During the wedding, childcare was provided for children under the age of 3. So we dropped off an extremely tired child with strangers who seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed with the number of small children they were watching. Leah stared at us, a bit confused, as we left the room. She must've cried most of the time, as her eyes were quite red-rimmed and watery when we picked her up. This picture was taken after the wedding ceremony when we managed to eek a slight smile out of her.
The wedding was great, but our time at the reception was short-lived. It's tough to have fun when you have an extremely tired, cranky baby who is just out of her element. We did get some smiles out of her though and Leah proved that she can be quite the charmer when she wants to, as displayed by the video below where she's showing off her new "sweet girl" moves. Clap, tilt head to the side, and smile. It is SO. CUTE. And she knows it.
Once back in the hotel room, Leah got her second wind. I think she was just pleased to not have us holding her, trying to make her smile, etc. She spent plenty of time exploring the room and playing her new game: stand up, clap, fall down, laugh. Repeat.

How sweet is that video?? :o) It's also nice to see that Leah is fashionable with hair style -- cropped in the back, a little longer towards the face. She fits right in! :o) (k)
