She still continues to roll everywhere. She can sit unsupported and play for as long as she chooses. She will fall forward or backward so she can start rolling to get what she wants. She will support herself with her arms when reaching for an object, but hasn't figured out how to get up on all fours yet. She babbles ba ba, la la, ra ra, ma ma and what sounds like yum yum. Greg is just waiting for da da. She has started waving, but not always on command. She has so much fun waving at random things...like the fan which she has decided is her favorite thing. She loves to watch it and talk to it.
It is so much fun to watch her with Greg. She lights up and just gets so excited when he comes home.
I have started going to a stay at home moms group. It's nice to get to hang out with other moms. On this day we went to the splash pad. Although she can't run around in all of the sprinklers she had a great time watching. We tried out her new shades. She let them stay on for just a little while. We are going to have to work on keeping them on once we start going to the pool.
We just had to show off this cute little outfit our friend let us borrow. She is still wearing her 3-6 month clothes and has started wearing some 6-9 month outfits. What fun we have dressing up. She loves to look at herself in the mirror especially when she has on a bow. She just smiles and waves at herself.
My first mother's day was great! Greg gave me a necklace with Leah's name on it. It was very special. Mom, dad, my brother and sister-in-law came over to visit and have lunch. What a blessing to have such a wonderful mother who is a great example.
Before everyone came to the house for mother's day, we went to visit Aunt Louise. She is my mother's aunt. She is really more like my mom's mother and our grandmother. She has not been doing very well, and probably won't be with us much longer. This was also her 84th birthday. What a special lady.
Leah's first tooth finally made its entrance. One night she woke up a few hours after going to sleep for the night. This is not like her at all. She was crying the most pitiful cry. After a little snuggle with mom and some off brand Tylenol (thanks to the recall), she went back to sleep. Two days later she had a tooth! Now we practice brushing her tooth everyday. She loves her toothbrush.
We are thankful that summer is here, and we get to spend so much time outside. Leah loves to just be outdoors. We like to take strolls through the neighborhood. It's so fun to watch her noticing new sights and sounds. We are looking forward to the pool opening soon. I can't wait to see what she does.
