Leah's 10 Month...

Leah is well into her 11th month-- can you believe it?  I'm just now sharing her 10 month picture with you all.  Here she is!  Instead of trying to remember what Leah could do at exactly 10 months, back on June 15th when this picture was taken, I thought I'd just share a little about her now- at nearly 11 months old~

Leah is a fast crawler now.  Her favorite things to crawl to are doors (which she loves to push open and closed) and rugs (she loves to pull up the corners and eat whatever crumbs or bits of dirt are hiding underneath).  Oh, she also loves to crawl to Mommy, Daddy, or Grace.  Leah still has an exclamation that's unlike anything we've ever heard-- and if someone would like to comment and take a stab at describing it, I'd be grateful!  I can't put it into words, but it's awfully cute and I hope she keeps doing it.  We'll have to post a video of it.

Leah is happy, happy, happy, and likes a good cuddle.  She loves to walk and run--with help-- and is just starting to try to pull herself up on things.  She loves bath time but doesn't like the pool or beach at all.  She can use a straw or sippy cup for drinking and knows sign language for "more".  Everything goes in her mouth.  She likes to turn pages in books, pick up tiny things, clap her hands, play hide and seek, ride in the stroller, and dance to music.  She puts up with Grace's squeezes and hugs pretty well, but is starting to fight back!  She can point to your nose, eyes, and mouth...and then looses interest when you try to teach her "chin".  We're working on it!  

It's been a wonderful 10+ months, Leah Anne!
