Making Morgan Memories: August 2015

Leah is at the most fun age!!! She is talking ALL of the time! From 6 am- 8 pm (except a of couple hours during her nap), she is either humming, singing, or talking non-stop. It is so neat how she can have a conversation with me now. Jeremy wasn't feeling well one morning, and Leah jumped in the bed and said "feel better, daddy" without any prompting. She says so many things that amaze me. All of the sudden she was able to sing whole verses to the songs we like to sing instead of just filling in a word or two. She has also started playing and taking care of her baby dolls. Her favorite is Baby Alice (that she named), and she likes to feed her, give her a paci, put her to bed, and push in her stroller.

Keeping a toddler busy in the heat of the summer has been interesting. I have had to get creative since playing outside hasn't been as much of an option. She loves swimming in our neighborhood pool, going to the splash pad, visiting "bear" at bass pro shop, and looking at the animals at Petco. It makes me a little worried that her favorite animal to look at is the snake... No pet snakes are in her future! However, her favorite place to go is "jumpy house"! This is an indoor play place with bouncy houses and slides. She is so brave and loves to climb up the huge slide with me. We are ready for fall so that we can play in our yard more often! I had so much fun watching Leah learn and play at the McWane Center in Birmingham a few weekends ago, and she had a BLAST at the beach with her buddies!
