Another "my girl is super cute" post :)

Okay, so I haven't posted any new pictures of Leah for a while, and there have been quite a few cute ones recently. Enjoy!


Comfortable #1 (note the legs)


Comfortable #2 (note the legs again)


"Leah, stay out of the Restricted Area..."


Shy face


And a whole bunch of cute hat pictures:

Leah's favorite song

We have a digital piano that Leah likes to play with once in a while. I'm sure she has figured out more of the features than I have! I was surprised once to hear her play back a recording of herself.

Anywho, Leah gets up on a chair and presses the button for the demo songs, then turns to me to tell me "it's coming". Demo Song #1, as it has hitherto been known, starts up and Leah dances and giggles and then stops it and restarts it again... and again. This might sound a little annoying, but Leah has very good taste in music, and even Matthew and I are big fans of Demo Song #1. I even attempted several internet searches for the real title, all unsuccessful. All I had to go on, after all, was the name of the piano and "demo songs", neither of which were any help.

Now, on Saturday, Matthew and I were watching figure skating on TV... slightly uncharacteristic of us, but still quite fun. My favorite by far was Sasha Cohen, not because of the skating, but because she skated to Demo Song #1! Finally, I had something to base my search on! Within five minutes, I found that Leah's favorite song is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, third movement. Go ahead, look it up :)

Too bad Leah was asleep during the skating!

It's a ... BOY!

We had our ultrasound today and got to see our next little baby! This is his cute little profile :)

It was so amazing to see a new life growing and moving inside of me! This was a very special experience for us. We brought Leah with us so she could be a part of it too, and she can already say "baby brother"!

Children's Museum

Yesterday the three of us took a trip to the Seattle Children's Museum (thanks again, Bryce and Kathy!)! We had a great time, but of course, only took pictures of Leah! Here are a couple fun ones:




On the way back home, we stopped by the temple and took a nice little walk. Whenever Leah sees a picture of a temple, she says, "Oh goodness!", so it was fun to take her here and listen to her say, "Seattle Temple, oh goodness!"

Merry Christmas!

A few weeks before Christmas, our ward had a Christmas party. We brought a pumpkin roll, and this was all that was left of it at the end. Let's just say it was a good start to a month full of delicious food :)


Here is Leah by the Christmas tree.


I redeemed myself in a Farkle rematch!


We had two Christmases--one with each family! At this one, Leah loved to wear the bows and ribbons. At the other one, she couldn't get enough of dropping piles of wrapping paper on people's heads, particularly hers and mine (not pictured, unfortunately!).


Matthew's side of the family has a traditional fish dinner on Christmas Eve every year. This year, we brought a contribution of homemade sushi. Mmm!


The night we were planning on driving back up to Seattle, this little storm hit. The roads were not cooperating, so we stayed an extra night at my parent's house. Too bad we showed up too late to help with these snowmen that my brother and mom made!
