Lila's been grabbing the spoon lately making mealtimes even more of a mess! She's proving to be quite motivated to try things for herself.

Joe Russell is my best friend from our days back in Greenbrook. He and his brother Chris were regulars at our house when we were growing up in Danville. Thanks to LinkedIn, we recently reconnected and got together for a great day up at his house near Lake Berryessa in Napa.

Some great pics from our day:

Lila's getting good a scooting around the house in her walker!

She's quick and she loves to get into the cabinets -- especially the one with tupperware inside. She's been known to stash toys in the dishwasher and the other day when she scooted around when Cindy had the fridge open, she saw what was inside and proclaimed "wow!"

Lila stayed up late to catch the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics. What a show! Lila was super excited to see all the festivities and made us laugh like crazy in the process. Cindy caught her reaction on video.
