Angels are made with 47 pieces

 Our little Leah is growing up! I can't believe she's already 5 1/2 months!! Here's an update on how much she's learned since the last time I posted:

Leah loves reading with her dad. Here she is reading the book Corduroy with her Corduroy teddy bear. So cute!

 Leah loves taking naps with her daddy. We have so many pictures like this. I can't help documenting this sweet moment. Leah has also learned that she won't fall asleep unless someone is cradling her, she has her binky in her mouth, and her arms are folded in front of her to keep her from grabbing the binky. Combine these three actions and she'll be asleep in no time.

 Leah LOVES candy!! Just kidding! She can't eat it yet. But everyone thought she was adorable at the trunk or treat so we came home with tons of candy. Leah also loves Tangled---or at least she will. David and I love the movie so we dressed up for Halloween. David was Flynn Ryder, I was Repunzel and Leah was Pascal. You can find pictures of us all on Facebook. I forgot to add our family picture on here.

 Leah also loves playing with her cousins. She has so many cousins who love playing with her on my side of the family (29 to be exact). We're eager to get her surgery done so that she can actually play with them though. We've had to keep her at a safe distance so she won't get sick. But during Thanksgiving break, we got to meet her new cousin, Emma. They're just 3 months apart and are destined to be best friends. :-)

 It was fun to watch these two interact with each other.

 We know which one is the bully... Just kidding. Emma was trying to grab at Leah's hair. Luckily she doesn't really have any yet.

 Speaking of hair, Leah got her first haircut! She has the cutest little fohawk on her head and some of the hair was really long. The rest of her head is covered in fuzz but I finally got tired of the Alfalfa look she had going and trimmed the top of her head.

 We really have found that "Angels are made with 47 pieces." Leah is the sweetest baby I've ever met, and I'm not saying that because I'm her parent. Or maybe I am. She hardly ever cries, just a few minutes of fussiness once in a while. She's such a motivated little girl too. She hasn't quite learned to sit on her own but whenever we're holding her, she'll lock up her legs to let us know she's ready to stand. And she loves standing! She gets the cutest little grin and makes the funniest noises because she's so proud of herself and wants to show off to us how strong she is. I think that when she learns to walk, she's going to take off running. But we're not in any hurry for that to happen just yet. We're focusing on sitting and rolling over first.

And finally, Leah has her parents wrapped around her little finger. We sure love our little princess and can't imagine what life would be without her. We're so blessed that she chose to come to our family and are excited to see her grow.
