11 months!

At 11 months, Leah is babbling like crazy and she seems to recognize, but can't quite spit out, words like book, car, bird, and clap. Her new favorite thing is climbing the steps and she would head straight up with no spotter if we'd let her. She LOVES to laugh and any game that involves her being the comedian is a big hit. It's hard to believe that our little baby will be one in less than a month...she has gotten so big, so fast!

Won't be long now!

Leah pushes her cart around the house by herself. We're just waiting for those first brave steps.

Bike Riding

We finally got Leah set up to cruise Batavia in style. She really enjoys sitting on Daddy's bike and riding around with us. She could, however, do without the helmet : )

Happy 10 Month Birthday!

Leah celebrated her 10 month birthday in Arizona. Thank you to Auntie Lauren for baking cupcakes. At 10 months, Leah is BUSY! She crawls all over the place in her own unique way, which involves keeping her right knee off the ground, pushing with her right foot, and dragging her left leg. It looks funny, but it works for her! She loves to empty...trash cans, drawers, cabinets, nothing is off limits : ) Little Miss Hotshot is also pulling herself up now and she still enjoys being walked, so we're pretty sure she'll be two-legged soon.

Fun in Arizona!

Leah took her first vacation last week. Our visit to Aunt Tibbie's house in Chandler was wonderful. Leah loved swimming in the pool with Nana and Auntie Lauren too.
