Five more months

Leah turned 19 months on Monday, and it hit me that she will be 2 in 5 months! I just can't believe it. She just turned one. Oh how I wish I could go back and do it all over again. I wouldn't change anything. I just want to do it all again. I have loved every moment with my sweet girl. I just want to hold that little baby again. I want to watch all of her firsts again. She brings me such joy. Sometimes I look at her and wonder what I did to deserve her. God blessed me with more than I could ever deserve.

Leah is having so much fun now that the weather has been a bit warmer. We got a water table, and she loves it. She hasn't quite figured out how to keep the water in the table. Trying to pour the water into the water wheel....the wrong way!
The end result....a very happy, very wet little girl.

Grandmama and Granddaddy came for a visit. They brought Leah a new doll. She has had so much fun playing with that doll. It was a good day. It had been a while since we last saw them. It was nice to spend time with them. We miss them since they are several hours away.

Leah finally has enough hair for some piggy tails. I just love it. I know I am very partial to my own child (as is any mother), but I just think she is so cute! She thought so, too. She enjoyed looking at herself in the mirror.

At this age, she weighs about 20 pounds. She is wearing 12 month to 18 month clothes and size 4 shoes. She still wears size 3 diapers. She loves her milk. She likes to eat fruit of any kind, almost any vegetable, and loves mac and cheese. But her favorite thing of all is still marshmallows. Her Grump introduced her to chocolate cake so she is a big fan of that, too! She has finally added some meats other than sandwich turkey to her list of likes. She LOVES Nemo. Oh my goodness! She asks to watch him every day!!!! We don't let her, but she still asks. It sure did come in handy when travelling though. She likes to sing E-I-O, Twinkle Twinkle, and Rock a Bye Baby. She does a pretty good job, too. It's so much fun to watch her learn. It's just amazing how much she can repeat and what actions she likes to mimic. What joy she brings to our lives. I know life will continue to be more challenging as she asserts her will, but I look forward to all that the future has to bring. She just doesn't know how much she is loved.
