Leah and Zoe!

Playing with Chloe

"Hi!"

Leah and Daddy greeting Grandpa and Grandma through the tent window.

Sparklies

Playing with the dress-up accessories at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

20 Months

Percussionist

Rosa and Matt visited us last weekend, and they brought
Leah a bath glockenspiel. She loves it! (Peter loves it too.
He keeps asking to see the waterproof music cards, and
although Leah is very talented, I don't think she's the one
playing Twinkle, Twinkle.)

Nuggets and Waffle Fries

Leah doesn't like food. Chick-fil-a is an exception.

A Kiss for Thomas

"Choo-choo!"

Diaper Play

First she lines them up.

Then she stacks them.

Happy Father's Day!

Going out for a walk in the new backpack.

Recovering from the walk.

Busted

Another Free Gift

Leah enjoying one of Daddy's conference trinkets, a glowing pen.

Hard to Argue with Her Logic

Every morning Leah puts cookbooks on the windowsill. (I have a lot of
cookbooks, but she always selects the ones published by Presbyterian
Women's groups.) She then goes to her room, and brings back Green
Eggs and Ham and places it with the cookbooks. At night she gets
very upset when I try to put it back with the children's books. Leah wants
it to live in the kitchen where food books "belong".

Vegetable Prep

Slicing a carrot

A Bjorn's Life

Leah's first ride in the bjorn (2 weeks old).

Leah's last ride in the bjorn (19 months).
She still asks to get in her "born", but she's just too tall.
We're hoping she loves her new backpack even half as much.

First Attempt

I think we're still a few months away from sporting pigtails in
public, but we're practicing at home.

Crazy Outfit

If you check out this link to Graham's blog, you'll see that high
fashion runs in the family. Leah put this ensemble together --
the swimsuit cover-up paired with the winter coat is my favorite part.

Crayons Crayons Everywhere

We re-introduced the bath crayons with great success.

Leah kissed her work.

Budding Artist

Leah now sits for long periods of time drawing with her crayons.

And then . . .

She collected her purse and made a phone call.

Don't Try This at Home

Flip-flops are not a safe choice for yard work. But we went out to play
in the sprinkler, and the urge to mow could not be denied.
