Swinging in the Sunshine
Leila LOVES the swings at the park. Her Poppy says she can hang out in the swing for about thirty minutes!

Yoga anyone?
I've been doing yoga each Tuesday and it seems Leila is catching on!

Fan in Training
Being from Chicago means you have many sports teams to cheer for. Unfortunately, they all tend to be "maybe next year" teams.
Growing up I was never a baseball fan. I went to White Sox games because I got perfect attendance in elementary school, and free tickets were the reward. So I was kinda a fan of the Sox, but a big fan of going with my Grandma and Grandpa!
Will Leila be a Sox fan?

In my college years I was a Cubs fan. Cubs fans know how to have fun! The Cubs are a bunch of losers and the fans need to drink themselves silly to feel better about liking such losers. Yep, I like drinkers and drinking.
Will she be a crazy Cubs fan?
Now as an adult, living in San Diego, I am a Padres fan. (Why, why, why do I choose such shitty teams?!!?) For the first time I really like baseball. Petco Park is amazing and thanks to Jeff I can actually watch baseball on television not fall asleep. I think I can name a player or two also!
Will Leila stay true to her SoCal roots and love the Padres?


Leila will have to decide for herself. We'll love her no matter what team she chooses!

The Spa
Bath time (nicknamed "The Spa" by Aunt Val) is suppose to be a relaxing part of our nightly routine.
Can I consider it part of our nightly routine even if she doesn't get a bath each night?!?
But this little girl cannot even sit still long enough to take a bath.

I should probably NOT be celebrating the fact that I allow my daughter to stand up in the slippery bathtub. But I am.



Leila has been pulling up and cruising around on EVERYTHING these days. She loves standing up and is so proud when she does it all by herself.
The other day Jeff was concerned that she had be standing against the foot rest for too long. Too long? Imagine if you could only lay on your back or belly for seven and a half months. You'd want to stand all the time too!
