Leah Kate: 10 month update

If I had to describe this month in one sentence, it would be "Baby on the move!" A few days after she turned nine months, Leah Kate began crawling! Of course it was for Jeremy's IPad! Since then she has been crawling and cruising EVERYWHERE!! I am constantly chasing her these days. She can pull up on furniture and cabinets. She now loves to open the kitchen cabinets and play with my pots and pans. Leah Kate's balance is improving a lot and she can stand for a few seconds when we let go of her. I wouldn't be surprised if she starts walking in the next few weeks! 

Leah's comprehension and communication is also expanding quickly! I love to see her understand something for the first time! She now says "wa-wa" when I say "bath" or she sees her cup. She will say "woof woof" and point to the back yard when I say our dogs name. This past weekend she got really good at saying "uh oh" when something falls down. She now thinks it is so fun to drop her bottle and say "uh oh".... I am waiting for the day that she looks right at me and says "ma ma". She will say it when she is babbling, but I am not giving her credit for it yet :) haha 

This month Leah started a Kindermusic Class for babies. They listen to music and play with different instruments. Of course she LOVES it! I really love to watch her interact with the other kids and enjoy the music. I am hoping she gets her dad's musical talent- not mine!! She always gets so excited when she sees other children and wants to play with them immediately. I am so thankful she is a happy, sweet little girl already! I pray for her to continue to have such a sweet, loving spirit as she grows up. One of my favorite things that she has started to do this month is giving hugs and kisses. She will just hug me for a few minutes when she wakes up which makes this mommy's heart so happy! Well, this seems longer than some of my other posts, but this month has been full of new developments!
