lettuce is a fairly short-lived plant. it usually lasts a few month. then it bolts and forms seeds. you can plant new lettuce several times a year, depending on where you live.
Sounds like you have active birds in your area.  When lettuce goes to seed the birds will peck at it, eat some and carry some off.  Seeds falling into the ground will produce new product............They will die off when the fall comes & it gets cooler.  You could harvest it and use it while you have it fresh.  It will die off in the august heat.
First, you must plant the seeds; if you are having lettuce growing in your garden and you did not plant it, then the seeds passed through the GI Tract of an animal, most likely: birds.
