In the world of Leo:

1. Leo does not favor tomato or avocado yet...He will if he has any Walsh in him. His dad loves both!

2. He loves the game peek-a-boo Really he just loves to hear "where's Leo" He always laughs way before I get to say peek-a-boo!

3.Yogurt is one of his new found snacks and he loves strawberry-banana

4. He laughs and interacts with the animals all the time now!

5.He walks along the couches and bookshelves to get where he wants to go and he is still a speedy crawler!

6. He can clap when he gets excited and we are working on learning to wave.

7. He has two bottom teeth so far we are still waiting for those top ones.

8. Leo can feed himself small pieces of food He likes it better that way Mr. Independent

9. He has figured out the sippy cup and he becoming a champ at it!

Cargo Pants

We had lunch with one of my best friends and old roommate Blazey last week. It is so good seeing her! Since she moved to Colorado we only see her about 2 or 3 times a year now so it is always nice to spend time with such a good friend. Well at lunch her boyfriend Tyler made a good point why do baby's wear cargo pants? lol it's not like they need the pockets. Well it made me think Leo wears cargo's all the time! I love them because they make him look like such a little man. It was just a funny conversation I thought I would share.

Not wearing cargo pants that time

Leo's first Christmas was so busy I have been wondering how I would put it all on one blog! We had a wonderful time with family and it truly was such a nice relaxing holiday. Leo was able to meet some family that hadn't been able to come visit him yet. He was very impressed with all the attention, too bad he can't get that all the time! Christmas day we spent with my parents and Leo enjoyed opening all his gifts. He has changed so much this past month! He was pulling up on the gifts and ripping off bows very impressive for a 9 month old! Also since he has been cutting his teeth he has been trying all new sorts of food which I am sure he is thinking why haven't they given me this stuff before!?

Excuse me for no makeup

Leo just wanted his toys

The big hit this Christmas in the family was playing "Pass the Popcorn" if you are any type of movie lover you must go buy this game! Now I love movies but I have a terrible memory when it comes to titles and that is pretty much the entire game guessing the titles It was a fun game none the less and really made some good family memories!

It wasn't on purpose but Leo had a "where's Waldo" theme this Christmas. It seems like the baby clothing industry likes holiday clothes to be red and white striped and Leo was represented in Christmas clothing all week so every time people saw him we were told how much he looked like Waldo lol good times!

playing trains with Mr. Benjamin

Not the best picture haha but he has his stripes on!

Another big hit of the holiday season was telling everyone that Leo is going to be a BIG BROTHER we decided to wait to tell everyone at my family gathering with him wearing a onesie that just said "big brother" it took some people a few minutes but they eventually got it! We are very excited about baby #2 that will join us in August 2011!
