Update

Leah went to the doctor today for her 15 month check up. She is growing!!! Sort of. She weighed in at 19 lbs and 11 oz, and was 29.5 inches tall. She has finally stepped up from the lowest line on the charts to being 10th percentile in weight and 25th percentile in height. Go Leah. :)

I like to call this video, "Daddy, look at what I learned while you were gone!" (Actually, she learned this in about 5 minutes right before I took the video.)

Leah likes to talk on the "phone". And by phone, I mean her hand. Apparently, she's seen me do it way too many times (oops!), and the other day she even had a phone conversation with Heidi. It went a little something like this-- Hu-woh? arf arf arf! Heidi arf arf arf!

Though I wasn't able to capture that conversation on video, I did at least get the initial pick up and "Hu-woh?" of this one. So. stinkin'. Cute.

Jared is going hunting this week (somehow related to his "work" trip to San Antonio), and so he decided to practice using his bow and arrow in the yard. Perhaps he doesn't need to practice, seeing how at 35 yards, he did this:
For a little clarification as to what you're looking at, he shot one arrow directly into the back of another one. How's that for accuracy?

And here are some sweet photos of Leah and Rowdy hanging out before bedtime.

She must have thought that he looked pretty comfy laying on the ground like that, and decided to do the same.

Happy Halloweenie...

...from someone cute and teeny!!

We started off the day by wearing some Halloween-themed clothes. This photo happened purely by accident, even though it looks like I posed them this way.


I like this next one because Leah and Rowdy are making the same face.

We then went to the fall festival in Danbury, where Leah got to dress up in her Halloween costume-- Boo, from Monster's Inc! (For those of you that have seen the movie, I was going for the part of the movie where Boo is dressed as a monster.)

The hood didn't stay up very well and Leah kept pushing it off her head, so you can't really get the full effect from the photos.

Oh, and she never stopped moving either, so that made picture taking pretty difficult.

Maybe I'm biased, but I think our little Boo is cuter than the one from the movie (below).
