First letter

Dear Leah,

Today you are about 15 1/2 months. Still have such bright eyes that seem to shine when I catch your eyes. Today we were out in the morning. First I had some blood drawn. You were there with me on my lap. I tried to distract you with a juice box so that you wouldn't see the needle and scream. It was successful. After that we went to Barronesa (a park here in Pelotas) You love to climb up the slide and go down holding my hand, again and again. You like to chase after the "ball" that you are able to say. You also like to sit on in the dirt and pick up sand, dirt, rocks etc. You light up feeling the different textures in your hands. Almost like you think I don't see you being naughty :) We sat on a tree trunk and ate cookies and lemon gatorade. Then we went to the store (Krauss) to buy Dada pants for his birthday next week. You weren't interested in keeping still and just wanted to climb up the big stairs. We quickly bought the pants and went home. Once home Emi called to come play with Cae-Cae. You love to play with him and give eachother "huggie/kissy." You two play nicely. We went home and had lasagna and rice..you ate it up as always. Then we went to pick up Dada at the hospital. Later you napped from 1-3pm.

You are such a sweet little girl Leah. I love to come get you in your crib and the first thing you do is either point to the cd player for music or point to a toy. I pick you up and snuggle you close.
