I often see pictures of Leah's cousins while they are sleeping and think, "How do they do that?" Leah can be a light sleeper, and so it's almost unfathomable to click a camera in her room while she's trying to catch some Zzzz's. But, I was able to sneak these two photos while she was napping a few weeks ago. And no remarks on her lack of chubbiness, thank you. We feed her as much as we possibly can, but she just keeps getting longer instead of fatter. (As displayed by her 9 month appointment where she weighed in at 14lbs and 10 oz, and was 26.5" long-- 5th % for weight and 25% for height.)

She looks all sorts of long, doesn't she?

Poor kid has Daddy's rib cage...

And this picture's just cute... because she's got pigtails, of course!
