4 months old

... + 3 days. But what can you expect? I've been busy! And I still am, but that's another story. Leah is transforming in front of my eyes. Every time I pick her up in the morning, she seems like a new person with a slightly different skill set. She's like a snake, shedding her younger skin every few days.

Sigh.

She loves to talk, and is perfectly happy to talk + squeal at her butterfly mobile every morning while I stumble around, trying to get my balance after falling out of bed to do what... shower? Find some caffeine? Who knows. But Leah knows many things now, including how to charm her father, sit up in her funny new seat, work her fingers into rude gestures, and get perfect strangers to smile + act goofy. Such fabulous tricks.
