I Whaley Love You!

Sorry for the long hiatus... I was in Alabama for almost 3 weeks visiting with family. And since I've been back, I've been lazy. Oh, and while in Alabama, our nice camera was stolen, so we haven't been taking as many pictures as before. :(

Leighton's 1st birthday is in just little over a week now. I can't believe it!!! Where has the time gone?! She seems more like a toddler to us now than a little baby. She's learning something new every few days and never ceases to amaze us. Her physical therapist just told us last week that she is exactly where she expects her to be, which is around a 10-11 month old. Not too bad for being almost 3 months early! Her favorite thing to do is stand up. The moment you put her down, she finds the ottoman, couch, exer-saucer, your leg, anything she can find to stand up. Her crawling is now perfected and she's doing it with such speed. When you walk and hold her hands, she'll walk with you. We're now working on her walking while only holding one hand. Based on what she's seen, her therapist says she'll probably be walking in a month! She's eating finger foods 3 times a day now, and slowing down off the bottle. We're still working on the sippy cup, but I'm sure she'll have that down in a few weeks at least.

She's experienced a few firsts lately. Here are some of the latest of Leighton:

This is the first time sitting in a shopping cart. We were at Publix in Montgomery on Zelda Rd. on 6/22/10.

Sitting in a restaurant highchair for the first time. We were at El Porton in Germantown, TN on 7/5/10.

Her Aunt Sissy and I were teaching her how to shop! We were at Target in Cordova, TN on 7/12/10.

She's showing off her new pajamas! She's outgrown the one piece sleepers now! 7/14/10

"I Whalely Love You!!!!"
