The Daintys

Leah is ten months already and she will be one before we know it!  She continues to be a very active little girl and she is learning so many new things.  Here are some snippets of what's new in Leah's world. 1. Advanced Acrobatics and Climbing Skills Leah has taken to weaving in and out of the table and chairs. She does some excellent push-ups. This is nothing compared to climbing up the entire flight of stairs from the basement! 2. Balancing She can balance on a chair, and she is starting to stand alone for short periods of time. (Before plopping gracefully back to the ground.) 3. New Facial Expressions This is her new "What's-your-deal?" face. And this one is my FAVORITE. This is her look-at-me-I'm-so-cute-and-I-know-it face.

For labor day weekend we took a mini road trip to the Chicago area to visit Great Grandma Grace, Grandma Rutecki, and Aunt Teresa.  We also took Leah to her very first professional baseball game: White Sox vs. Red Sox.  (You can guess what colors Ryan was decked out in.  Fortunately, we had a cute baby with us so we did not get harassed.)  Leah enjoyed clapping along with the crowd, trying to swipe the beer bottle from the cup holder attached to the seat behind us, trying to swipe the cell phone belonging to the man next to us, and throwing crackers and the guys in front of us.   Here, of course, are pictures:
