A bit ago Leo started to move away from things as he was holding on…not yet successful walking but he was giving it a go. Then in a matter of days he started controlled footsteps. NOW he is at the point he would rather walk then crawl! He kind of looks like a gingerbread man. It is amazing how quickly these little guys pick up on new skills…

Leo LOVES to love. I believe he smothers his face into you because he is giving kisses. The other night I introduced him to baby pink sparkles…

Aunt Sarah & Uncle Brendan got married last weekend!!! It was such a wonderful weekend of celebrating and seeing family

Last week we had our 20 week sonogram (where we would have found out the gender). baby pink Sparkles is happy, healthy, and growing! And looks like she has Mommy’s long legs

a little sleepy BUT Captain Leo is excited to be a big brother!

he crawls, he walls, he stands on his own….walking any day now?!

Easter and holidays have a whole new meaning and loveliness with Leo

Easter morning

Leo is still getting the hang of eating real food. We have pretty much given up on baby food purees…he likes to feed himself. and he has learned to do this really strange thing while eating…

strawberry disaster

pasta mess

Leo’s typical sleep style

what a dude!

Well Leo has almost been outside of my tummy longer than he was inside…strange to think of it that way. And everyday that goes by I grow more attached to him…what’s it going to be like when he has to go to college?! GEEZ. The milestones are going fast…we hit crawling, dancing, pulling to standing, 1st tooth….

and we are on the go….

My name is Leo, I like to dance!

Leo is a morning person, just like Mommy. After this day, we lowered the crib mattress and the mad safety-proofing has begun.

Leo dressed up and excited for Nana’s visit!
