Springtime

Just like the flowers at Lamberton Conservatory, I've sprouted into a little girl:


Our first vist to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party. I look skeptical. . .




Thanks Autie Suzie for my party duds:


Leila enjoyed two nights of Passover. She loves grape juice (white in this case so it does not stain) and macaroons.

March Madness

It's been a busy month and a half, with Shevah starting her job and Leila running around like a little crazy person, punctuated by bouts of ravenous eating. Here are the highlights:

Leila enjoyed making Hamantashen for the first time, though she is not to be left unaccompanied with a rolling pin. In addition to being a certified agent of destruction, Leila learned how to stack things back up for the first time at the Purim carnival:



Someone needs some fabric softener:






Upon further reflection:


Just like ducks, Leila likes rain:


Abbott's Frozen Custard has reopened:




Leila is saying a few words now. Most of them are animal sounds which we practiced today at the petting zoo where we saw sheep, goats and horses. We also went to one of her friends 2nd B-day parties and she had a blast. She was the last one out of the room after pizza time and loved the play kitchen. We are all happy to be done traveling (both parents had out of town conferences) and will post again soon.

Happy 2009!

It's been a busy year so far, with Leila busy running around like a maniac, learning to play basketball, working on simple words, and then running around like an even bigger maniac.

Avalanche or Roadblock?

For the TMBG fans out there, Leila is not a Snowball in hell, just a cute baby experiencing the lovely Rochester winter weather. Sledding proved to be fun, and prompted her parents to act ridiculous, as you can see:

Happy holidays!

It's been a while since our last update, and Leila's been very busy. Here's a brief summary of her past month:

Buying garlic in action at the Wegman's in the Strong Children's museum. In Rochester, we are REALLY devoted to our local grocery store, and train kids young:



We had 15 people over for Thanksgiving. Leila particularly liked all the cranberry sauces.





Tryptophan!!!



Uncle David and Aunt Lauren!





Distributing rocks as presents at the Highland Park Conservatory:



Mommy and Daddy pretending to be adults for once at a Rochester Amerks game (amazingly, they won!):



Join us tomorrow for the continuation of a neverending series of many, many pictures of snow!
