Leighton

Leighton is 9 months old now!

She is busier than ever. She loves: crawling, climbing, eating, chasing Tiffany, cuddling, bathtime, binkis, throwing things, playing with Kaden, seeing her grandma and grandpas, sleeping in the car, and saying her new words- Mama, Dada, Baba and sometimes even Maymay.

Leighton is tall and feisty and living up to being a red head. She makes our hearts melt ever day with all of the sweet and silly things she does.

Leighton is the busiest little almost 6 month old around. Her new tricks consist of eating solids and not only crawling but getting into everything with it. She is so silly and always happy. I honestly think that we have been blessed with the most perfect tempered baby there is. Leighton is constantly smiling and talking gibberish. She laughs a lot too, especially when she is playing with Tiffany. I have a feeling they are on their way to becoming best friends.

Milestones

Leighton laughed for the first time yesterday. It was the most beautiful noise i have heard her make so far. She has been smiling for a long time now and making lots and lots of fun noises but when she laughed i almost cried. I was ecstatic. There is nothing more amazing than how happy one little girl can be.

Leighton is always busy. She fights going to sleep so much because she doesn't want to miss out on anything. Leighton is exactly 11 weeks and 5 days old. She started completly sleeping through the night around 7 weeks. She now sleeps 12 hours a night will about 4 short naps during the day or 2 short naps and one long one.

Leighton would get up and run if her body would let her. When she lays on her back she tries so hard to pull her self up it is so funny to watch. She really resembles a turtle stuck on their back.

Leighton already loves to put anything and everything in her mouth. I laugh because she loves her binkys and i use to too. At church two weeks ago, it was fast Sunday, i was debating about going up and when i looked down at her to see if she would behave if i took her with me she pulled her binky out of her mouth and tried to put it back in. I was in such awe i completely forgot about going up. I sat there and stared in amazement the rest of the meeting. She has now mastered this neat little trick.

Leighton started holding her bottle on her own last week. Once again i was in total shock when i first saw her do it. I stopped our walk and took pictures until she let go.

Leighton isn't quite rolling over yet. She is working on it though and i know it will be soon.

Leighton loves the water! She smiles and kicks and splashes during her baths in the morning and i sing Little fish and I had a little turtle to her.

Leighton loves to be cuddled, sung to, and rocked to sleep. Our nightly routine consists of getting pajamas on. Finding a binky, wrapping up in a blanket, turning on the starry turtle, turning off the lights, rocking in the same rocking chair i used to be rocked in, and singing three songs. The only three songs i have completely memorized. Child's Prayer, I am a Child of God, and Little Indian Maid.
