Leah goes to the Zoo

Yesterday Alex won a trip to the zoo, a dinner, and a night stay at a fancy hotel from the bank that he works at.  Leah loved the whole thing, she just couldn't stay at the dinner with us, but her grandparents went there and took her to eat dinner in a different restaurant.  I'm sure she had a lot more fun there than if she had been with us.  Leah was so excited playing in the hotel that I slept before she did...  Haha We loved everything, but Leah was for sure the one that got the most out of it!

We didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few...

This is her face that she makes when she's done eating 

My favorite picture! Hahaha

10 months

Monday Leah turned 10 months old!! I can't believe that in 2 months she'll be a year old, she's still so litlle!

This last month she gained a constant companion: a little bump underneath her right eye. It's a clogged gland that is supposed to take up to 2 months to get better.  If it's not better by the end of the month she'll have to have a little "surgery" to take it off. =(

She already eats just about everything, including what she shouldn't. This last month she decided to try paper, dirt (from the indoor plant) and whatever little thing she finds on the floor. If I don't sweep the floor she "sweeps" it for me. She loves cheerios, when she doesn't want to eat her food, we make a deal.  She gets one cheerio for each spoonful of food she eats. It actually works, she eats everything and the both of us are happy.

The big news is that now she can stand up all by herself. She still can't get up without help, but she tries. She started playing, she would get up by holding on something, then she'd let go her hands and fall down on her bum. She thought it was really funny and so she did it again, and again, infinite times. Each time she stood up she was able to stand longer.  Now she stands really well for as long as she wants.
