Swimming


Leah is getting smarter and smarter with every day that goes by!! This morning she asked if it was Water Wednesday...which is an activity they do at school every Wednesday involving bathing suits, sprinklers, water tables etc. I shook my head and said, "Nope, today is 2 in 2 days Tuesday!!". I can't believe our baby is turning 2 already!! Here is a nice shot of her swimming over the weekend. She did quite well, but really, how could she not have with swimmies AND a swim ring on!

New Bedroom for Leah!

Leah is doing such a great job lately of embracing her almost 2-year-old-ness, we're so proud of her! Sunday was the first day we attempted to put her to sleep in her big girl bed for nap time, and she did great! So, Sunday night we decided it was time for no turning back, and tried out her new bedroom. Last night was night # 3 and she slept ALL night! For those of you that may not know, that is an amazing feat...she sleeps through the night MAYBE once a week, so we're going to cross our fingers that this becomes a more common habit at our house! I now have jumped in headfirst on transforming the nursery into HE-VB's room. There's so much to be done before he comes, but we're enjoying the change!!
It's been nice and hot these past few days, so we took Leah down to the local splash pad. She had a great time running in and out of the water and signing that it was cold.

Here is a video of her activity, if you catch at the end that a motorcycle drove by, that is what she is signing with her right hand. (what a smart girl!)

The other weekend, Rick went to our friends Kevin and Maggie's house to help with a car repair and took Leah with him. Their daughter Charlotte and Leah had a cocktail while they waited. Thanks Maggie for sending this picture, it's adorable!!
