Picture of Great Grandma Looten with the girls. Isn't this sweet?

Hey everyone!!! I just wanted to stop by and add a couple pictures. These were taken at Elena's first birthday by Liz's sister, Jessica. Thank you so much Jessica for taking these. I love them!!!!!

Leila is growing like a weed. She is over 17 pounds now and hard to hold on to. She is always on the move. She never sits still. She isn't crawling yet but she has learned to scoot backwards. So, we can't leave her in the room alone anymore. She is also fascinated with faces. She loves to rub them but it soon turns into pinching. Haha. She is very lovey though... a big sweetheart!!!

Just another update. Luke, Leila, and I are taking family pictures on our one year wedding anniversary by the photographer that did our wedding. So, I'll post those as soon as I get them as well. I'm really excited to have some great pictures of all three of us.

So, as you all know I haven't updated the blog in months. I just don't have much time anymore. Leila has been growing a lot. She is around 17 pounds now. She's been trying to sit up on her own and she laughs all the time... mostly when mommy and daddy are acting silly. We are also on our third bathtub for her. We got one of the expensive ones to start out with but it really didn't have a good design. It was great for when she was a newborn but she wasn't able to sit up on her own in it and the hammock part of it, she was hanging over the sides. So, then I got another one... turns out that one didn't have enough butt room for her. So, she wiggled around in it a lot. Finally, I got another one at walmart. It turned out to be the cheapie one and it's our favorite, who would have thought? hehe. Leila is also talking ALL the time. We have been working with her to try to say her first word. So, far... no luck. She is also about to cut teeth soon. She is drooling all the time and biting on things.

Well, here are a couple pictures from the last couple of weeks. Sorry there's not very many. My camera needs to have the battery charged and I keep forgetting. Leila and I are headed to Columbia tomorrow for Elena's first birthday so I'll make sure to take lots of pictures.
