Leila is really developing her own little (big!) personality. We have established a nice routine as a family and Leila is such a good natured baby, which certainly makes it easy (so far...). She has learned to eat her Cheerio's by herself--current success rate is at about 20-25% and she just loves to stuff them in her mouth and drop them too! She is a vocal little girl and loves to hear herself scream now. It is quite easy to make her laugh...a good raspberry on the tummy will send her into a fit of giggles and chasing her up the stairs to our apartment also does the trick.
Mornings are a fun time...she comes into the bed with us at about 5:30-6pm for the morning feeding and we fall back asleep together until a more sane hour (7:30-8am, depending on how often I hit the snooze button). Then it's a mad dash to get ready for work, dress Leila and all head into the MINI for the morning drive. Leila tells us about her morning on the way into work and the day is underway.
Leila also has learned how to clap and loves to show off her new skill. This has been an exciting age...she loves to sit on the bed while I get ready for work and bounce up and down, all smiles and giggles. She brightens up our morning, day and night!
