16 Months Going On 16 Years!

Oh my goodness, where has our little baby gone? Lately, Ryan and I feel like we have been dealing with a teenager instead of a toddler. Miss Leah has quite the personality and knows what she wants and what she needs to do to get it! We cannot believe how fast our sweet girl is growing. She continues to amaze us with her precious smiles, wet kisses, and infectious laugh.

At 16 months, Leah:
-has 12 teeth with two more just breaking through the gums
-can say mama, dada, ball, and bye bye
-can make the animal noises for elephant, lion, and monkey
-is having some attachment issues with the paci, but we are working on it :)
-loves drinking out of a straw when we go out to eat
-is doing really well eating with a fork
-still eats anything and everything
-LOVES going outside. She would much rather walk and run than ride in the wagon or stroller
-has her mommy and daddy wrapped around her sweet chubby finger!

Here are some pictures of our girl!

"Can you see me daddy?"
Funny wrinkled nose!
Silly girl!
Such an angel face
Here we go... this girl can throw a mean tantrum
We just cannot get enough of this precious girl!

Leah Grace, daddy and I fall more in love with you every day. You are our princess, our miracle girl, and we will be eternally grateful for you. Thank you God for letting us be Leah's parents and get to be a part of this incredible life.

Love it! She is precious. We too are trying to wean from the paci. Isaac still uses it at night. I thought that maybe I would avoid the paci with Grace but you know, I needed it for those fussy nights so will have another baby attached to paci. You and Ryan are wonderful parents!
