I have Leah do her animal noises about 20 times a day. Fish face is one of my favorites.....and now you can see why!!!!!!! (For my record, she now does elephant, doggie, fish face, cow, owl, monkey, cat, lamb, horsey, snake, and giraffe).
This is probably the last picture you will get of Leah with only 2 teeth on the bottom. A third is poking through on her left side. She is such a silly, happy kid. I get weekly e-mails from babycenter.com about what to expect from my toddler and some helpful tips. The last 4-5 e-mails have been all about how my baby should throw a fit about thus and such or her favorite word is probably 'No' or she'll hate doing this.......well, not Leah. She never throws ANY fits (unless she's too hungry and the food isn't coming fast enough), and she has never said 'No' in her life.
Well, yesterday we COMPLETELY ran out of milk. We typically have whole, 1%, and Skim, but we didn't have a drop left of anything. Seeing as how this is a problem putting 'someone' to bed, I took Leah to the store last night which postponed her going to bed until 9:30. Because of that, this morning I never heard anything from her room. Finally at 10:15 I went to check that she was still even in there.....this is what I found!!!
So much for that mattress we bought her. I think she ends up like this frequently. She'll climb out of bed (or fall out) but be too tired to get all the way back in!!!!
Some other things we love about Leah:
*She says "Hi" and waves to EVERYONE!!! People at the grocery store do a double take because Leah just said hi to them!!! She has put smiles on lots of strangers' faces!!
*She'll randomly come over to me (or Alex) and squeeze us around the legs. She not only hugs, but her cute little hands pat pat us in the most wonderful hugs, ever!!
*If we say, "Can Mommy or Daddy have loves?"....she'll run over into our arms and give a great big hug with her head on our shoulder. Too cute!
*Her walking is still adorable....the way she swings her arms around funny. She has almost reached the point of running....and does that best when daddy plays 'hide and seek peek a boo' with her!!
*She signs 'Please' for everything. Usually she'll point to something and say, "Eech", to which we reply, "Would you like some?"....Then she signs please and waits for us to give it to her.
*In the morning, or after her nap, she comes over to her bedroom door and bangs on it to let us know she's ready to be let out. Also, the second I put my shoes on, she's over to the front door banging on it because she knows we're going outside. Sometimes she'll even bring me my shoes in hopes that we can go somewhere. Too bad it's getting too cold for a regular outing. It's hard to resist her sweet pleadings, though.
Well, Leah, we sure love you!!! And we're excited for you to be a big sister. Someday we'll eventually find out if you're having a brother or a sister....The doctors office has postponed that ultrasound TWICE!!! Sad day. Hopefully we'll know on Friday and we can go get baby brother/sister a Christmas present from you!!!
