This week we went to the circus in Rexburg! I didn't take a lot of pictures of the acts, but I did get some of Melissa riding the elephant with her girls (and I totally forgot to give you the CD Melissa, I will give it to you next time I see you!) and a few of all of us there! I love spending time with my family and Leighton loves to play with her cousins! I am going to have a lot of catching up to do after this semester, but here are a few things Leighton does/likes right now:
1. She just turned 1 and we had an 'Alice in Wonderland' party with Jack's parents, a few friends, and my Mom, Brandon, Jenny, and Hunter were even able to come!
2. She loves to talk! She just babbles away and we just laugh and laugh because she "knows" exactly what she is telling us! She says 'please' a lot now, as well as 'baby,' 'mama,' 'dada,' 'oooooh!,' 'bella' (her cousin), 'ten' (when we count), and occasionally she will say 'tank you' and 'elmo.'
3. She loves to brush her teeth and sleeps from 7pm-7am! She even points to her crib after reading and prayer at night.
4. She feeds herself a lot now, especially bananas! She's like a little monkey!
5. She is getting a lot better at being "soft" with babies and other kids and understands 'no-no.'
6. Her chronic ear infections are getting a lot better and she doesn't seem to pull at them much the past 2 weeks.
7. She is a total daddy's girl, I always joke with Jack that I have to be the favorite with baby#2.
8. She loves playing with blocks and counting and loves ANYTHING WITH MUSIC... just like Mom and Dad.
9. Her favorite thing to say is "baa-TAH" and laugh her bum off, but none of us can figure out what it means! She says it over and over, so we get a real kick out of it!
10. She has 8 teeth and is teething again and she hates to have a dirty diaper, so hopefully this will come in handy when potty-training time comes!
Well, here is one more picture that I thought was cute... she kept hitting her highchair and saying "baa-TAH"!
