Ten Months!

By
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.

Oh my gosh. I am still crying as I am enjoying how precious she is. The pictures of her sitting in the chair look just like Ryan at that age. Miss you all so much and thanks for sharing the pictures.

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
