I know everyone wants to see pictures, but I wanted to jot this all down before I forgot all of the updates. Here’s a list of Leah’s latest accomplishments (and there are many!):

• She got her 8th tooth this weekend. That’s right—I said 8th. She got her first tooth 8 weeks ago, so she’s averaging one new tooth per week. Unfortunately, they’ve been coming in in groups, so she’s had a rough couple of weeks! But she’s a trooper and pushing her way through it with only mild crankiness.
• She’s learned to go from crawling to sitting back to crawling again. Up until last week, she needed a hand down to prop herself up, but she’s got it down now.
• Last weekend she figured out how to pull herself up onto her knees. We’d walk into her room and see her little eyes peeking over the railing at us, and then…
• This weekend she learned to pull herself up onto her feet! So, naturally we dropped the crib mattress all the way down before the little goober could topple over the edge. Her mobile had to come down too, since she kept yanking it off and tangling up in it. What can I say, she’s very grabby.
• She entertains herself by crawling after the dogs. All. The. Time. Rowdy is awesome and pretty much lets her do whatever to him, and likes to roll over just in case her hand might happen to rub his belly during their interactions (belly rubs are Rowdy’s ultimate happiness). Heidi is a little less tolerant because she’s got those long beard and eyebrow hairs which Leah loves to grab. But, Heidi does like to let Leah “chase” her (it’s a slow moving game), and even gets out her stuffed stingray so she can make it a game of keep-away!

This little girl sure is growing up fast! More pictures coming soon!
