Leah began walking independently this month! She takes several steps before grabbing onto furniture or sitting down. She is all over the place! She also loves to feed herself, and she is trying a lot of different finger foods. Leah Kate's new favorites are pieces of biscuits or bagel, peaches and mandarin oranges, and broccoli. She is beginning to use a fork and spoon to pick up food, but this often results in a huge mess!
Leah's vocabulary is also growing! It seems like she says a new word every few days! She now says "down, hair, home, ball, and go." I am thrilled that she finally asks for me by saying "mama" instead of calling me "dada!" Leah still weighs 23 pounds and is now 30 inches tall, and she has 8 teeth!
We had such a great time at Leah's 1st birthday party! We are so thankful for our family and friends that made it such a fun day. It was bittersweet because it was the last party we had at our house in Auburn before moving (more to come in another blog post). Leah did great and had fun eating her cake. She LOVED the attention from everyone! Here are some pictures from her special day!!
