We are in the process of building up Lylah's playroom! We bought our house with one and a half floors. That means that the entire downstairs is our home, and there is an upstairs bonus room. It's a large room! We used to use it as our living room, because I had surround sound built in when we built the house! But it was a real hassle going up and down stairs just to be in our living room.
So for a while, this room was just for storage. We would just store junk up here! Now that Lylah is running around, though, we knew it would be the perfect play room! We brought a bunch of toys up here. The room is still filled with various items, but we are going to take the next couple of weeks to spruce it up, and make it a fun, safe play room for her.
I installed a gate by the stairs, so we can sit comfortably up here and watch her. I also brought a small TV up here so that we can watch her favorite shows while she plays! It's shaping up to be the perfect set-up!
It was hard watching her on the bottom floor of our house because she would wonder down the halls out of sight.
Right now we are hanging out upstairs. I just had to get up because Lylah was trying to eat a coloring book. She likes to put paper in her mouth.
She's developing her language quite well. She says "This," and "That." She says doggie, duck, mama, dada, can sign if she wants more food. She has a few more words, but I can't remember them all right now!
