Leah and Zoe!

New Sleep Position

Leah's tastes are maturing. She now prefers sleeping on her side
with her feet through the crib slats.

She has also started rolling from front to back. She decided
that the best way to avoid tummy time was to take control
of the situation.

Girlfriends

Leah is hanging out with Mom, Rowena, and her soon-to-be friend.
We look forward to her March arrival.

Preview for Kevin

We had a great visit with friends last weekend,
and Leah enjoyed the attention immensely.
Here she is showing soon-to-be-dad Kevin that
holding a baby can sometimes be challenging.

Groovin'

Leah is finding her inner rhythm.

3 Months Old

Leah hit the big quarter-year mark today!
(The bunny had a much harder time during the photo
shoot than he used to. He got pummeled by our wiggler.)

Stuffed Chicken

Playing with my chicken requires serious concentration.

Tummy Time

Leah's not thrilled with her required tummy time.
She likes it a lot better when a bunch of colorful
toys are available for her viewing pleasure.

Little girl. Big yawn.

Here's the last of the one month old shots.
I love that he caught her yawning. She looks
like this quite a bit.

Hungry?

The pinky is a valuable indicator.

Closeup

Her eyes were still a bit crusty at this point, but
just look at that face!

Cousin Graham

For the next few days I'm going to post some beautiful
pictures that Leah's Uncle David took when he met her.
They're from when she was one month old.

Here is Leah meeting her cousin Graham. He was
sick at the time (hence the forced distance), but you
can see the mutual interest. She can't wait to hang out again.

The New Yorker

Peter's starting her early.

Greedy

She quickly decided that 2 toys were better than one.

Possessed

Leah's just starting to intentionally hold onto rattles and things.
I know it's the flash, but she looks a little crazed.

Lookin' Good

Yes, she still sleeps in roughly the same position.
And no, the hair doesn't need to be styled to do that.

Mesmerized

Peter and Leah spent a good portion of the afternoon
propped up on pillows learning about ceiling fans. (Luckily
she's learning to multi-task, so her hand gnawing didn't
suffer.)

Auntie Veevs

Our friend Aviva was in town over New Year's, and
she got to meet Leah. It was a big love fest.

Smile

I just had to post one more from her 2 month birthday.
You can see how charming Leah is. Gramma J. is
standing off to the side trying to get her to smile at
the camera. She won't do it for the camera, but she's
happy to do it for her gramma.

Comfy?

No, that isn't a blanket hanging down. That's all Leah!
She slept very comfortably in this position on Gramma's lap.

Snowman

She made quite a cute snowman on Christmas day.

Dress Up

Leah looks a bit skeptical of my dressing her up.

Opening Presents

Leah enjoyed opening presents. She got
to snuggle with her Gramma the whole time.

Xmas Eve with Mommy

Enjoying the winter light in Kentucky.

Caleb and Heather

Uncle Caleb and Aunt Heather admire Leah on
her birthday. (We love admirers!)
