It's time

 This year has already proved to be a busy, yet productive, year. We started off by closing on a house and moving in. We're still living in boxes now (so that's why there's no pictures yet) but we're making progress every day. I started working from home. David started a lot of new video projects at work. We bought David a new toy (see the picture below).

And that's just what David and I have been up to.

Our little Leah has been just as busy. She has learned how to blow raspberries and blows them at everyone, getting spit all over everyone as well. David has found her ticklish spots and loves making Leah giggle. Leah hated moving because she didn't like not being the focus of our attention all the time and she woke up crying in her crib a few times when she wasn't sure where we were. But Leah loves our new home. The day we got the keys to our home, Leah made herself at home by rolling all over the living room floor. (Our apartment had old, uncomfortable, carpet so we didn't let her play on it very much.) But this new carpet has really helped Leah take off on her rolling. We've even left her playing on the carpet a few times and come back to find her sound asleep. It's adorable. Also, Leah has been experiencing new foods. She still tries to spit it out and gives me the funniest expressions when I feed her food but she's starting to put up with the new food a little better.

And here's her newest trick. We've been working helping Leah sit up on her own. She's done really well on our laps where we could adjust our legs to help her balance better but hasn't been able to sit on the floor. I think her bum is just too skinny to give her much support but we sat down today and she sat by herself really well. I was so excited! My little princess is growing up.

And this week, we're going to get Leah's heart fixed. It's scary and exciting at the same time. We've eagerly awaited this week and dreaded it at the same time. Our little princess has no idea what's ahead for her this week and it's probably better that way. Her parents will be worrying enough for all of us. But we know she'll be in good hands and we're excited to see how well she does afterwards. In the meantime, please keep our little Leah in your prayers and hopefully she'll recover quickly and come back home to us. Until then, here's some fun pictures we took this weekend:

Leah surprised us on Sunday by sitting up on her own for almost a minute! I had to keep her distracted with her butterfly toy, otherwise she'd fall down quickly.

I promised David that as soon as we got a house I'd let him get a piano. We bought one this week and he's practically been playing it ever since.
