My 1st Swim

Leighton LOVES bathtime, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when she loved the swiming pool. She stayed in at least 30 minutes without a single disgruntled peep. Just laughs and smiles and coos of excitement!! What a fun day at Grandma's house!

7 months

Cousin + Play Date = FUN!!

Top 5 things Leighton loves about playing with Taylor:

5. Taylor has a beautiful backyard with lots of shade
4. Taylor has really cool toys - and she SHARES
3. Taylor's 'really cool toys' TASTE great
2. Taylor makes me laugh
1. Taylor is my "big-girl" role model

P.S. This is basically how we spent Father's Day, too (playing with Taylor) - just after Mommy and Leighton made Daddy breakfast in bed! Ok, Leighton just played in her high-chair throwing ingredients off the side - definitely 6.5 months old - so much fun!!

Chew, chew, chew

Everything in the mouth...2 teeth thru, 4 on top to go...


She doesn't seem to notice...but won't that smile look cute with teeth?


Sitting up - all by myself!

Squealing...experimenting with sounds

Sucking my lip on my new teeth!

Rump-Shaker

I think every parent has a "booty" pose...those little cheeks are so cute!! Now, little Leighton has joined the group of "booty-posed babies" - sorry, little girl!

Grammie Botkin takes each grandchild to get photos every month for the first 12 months of their lives. Leighton's picture schedule is a little off because the 4 month pictures were awful -and I lost motivation to go again - and then with Daddy and his bum leg...time just flew by. So, here we go again. All of the photos feature a bare baby with some sort of accessory (hat, flower, necklace...etc). Here is a couple poses from the 6 month session: she was in such a great mood!!
