I can't believe my baby girl is one today! The party was a huge success. Leah LOVED her cake and seemed to also enjoy ripping the paper off her gifts! The people who came to this party were: Nonni, Uncle Joe, Bisnonni, Uncle Mario, cousins Rosario & Mario, Zia Maria, Alex & Kristi. Happy Birthday Baby Girl, we love you!

Birthday Set-Up
After we put Leah to bed tonight, me and mom my started the set-up for tomorrows birthday celebration. I have never been a "theme" girl, so when it came time for party planning I decided to just pick the colors of Leah's nursery. So I suppose you could say my "theme" was bright, fun colors. This worked out so well since Easter is around the corner. Everything at the stores were starting to turn bright colors: M&Ms, cookies, bowls, plates, etc. The final setting looked great, well for my doing at least! HA!

Playing Dress-Up
My mom is an organized, clean, keeper...nothing like a hoarder! HA! She knows exactly where she had stored things from 25 years ago, when I was the one playing with them. This has been so great now that Leah is starting to do more playing. This hat was one of my play hats growing up, and obviously, Leah is loving it too! She is just too cool...

Daycare Birthday Party
Since Leah's first birthday falls on a weekend of spring break, LaDona decided to throw her an early birthday party. All of the kids sang happy birthday to her, and she even got her very own donut to eat. However, she just licked the powedered sugar! Such a lucky girl to have so many little friends to love on her, and a daycare provider that loves her like she loves her own kids.

Mommy's Night Out
About once a month, I have a girls night out with some of my co-workers. This was much easier months ago, when Leah wasn't able to crawl to the door as I was walking away. But, Daddy to the rescue. He put her in her stoller and they went for a walk. About one hour later, during my dinner, I starting receiving text messages from him. No words though, just pictures. The pictures needed no words. I just smiled and knew they were doing just fine! HA!

Fun at Grandpa Chapman's
Trevor and I had a fundraiser for school this weekend, so Leah spent the night at Grandpa Chapman's house. This was her first overnight there, and she did great! We drove down the next morning to spend the rest of the weekend there. The weather was so nice that most of our time was spent outdoors. Leah went on her first golf cart ride, sat in a fishing boat, and got to sit on the back of Grandpa's motorcycle. She was definitely loving "the farm" life.

Outside Play
Although windy, the weather has been beautiful for March! It's been 70 degrees all week, and looking like possible 80s next week, unbelievable! We have spent almost two hours each afternoon outside going on walks, visiting with neighbors, and just watching cars pass. Leah is getting used to playing outside and is slowly warming up to the outdoors! HAHA, just like her mama!

Not So Sure About Grass
March weather has brought so much warmth! Leah's daycare provider has been going outside every day that it has been warm, which has been many. These pictures are of Leah's first experience with grass, and then again two days later. So glad that she got over that quick...summer would not be so fun if grass was going to be an issue! HA!

Windy Winter
We have had hardly any snow this winter. What we have had enough of though, is wind! The weather has been in the 60s and 70s, but it is almost impossible to enjoy the outdoors because of the wind. Leah is not a fan at all. Screams the whole time she is in the stroller, but fresh air is good for her. It's been so windy that LaDona brought some outdoor play equipment inside. So Leah's getting her first look at a slide!

Finally Feeling Healthy
Holy moly! It took four days for that flu bug to get out of our house. Leah even gave it to daddy! He was miserable for the last two days, but poor Leah took four days before she would even think about eating. We finally had formula all day Monday, and little bites of food on Tuesday. Today, she is back at daycare! And, based on these pictures, she is loving being back with her friends.

Stomach Flu
Poor Leah has had that stomach flu for two days now! Ugh, it breaks my heart. All she wants to do is cuddle, and sleep. Not that I mind her doing those two things, but not in this way. I guess we are lucky that we have gone this long without her getting sick. But, it still stinks. We have attemped to give her pedialyte, but she hates it. I purchased it in every flavor, also got gatorade, ginger ale, popsicles, and nothing has worked. Everyone says it just needs to run its course...so we are waiting for the flu bug to go...and never come back! Bless her heart, even sick, she posed "soooo big" for her first "sick" picture.

11 Months Old
And again, another month passed. I can't believe in one month I will have a one year old! Leah is still sleeping and eating great. She has been into more finger foods lately: rice crispies, puffs, bread, crackers, broccoli, cookies, etc. She is still cruising pretty good through the house, but hasn't let go to take any steps yet. What is she doing is crawling away from us when she has to poop. We find that will be playing with her, and she will crawl away to another room (or in the corner) and then we start hearing her push. When she is done, she comes back to join us and play. Cracks us up! She LOVES going to daycare to see her friends, and jumps out of our arms when we get there. She is quite the social butterfly.
