Happy Birthday, Leah!








WOW, can't believe the day has come already. Little Leah turned one on Saturday. What a great day. We actually celebrated her birthday Sunday since we had a wedding to attend on Saturday. Today we went to mass, came home & had a nice lunch of spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, steamed vegetables, and then CAKE and ICE CREAM! Well, unfortunately, Leah didn't get any ice cream - milk allergy = Hives (we actually even let her try a few bites at Red Robin on Friday night, & when we got home her belly & all were covered with hives). Oh well, she'll take the cake! She did enjoy her cake today. She also enjoyed her new gifts: we gave her a rocker, and from some family she received a cute outfit, cute sweater, a Care Bear, and some fabric hand-crafted books. It really was a fun day. Her brothers sure enjoyed opening the presents to "help" her! Ha, ha.

This year has gone by so quickly and she changed so much; hard to believe it's been a year since our little pink, 7lb 5oz, little one arrived. She's such a happy girl and is really understanding a lot now. Sometimes it really seems like she says words, too. She'll say words that sound like "hello," "get up," and "diaper." Obviously not 100% clear, but she says them at appropriate times & it does sound like the words. She also answers yes & no often when you ask her a question. Not quite walking, but definitely standing & moving along well. I'm sure the walking will be here soon.
