The things she's doing these days:
-Eating bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas (with great dissatisfaction), and pears
-Army crawling all over the place....she's quick too!
-Waving "hi" and "bye", usually with her wave turned in towards her own face! So funny!
-Jumping and playing in her exersaucer toy
-Sleeping through the night most nights, with an occasional 4am snack
-Giggling lots, especially when you play "peek-a-boo" with her
-She loves the cell phone, especially when talking to her daddy in AZ and when watching videos he sends
-Sitting up with someone nearby to catch her when she starts leaning like the Tower of Pisa
-Giving lots of wet and slobbery kisses! She puts her hands on either side of your face and then comes at you, mouth open wide, for a "kiss!" It's pretty hysterical!
Leila is really becoming her own little person. She has a very strong willed personality already! She's opinionated and not afraid to tell you about it.....hmmmm....who does this remind us of?! She's sweet and cuddly and will fall asleep in your arms. She's determined and patient all at the same time. We just feel so blessed to be her parents; to teach her and learn from her at the same time!
The past month and a half have been pretty crazy for us as a family. Javin has moved into a new apartment in Arizona. We rented our home in Portland. Leila and I are living between family members and flying back and forth to see Javin and for me to work here in Portland. It's crazy! We have an amazing family who has helped us sooooooo much. Without them, we would never have been able to make this move. Thank you!!!!
We love you Leila! You're so darn cute! ;-)
