12 months....1 year!

here's a look back at our monthly photos:)

11 months

 wow! almost one year! here are our monthly pictures. leighton is wearing her christmas dress i am making for her:) i was fitting it to her, when my scatterbrain remembered to do her photo. don't look close or you'll see an unfinished hem. what would the judges on project runway say! yikes;)

now back to it- hem the dress and trim the sleeves...i think they are a little to fluttery. 

unless of course i get distracted again.

10 months

attempt no. 2 on our 10 month photos...

ten months

we attempted to take 10 month photos today... someone would NOT sit still. we will make another attempt later, but I am not making any promises;)

nine months

at nine months this little girl is 18 pounds and just over 28 inches long AND walking! if she really wants to get someplace quick, or away from someone, who shall remain nameless, she will still crawl. but she is walking more and more each day. She is silly, observant and curious, with a little mischief in her eyes- just like her brother. oh, boy!

7 & 8 months

little leighty is 8 months old already! or 9 months if you ask jonathan. "she was born in january- the first month. it's september, the ninth month, so she is 9 months." 

umm, no. i tried to tell him his math was wrong, but the debate ensues. 

photos have been a bit more tricky to take, since this little girl is quite the little mover. 

6 months

you've come a long way baby!

you are quite the little traveler- two trips to san francisco (1 by air, 1 by car), a road trip to san luis obispo, a visit to boston and an upcoming trip to houston.
you are also quite the little traveler in terms of moving on your own!
you rolled over early. 2 or 3 months i think. you can sit all by yourself- since about 4 months.
you can not only crawl, but you can climb and will plow over any obstacle in your path.

you love to go over to the fireplace and pull yourself up to stand and try to "walk" along side it. you have even bumped you head a few times on the brick, but still go right for it, determined to stand up and walk. after 2 weeks of crawling, are you ready to move on to walking?! calm down girlie! you are only 6 months old!

you have begun to eat solid food- loving avocado, carrots and banana. rice cereal? not so much, but i don't blame you on that one.

you LOVE your big brother, even though he sits on your head. and he loves you...even though he sits on your head;)

you are so fun and we love you lots and lots!!!

happy half birthday little leighty!!!

5 months

5 months already!

4 months

4 months already! she loves to suck her thumb and is rolling all over the place. she gets really frustrated because you can see she wants to move, just like ollie, we might have another early crawler/walker on our hands!

3 months

2 months

happy 2 month's birthday leighton!

happy one month birthday

she actually looks bigger at 1 week, but i know she is bigger now because she is getting too tall for the "newborn" clothes and fitting into some of her bigger sizes:)

one week

leighton & ollie- each at about 1 week
