BA's Corner: Where's Daddy?

AA, Nana, and I were sitting at the table tonight while I fed Leah her dinner.  Halfway through....

BA: "Leah, where's Mommy?"

Leah looks at AA and points to her.

BA: "Good job.  Now, where's Nana?"

Leah looks at Nana and smiles.

AA: "Good job."

Nana: "Where's Daddy?"

Leah shakes her head "no."

One Small Step for Peanut, One Giant Leap into Toddlerland

Leah took her first official steps on Labor Day - September 3rd, 1 week before her 14-month birthday.  She'd taken a step here and there for about a week when we tricked her into it, but on this day she began stringing them together. 

Yesterday was the first day we could get her to walk between something other than 2 people.  (The book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" seemed to do the trick...she loves sliding the little windows).  Tonight, she surprised us by suddenly walking halfway across the room to AA.  She's getting better and more confident each day.  But we tend to wear her out "practicing" - she certainly lets us know when we've hit the limit.

We're proud of our little Peanut!

First Balloon

This is Leah playing with her first balloon back on her 1st birthday. It's the only toy she has that takes weeks to wind up on the floor rather than seconds. I was actually impressed that, after she figured out that she needed to grab the string, she figured out how to hold the string.
