Baby Leah Update

 Baby Leah is quickly growing up and becoming more and more the life of the party. My sister-in-law Sarah recently came down to Pinehurst and before she could even sit back and relax, I made her take some 6 month photos of Leah. They turned out AMAZING. We went to a nearby field around sundown and thankfully, Babykins cooperated. I love them! 
At her 6 month check-up:
Height: 27 in. (83 percentile)
Weight: 17 lbs. 5 oz. (68 percentile)
She is a little chunkster!
Her hair is still auburn in the sun and starting to grow in thicker, and her eyes go back and forth between blue and green. They can't decide!

Her little strong-willed personality is becoming more and more apparent-- and she is still a very needy baby. She loves to be held and cuddled, talked to, stuck right in the thick of the action, HATES the car, and has recently discovered Ritz crackers and popsicles. Mmmm! She does this funny thing where she cocks her head sideways to look at people. It's very cute. I also noticed that when I lay her on our bed to change her diaper, and the ceiling fan is on going around and around, she starts to follow it with her eyes and ends up shaking her head back and forth really fast. It's hilarious! 
 I just got this printed for our house, to put up next to Zach and Lucy above the stairs. I guess that means we're keeping her! Couldn't you just get lost in those eyes?? We are SO excited to go visit grandmas and grandpas this summer!
She is still a really tough cookie to get to giggle. Lucy is about the only who can consistently get her to laugh, and that's after mommy and daddy and Zachy have tried everything. She loves to wrestle with Jon and has somehow learned to growl. She does this deep, low-pitched growl when she gets frustrated. I guess she got that from her Grandpa. We are so thankful for this beautiful, healthy, silly little Baby Leah!
