Little Miss Attitude

What can I say, I guess at one time or another we all get a little snippy and diva-like. This weekend was no exception for Leah. We went to the baptism of Jesse and Jenny's little boy, Zachary. During the church service Kim had to take her to the family room because she just wouldn't be quiet! I guess she wanted to sing along or something. Once the service was over, Grandpa Robran wanted to hold her (among others) and she wanted nothing to do with him. Scream, holler, scratch, crawl...anything to get back to Mommy. People were trying to hold her and interact with Leah the entire afternoon at Jesse's, and she finally warmed up to Great Aunt Becky and Cousin Aaron, but still, no Grandpa. However, she was also acting the same way towards her own father, going to him only as a last resort. We'll have to continue to expose her to pictures of Grandpa Robran throughout the week, and maybe, just maybe, he'll be surprised next weekend when she finally warms up to him!

As far as milestones go, she is increasing her speed while crawling, and she now has a total of 10 teeth, which includes 2 molars. She still has a fearlessness of heights, attempting to crawl off the edge of a bed or couch without a second thought. She feeds herself fairly well now, eating Gerber Puffs, pancakes, noodles, and even some ground beef with her fingers. She's on a steady course toward being weened off of Mommy, and the target is only morning and nightly feedings by the end of the month. Her love of books continues, and she has gotten to the point where she will turn the page during the story. When holding a book on her own, she seems to always hold the book right-side up.
