Thankful Thursday

Ever since I have gone back to work leaving Leila has been tough. Some days are better than others. But today instead of dwelling on the time we spend apart, I am thankful of the time we have together.

This morning was one spectacular moment. Leila was mimicking the kissing noise and made the cutest face. Her whole mouth turned inward to make the squeaking part of the smooch. I have tried to get a picture of it, but it comes and goes too fast. And makes my heart melt.

She has been a lot more talkative this last week and standing up by herself for 30-40 seconds at a time. She is so close to walking its not funny. I am tempted to take the next week off just to be there for the first steps! lol.

Today I picked up Leila around 7:45 and she was in the best mood. So happy and playful. We also had a great bath time while learning our letters and numbers. Its these moments that make life wonderful. If only there were more hours in the day to play!

Here is a picture of Leila standing at Mount Rushmore!! She is also exploring pine needles and dirt!! Looks like a future Scientist!! :)
