Happy Easter!

We had another busy, family-filled weekend with a Meyers side wedding shower and Easter. On Saturday we headed back to Fairfax for Nate Cain's wedding shower. It was a mini Stallman reunion and it's always great to see everyone. Even better, Leah was so well behaved the whole time!

No toys necessary, she just played with a spoon :)

Grandma taught me how to get my snacks out

The shower was held at the Stallman pond house they recently built. It will be a great place to have access to in the future!

We celebrated Easter and Brianna's upcoming birthday at the Schmidt's on Sunday. The weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of the day playing outside. 

We discover Leah is terrified of swinging! Poor peanut!

Hanging out with Grandma Deaner

This was the only part of the play-set Leah enjoyed as she didn't like the swing or even the slide this time around. It kept her and Luke occupied for a while though!

We made sure we got an updated family picture as it was long overdue

Our happy girl :)

March/April Pictures

Since I failed at blogging last month here are some pictures from the last month that are too cute not to share!

10 Months Old

Leah is now 10 months old and I realize that I have been bad and haven't blogged in a month! She is very busy these days, braving 4-5 wobbly steps on her own before launching herself at someone to be caught.  She is also babbling a lot more and she waves and says bye bye. Usually she waves by opening and closing both hands at once to make it extra cute :)  She is doing so well eating table food, we are completely done with all baby food/homemade squash or sweet potatoes and she now eats what we eat. This also makes Bowzer very happy as he gets to eat what Leah eats - so much for no people food allowed! She loves her puppy and is never too far away from him while we are at home. He doesn't seem to mind quite as much now that she shares her food. 

Leah will toss scraps over to him or let him eat out of her hand and she thinks it is the funniest thing ever!

She has also discovered how to open and close our cabinets and one of her new favorite things to do is play with the Tupperware.  

Our monthly photo shoots are getting much harder with Leah's dislike of staying still. This is especially troublesome during diaper changes. No matter how happy she is, the minute we lay her down on her back to change she starts complaining. Lucky for me, during the week I hardly have to do this since Brian does morning and bedtime changes! 

10 months old and starting to become a toddle - bittersweet! I officially went down to pumping once a day at work last week which makes her getting older even more real.
