Leia Week 66: Finally the Rain Came! - 10/1/2014

With the big King Fire and all the thick smoke that's been blanketing all of Tahoe, it's been a tough couple weeks of being stuck inside.  All of us were going a little stir crazy, but especially Leia.  Finally the rain came, which was just what we needed to put out the fire, but it also continued to trap us a bit.  When it finally let up, Leia had her first experience with puddle jumping, and let me tell you, it sure was fun!  She officially turned 15 months old right at the beginning of this week, and we had a couple fun days of hot tub swimming.  Also, our previously great eater (pesto chicken with couscous, middle eastern spiced eggplant with polenta, curry chicken salad sandwiches, eggs with salsa, salsa straight from the jar, etc.), has been a little picky and fussy lately, much to our distress.  She only wants to drink milk, which, on the plus side, has gotten her to like whole milk more (as long as we mix in a little booby milk that is).  Finally, after a particularly bad night, we figured it out…another new tooth popped through!  That's 5 on the top, and still only 2 on the bottom.  Josh and I also learned how to say "Thank You" in sign language, only to realize that Leia has known it and been saying it to us for quite some time now!  She's so advanced!!

Looking stylie in her new fun fall clothes!

Mom, have you seen the rest of my hamburger?

Nice to snuggle up in a robe after a great dip in the hot tub!

Monkey in her arms and cats on her feet.

The only time she gets to watch the TV is when the steelers are on, and Josh has to tell her not to stand so close!

Mommy wrestling!

So jealous of that Downward Dog!

Leia's corner.

Little lunch break in the middle of a Reno wind storm…not very relaxing!

She's got her bag and she's outta here!

Uncle Josh finally gets a good little snuggle with Emmett.

Guess who's starting to smile!

Put your hands up and don't move!

Enough already with all the pictures!

Leia likes to push the stroller rather than ride in these days.

Puddle jumping with Linda and Grief!

Reading in bed!

One man band.

Soon she'll be good enough to put out a hat and make us some money!

Flying with Mom!
