Uncle Joe

As scary as he may look to the average person, Leah feels very differently about Uncle Joe! HA! Although Daddy is Leah's favorite male in her life, Uncle Joe is definitely next in line. She just adores him. She's tallest when he is holding her, so he lets her do things that the rest of us can't. For example, he lets her turn the ceiling fan, and grab things on top of cabinets...obviously where the favoritism comes from, understandable! This was a random moment of blanket cuddles, so sweet.

Fitting Objects

Leah's been playing with puzzles for quite some time now. In these past couple weeks we have noticed that she is really starting to try and fit shapes together versus just banging them together to make noise. She is using this skill in other toys she has too, very exciting!

Books Are So Fun

Leah has loved books since I started reading them to her at four days old. She loves flipping and pointing to things on the pages. Of course, there's the random rip and chewing of a page here and there. But, for the most part she knows that they are meant to be gentle with and enjoy in a calm way. I love that she enjoys books so much and I hope that her joy for books, and eventually reading, is something that lasts forever.

Laughing is a Great Workout

Favorite Position

Leah's current favorite position is standing. She eats, looks at books, and plays with toys all while leaning against the couch, stairs, chairs, etc. You would think such a little body would enjoy just laying around...nope!

Happy Valentine's Day

This was the best Valentine's day yet! We love you Leah!!

Grocery Shopping

Leah loves going grocery shopping with me. I'm guessing it's the loud, craziness of grocery stores. She will just watch people, grab things, hold things to me...it rather nice to have a partner during this miserable process. Her imitation of grocery shopping is so evident in her play. She prefers to play with real items too. What ever I have left out, she will put in the cart and start pushing it around. I can't wait to the day I can just send her to do the real thing, without me having to tag along! HA!
