Happy Thanksgiving!

So much to be thankful for in 2009!



Leana enjoying her first Thanksgiving










Leana got lots of time with all her grandparents and Daddy too

Cat Nap

I went in to check on Leana while she was napping and found that Mio had joined her. Both cute and a little unnerving.

Decatur Island

We took Leana for her second trip to Decatur Island this weekend, along with friends Melissa, Brendan, Portia, and Luke. The two non-dads stayed and babysat Leana while the rest of us went out for a nice run. The rest of the weekend was spent staying cozy in the cabin, eating good food, and watching as the wind got crazier and crazier. In the end we had to take a bigger boat back to the mainland since there were 6 foot waves. It was still very scary and rocky on the way back in and while my stomach flip flopped and my hands turned white from gripping the car seat so tightly, Leana fell asleep.

Another exciting moment was when Leana rolled over from her back to her front. I was in the kitchen and missed it, and no amount of coaxing could get her to do it again.

3 Months Old

Leana is a quarter of a year old today! It all goes by so fast.

Her latest tricks include: sleeping 10 hour stretches (ok this only happened twice), lots of smiling and semi-laughing, more "talking", superwoman flying pose, a new love of the bouncy chair and kicking her feet around, grasping toys that I dangle in front of her, sitting in her Bumbo chair, and sucking loudly on her fingers as much as possible.
