4 Months Old

022805_4Months.jpg
Sorry for the posting delay. Leah was gallivanting around
Austin on her birthday.

You can tell that she's a slender girl from her photo. Today
she went to the doctor for her check-up, and we learned that
she's 95th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight.
Her head circumference is 75th percentile -- chock full of brains!

The Victory (4)

022505_TummySequence4.jpg
"Ta-dah!"

Leah has really been working on this rolling thing the past couple of days.
Tuesday night she added back-to-front rolls to her repertoire. Then
Wednesday morning she learned to travel by pairing her front-to-backs
with her back-to-fronts. She made good progress across the family room
before becoming acquainted with the tile floor. (She's fine, and yes, her
parents will be padding the floor.)

The Mommy Perspective

022205_Mommy Perspective.jpg
Leah has had a rough week going down for her afternoon nap,
so we've been using the sling to calm her down. It works
like a charm.

An astronaut, a trapeze artist, a sky diver? Maybe all three.

Concentration

021505_NewToy.jpg
Leah is developing a real appreciation for her toys.
She actually grabs them and looks at them awhile
before she tries to eat them.

The Thumb

021005_Thumb.jpg
Several weeks ago Leah decided that her thumbs were
super special. Now it's time to go public. May I
present, THE LEFT THUMB.

(She likes them so much that she often tries to suck
one while nursing. It can be a bit messy.)

Kickin' Back

Leah has a new high chair. She's not going to be eating
in it anytime soon, but we thought she might like sitting
with us during our meals. I think she liked the new
perspective.

Kisses from Grandma K

Getting some love from Grandma K.

(I promise her eyes are this wide a good portion of the time.
It's not just me flashing cruelly in her face.)

I'll try and be a good sport, but one of these days . . ."

No, the Tigers are not in the Superbowl this year, but
Leah is cheering for them anyway. Here she is doing
her end-zone dance. -- Peter

I can't help it. I just love her in a hooded towel.
This one also features our lovely pink bathroom tile.

Leah is enjoying her baths more and more. Now she babbles through
them while chewing on her hand.
