Hanging out with Grandpa at the Lamberton Conservatory (she quite literally talked for twenty minutes while we were there, apparently thinking she was our tour guide!)



Leila and Karina are friends! (for a few minutes at least)


Showing off her new bathrobe and slippers after a bath.


Leila is full of smiles

Further adventures in breakfast

Leila's breakfast experiences are getting much more adventurous as we speak. In today's installment, she goes bananas:



and then decides to take after dad and have a cup o' joe.

Weedend Update

Leila had a busy weekend.

Having Rice Cereal for the first time in her new high chair (This is a before picture so she is nice and clean)


Celebrating Grandma Gail's Birthday.


Meeting Grandpa Lou and Grandma Elaine for Lunch on a cold, blustery day.


and flying with Dad

Universal suffrage?

As can be seen in the picture below, Leila committed her first felony today. After Shevah and I went to vote (or, if you will, Leila's Obama-daddy and Obama-mama), our daughter went up to the election officials, claimed in her own babble-riffic way to be "Amanda Hugenkiss", chewed on their pen in lieu of a signature, and committed her first act of voter fraud in today's New York State primary. Unfortunately, she doesn't read yet, and as best we can figure she voted for Ron Paul. It's hard to believe that she'll be walking by election day...

Dad's team is a winner!

Leila is happy that the Giants won the Super Bowl. She watched her first Super Bowl with some of her dad's coworkers.



Here she is chilin' with Anapole R. Bear. (Josh came up with the name; I'm sure Xander had a different one when it was his)




Leila's favorite game is playing with her toes. (Thanks for the toe rattles Uncle Ben and Aunt Keira)
