Dancing Queen

Look at My Ponytail

I love low key weekends! We have NO plans at all, and that hasn't happened for several months now. So what are we to do? Play fashion show and hairdresser of course! I put several different outfits on Leah to see what still fits, and of course she was an angel through it all. Then I found the hair ties that she got for Christmas. Naturally, I felt the need to try those as well. This was the final style! Perfection! =)

Getting a Little Exercise In

Hittin' a Different Kind of Bottle

Now that Leah is super mobile, she has been using the walker a lot more during my busy times. She is in it when I cook, clean, do the dishes, use the bathroom, etc. Most of the time she just likes to be next to me, running over my toes and ankles. Today, I was preparing for dinner. I cleaned off my counters, had my pots and pans ready and opened the fridge to scope out some options. I dug around for a while and eventually found some items to start cooking. After about 2 minutes I realized I hadn't heard wheels for a while. I peeked around my island and this picture was captured. She had grabbed a champaigne bottle from the door of our refrigerator and wheeled off with it before I even got out of the refrigerator with my ingredients. Note to self: all alcohol must be placed elsewhere. I thought this was an adolescent issue! They sure do start young these days...ha!

Good Thing the Cleaning Lady Came...NOT

Trevor and I made the decision to hire someone to come clean the house because we just don't have the time, or want to spend the time needed, to clean well. Today was our first visit from the cleaning service. They spent almost three hours in our home. The hard wood was swept, mopped, and steam cleaned to perfection. Literally twenty minutes after they left, Leah puked all over it. I usually wouldn't post a picture like this...but considering the story, time, and money spent...this picture was a necessity. I spent the next fifteen minutes on my hands and knees to wipe out every crevice of the hard wood.

Individual Play

The last few weeks we have noticed that Leah has entertained herself very well. It used to be that we HAD to be on the floor with her, or holding her as we did things around the house. Lately she has been great at just sitting on the floor and doing her own thing. Of course, she prefers that we be with her on the floor, but it is no longer required. I could be working on my laptop and she will just play on the floor in front of me for a good fifteen minutes. To some of you this seems like no time. To those of you who are parents, you know those minutes are extraordinary! HA!

Daycare Besties

I LOVE these pictures. Kayleigh and Leah have gotten pretty close at daycare since they are the "babies" of the group. Although similar in size, Kaleigh is about six months older than Leah. LaDona says that that play really well together, but when one steals the others' toy the baby babbling begins. HA! I am so glad she already has a bestie girlfriend!
