3 years and 7 months

I love to stand

Leyton and Cy at Briley's

Checking out Mr. goat

Ryan and I celebrated our three year anniversary and Leyton turned 7 months on the same day.  We went out to dinner while mom kept Leyton and we were home by 8pm.  Very sad, but we were so tired. 

Leyton is trying so hard to walk.  She is constantly pulling herself up, standing, and then proceeds to let go.  She stands for a few seconds before falling on her rear end.  She thinks it is so funny.  I'm not sure what is worse, her constantly pulling up but unable to walk or walking.  We are constanly grabbing her so she doesn't smack her head on something.  She loves to pull up on our legs while we are in the kitchen and holds on to our pants with one hand.  Crazy girl. 

Leyton is soooooooooo happy.  She smiles all the time at everybody.  It is so sweet.  She melts our hearts with her sweetness.  You just want to squeeze her.  Peek-a-boo really cracks her up and so does Cooper.  She thinks he is so funny and goes after him every chance she gets.  We are constantly telling Cooper to run.  Poor fella.  She still loves her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  That is her morning TV time.  I think the only time she sits still is when we read to her.  She likes to help you turn the pages.

We haven't found a food that she doesn't like yet.  There are definitely some that she eats better than others, but she hasn't turned her nose up at anything yet.  She has recently tried dill pickle, grits, avocado, butter beans, broccoli soup, macaroni, baby cookies, baby yogurt, baby crunchies, and chicken mixed with sweet potatoes.  We try and give her a little taste of different foods that are safe for her to eat.  If she sees us eating it, she wants some. 

Sleep has been wonderful around here the past week.  I feel like a new person.  Leyton has been sleeping between 10-11 hours every night.  We are loving it and hoping this is a permanent habit.  There were a few nights of having to let her cry for a little while, but thankfully it wasn't for long and she settled back down and went to sleep. 

We are going on our first family vacation in a couple of weeks.  We will be Myrtle Beach bound! YAY!!!
