Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy

Yesterday was Mommy and Daddy's 3rd Anniversary! Mommy made a yummy dinner for Daddy, and in a few weeks they are going to go away for the weekend.

This is what Daddy brought home for Mommy:

Isn't he sweet?

18 Month Check Up

Today I went to see the Dr. Its not a very fun place and I get a little anxious while I'm there. Even though they have lots of fun toys to play with, there is something about the place that makes me nervous. I held onto Mommy really tight the entire time I was there. She tried to make me lay on the table, but I wasn't having any of that. I know that they just want to poke at me when I'm laying down. So Dr May had to examine me in my mommy's arms.

She said that I'm doing just fine. I'm growing up to be a big girl!

Weight: 24lbs

Height: 32.5 inches

I had to get 2 shots today, and they were not fun. One of them was the Flu Shot. Mommy said that she really wanted me to have them so I'm not sick when my baby sister is born. So... I let them give me the shots. OUCH!

On the way home I ripped off my band-aids all by myself and that hurt just as much as the shot.

I've decided that I dont want to go back to the Dr's office again. Its no fun!

Mommy's Belly

Mommy is officially in her 3rd Trimester. Which means my baby sister is going to be here really soon. She is 29 weeks, which works out to be almost 7 months along.

Now time to compare.

This is 28 weeks pregnant with me

And this is 29 weeks pregnant with my sister.

She looks like she is carrying just about the same.

Then and Now

Remember seeing pictures of me in this "Bumbo" seat?

This is me at 5 months:

I still fit in it at 18 months!!!



These pictures were both taken in September. Look at how much I've grown - Especially my hair! (Please excuse the messy hair - Mommy didn't do my hair today.)

(Do you see my boo-boo's? I fell down outside.)

Bye Auntie Heather

I just wanted to send a special goodbye message to my Auntie Heather. Tomorrow she leaves for Africa where she will be a missionary for 2 weeks! This has always been a dream of hers, and now it is finally coming true. She is going with others from her church to Uganda where they will help plant a church. I am so proud of her and I know that this is going to be a life changing event for her. So please keep her and her team in your prayers!

I love you Auntie Heather!!!

This was back in March.... (Caroline and I both look a little silly)

3D Ultrasound of my sister

Today Mommy had a 3D Ultrasound done of my sister. This means they can actually see her facial features. Mommy thinks that we look alike! We'll see in just 3 months!

In this picture you can see her sucking on her fingers.

(same picture - but labeled)This is one of the only full face pictures that they got. She kept trying to suck on her fingers.

Finger Painting Fun!

Mommy let me finger paint! I had a lot of fun. She didn't get any pictures of me creating my artwork because I made her paint too! We were really messy!

I soon realized that it was much more fun to paint my body!
Clean up time! (My favorite part because it included water!)

Oh... and I learned how to turn the faucet on all by myself!

Just washing the chalk off - it looked dirty to me!

Auntie Lauren's Baby Shower

My Mommy's friend, Auntie Lauren is pregnant and due about a week before Mommy. They are both having girls and they love being pregnant together. Last weekend we went to her baby shower. It was so much fun!

I got to play with all of the balloons!

Me, Mommy and Auntie Lauren
Look at their tummies. They are both so different. Mommy is carrying really low, and Auntie Lauren is carrying really high.
There was a little boy named Luke that was there. He was fun to play with. A little rough, but we had a great time. I dont think he is used to playing with girls and didn't understand that we are a little more fragile. :)

Leah on Ellen - The Video

Mommy used the camera to record the clip when you can see her. Its really bad quality, but you can see her tummy and Ellen is dancing right next to her. She paused the video so you can get a good look.

The Ellen Show

Here is Mommy and Ellen. Do you see her purple tummy?? The picture is a little blurry. Mommy's friend took a picture of the TV and sent it to her.

They went to the filming yesterday and they had a blast. The guests were Allison Janey, Simon Baker and the PussyCat Dolls performed. Then, they had to tape a segment for another show in October, and the guest was Paris Hilton.

Watch The Ellen Show on Tuesday 9/23

Mommy and Grandma are going to be on The Ellen Show that airs on Tuesday. They are in the audience...so try to find them!

A Special Visit

My Grammy, Papa and cousin Caroline all drove down from Northern California to go to Disneyland. They stayed at our house for a few days. I had SOOO much fun playing with Caroline. She has a little brother who is my age, so she was very good with me. We played and played and played.

My Uncle Curtis stopped by too!

We played with sidewalk chalk in our matching dresses (Thanks to Caroline's Mommy - she made them for us! Aren't they cute?)
Mine is getting a little short.
We got to go swimming!

Me and Papa getting some snuggle time in.

Somehow my Grammy hid from the camera the entire weekend. I didn't get any pictures with her! :( Sorry Grammy! I'll get lots of pictures with you in October!

My Cousin went to Disneyland!

My Grammy, Papa and Cousin Caroline came to visit me this weekend. It was a special trip for Caroline because she turned 5 years old, and that means Papa and Grammy get to take her to Disneyland.

These pictures are a sneak preview for Caroline's Mommy.

L.A. County Fair

Today we went to the LA County Fair with some friends. They have a special program for kids where you can get in for free before general admission hours and they open up the petting zoo for you. I had SO much fun. Most of you know that I LOVE animals. I was not afraid of them at all.

Here I am looking at the pigs.

There were a TON of baby pigs running around. You can see them in the back of the picture.
This rooster almost bit my finger off. Good thing Grandma was there to pull me away in time.
I decided to take off with someones stroller.
Cows
Petting the goats

This is a good shot of Mommy's tummy - Its getting bigger! She can barely fit me on her hip anymore.


We went inside the petting zoo area. There were TONS of sheep and goats to pet. They just walked up to me and nibbled on my clothes and hands. They were very friendly. I just loved them.

Mommy and I were able to feed the sheep and goats too!
After a long day, I got the chance to finally relax. However, I couldn't figure out why this thing kept vibrating!!!

Here is a quick video of me playing with the goats

Silly Daddy

Daddy decided to try out my tent!

My new toys

My Mommy took me to Toys R Us this morning and this is what we got:

Playing with Friends

Yesterday Mommy and I went to a playdate with some girls that are my age. We had a lot of fun at the park! It was really hot, but I didn't care, I played my heart out.

I was sharing with Claire.
