My Life.....: November 2014

Leeana,

You've changed so much in the last 15 months! Yesterday your wellness visit shows that you're 31 inches long and 19lbs 15oz. You're slowly gaining weight (healthily) and getting so tall!!! I look forward to watching you continue to grow the next few months. I feel like time is flying by and I'm missing you being such a tiny little dependent baby who needed me for everything, and now you just want to be active on your own.

Also, it's officially been 1 year since I've been home with you. I can't believe that time has gone by so quickly from when I last walked out of the doors of NASI as an employee with some of my most favorite ladies, and became your full-time mommy. I've enjoyed every single moment of being home with you and working in home to raise you. You're such a fun girl and make it totally worth it.

Here's how you've changed last month:

-your daddy taught you how to turn on and off a light switch.

-you open and close the doors on the kitchen cabinets NON-STOP!

-you've officially figured out properly how to get on and off the couch alone, all the time

-you're great at handing things back to people when asked "can I have it?"

-you now scream at things if they don't go your way (you have quite the personality)

-instead of crying when you don't get food you say "ummmmmmm mmmm" and it lets us know you want to eat

- you're trying to say the word dog, and every time you see Preemo you saw "daw"

-you've begun to sometimes close your eyes when you walk... Kinda cute until you run into something

-if you're playing with a cell phone and a noise happens, you hand the phone back

-you now understand when you sit in your high chair and are told to wait, so we can pray, you wait, give me your hand to pray and wait patiently. When we're done praying, I let you know to go eat an you happily grab your food.

-you've figured out how to open preemos crate, and have officially dumped out his bowl of water all over the floor

-you've learned to go downstairs on the steps, by sliding backwards.

-you can reach the doorknob to the front door

-you know what your hairbrush is used for and you try to brush your hair, although not very successful

-you're just like your daddy, you hate having socks on! You seem to somehow take them off every time you get a chance.

-you're beginning to walk fast and soon going to run

-you've learned to knock on doors and glass

I've enjoyed seeing you continue to change every month, although I feel it's been too fast for me. I'm trying to enjoy everyday of your life but I feel you're rushing it! Slow it down baby girl! Here are some pics for a recap...
