My Best Friend

We have been busy, busy, busy! Our mommy and me group is really taking off keeping us quite busy during the week. We have made all kinds of new friends, and best of all Leisa has found her best friend as well as I have. We spend a lot of time with our new friends Jenny and Piper. Piper and Leisa seem to get along excellent, Leisa trying to play the big sister, and Jenny and I feel like we have known each other forever. We are so much alike it is almost scary. We love watching the girls play together; they can be quite amusing at times. They always seem to want to play with the same thing and sometimes we end up having to take it away from the both of them. As you can see, we are still working on the sharing thing. Leisa loves to go to Piper’s house and play with all of her toys; it is like a whole new world for her. She is also teaching Piper all of her tricks, like how to do raspberries. And along the way she is learning new things herself. She has learned how to clap hands, and peek-a-boo has become her favorite game. She would play all day of she could, even with strangers. I will say she takes after her daddy in the sense that she loves being center of attention. She loves talking to people wherever we go and she is always showing off all her little tricks. I think she just likes everyone telling her how cute she is. Can we say DRAMA QUEEN!

Without a tooth in site, she has managed to move onto eating big girl food. She has become a pro at gumming anything you give her. Who needs teeth anyway when you’ve got gums of steel? She wants to feed herself, but hasn’t quite figured out the spoon thing yet. We are working on it. For now we give her finger foods and anything that isn’t too messy. Mommy doesn’t need anymore of a mess to clean up. There is plenty of that to go around. As for getting around, she is getting very close to walking. She can stand very well on her own and sit herself down, but she is still scared to try to walk without holding onto anything. We are not rushing her, she keeps us busy enough. I can’t forget to mention Snugly Bear. This is her tiny blanket with the bear attached that she can’t go to sleep without. She loves to rub him all over her face and kick her little feet. We can’t leave home without him (or Leisa).
