That's right, Leah has 8 teeth. But fortunately she is not a biter while nursing. She has been known to nip me on the shoulder once or twice to get my attention while I was holding her though. Her hair is starting to curl, to mom's delight, so I like to put a little gel in the top and curl it up. She has the prettiest blue eyes and is sooo expressive. She babbles Dadda and Mom and EeeAah (Leah) but doesn't always put them with the right people. Leah is growing and growing - 28 1/4 inches and 15 lbs 10 oz. She continues to be tall and thin for her age but then she fits right in with her siblings.
Leah is really beginning to explore the wonders of feeding herself. I find it adorable how she can be so dainty to pick up one little bite of food off her tray one minute and then next be stuffing her mouth with a handful of noodles. Her favorite foods are noodles, bits of cheese, bananas and peas. Kris likes to sneak her little bits of brownie which she loves as well. She is also quite fond of apple juice in her bottle.
Leah refuses to crawl but has instead perfected the butt scoot. She gets both legs moving like a lobster and then uses her hands to pull herself around. She is really fast on the hardwood floors but maneuvers well on carpet also. As you can see she enjoys emptying out the entertainment center as well as the bookshelf, magazine rack, bakers rack, and cupboard in the bathroom. She is fascinated by the world around her and loves new experiences like being outside, singing songs, reading books or tearing apart any new thing.

She is such a doll! Maybe you could try to post a video of the "bum scoot"? I'd love to see it! Or maybe we'll just have to get together sometime so I can see it in person. She really is so cute-you guys do good work!
