Happy 5th Birthday Leana!!

Our baby girl is already 5 years old!

Equal parts sweet and mischievous, she loves getting fancy as much as she loves to dig her hands in the dirt to find bugs or plant seeds.  A future lion doctor (according to her)/professional negotiator (according to me), she tells me she was "born to climb rocks and trees".

A couple weeks ago Leana completed her first high monkey bars and now likes to try them at every playground we go to.  She has a new bike without training wheels that she pedaled by herself for a few feet yesterday for the first time.  She is loving swim lessons and swam about half way across the pool today with no help from her teacher.  Her special birthday request was to jump into the super deep end!

Leana will start Kindergarten in less than a month and I am pretty sure I am more nervous about it than she is.  She will continue her dance lessons with a new beginning ballet/tap class as well.

She still loves bugs and dinosaurs, and also anything in the fairy/princess/Elsa category.


 This dress has been a favorite for a long time!


Birthday Tea with Nana!

Monkey Bars


Crawl stroke with side breathing! This is the furthest she has made it without any help from the teacher.
