A video of Leora from this morning- 10 months

(Dont mind my super squeaky voice. We just woke up and notice she already has all of her toys out. She can walk better, but her jammies are getting too small)

While Leora and I were watching the video after I uploaded it she said "dog" when I said 'Say dog' in the video and 'baa-baa' when I said it. Silly girl!

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hope everyone is Happy and Healthy!!

Leora turned 9 months today! She is a kid now, she is pulling up and getting into EVERYTHING. She cruises the furniture and will let go of things and stand for a few seconds before she sits down and crawls on to something new. She is incredible. She loves her blocks and can put them in a cup. I can't believe how smart she is. She is kinda talking now, mostly "Mamama" and "Dadadada", but she will copy somethings she hears (hehe, I told her No-No and she looked at me and laughed and said "nah-nah").

She is about 18.5 lbs now and about 28 inches long. She is getting big so quick! We love her soo much. She likes to play with Pico and Mila, they are both pretty tolerating of her.

Bob-o and I are having a wonderful time being parents and can't imagine not having her. She amazes us everyday.

Here are a few new pics (I included last months pics too since I never posted them)

Sorry it posted the pictures big and cropped them funny, but you can click on them to see the whole picture)

Happy Halloween from the Hoffman's!

Leora is now 7 months and 1 week. She weighs 16lbs 13oz now. She is getting sooo big, now she can pull up to her feet and does so on everything (even things that move, oops).

Leora's 7 months old on Monday!!!

Leora is so incredible. We love being her parents. We all learn new things everyday. I don't know what I thought that being a parent would be like, but this is awesome!

Leora got her second tooth a couple days after her first, so she has her two bottom teeth now. She sits and plays. I love being able to put her on the floor and have her actually be able to entertain herself. She is such a happy girl now. Now that she is crawling she gets into everything. We have started baby proofing (anyone want to help?). She can open cabinets and pull up on our fire place. She is getting a nice collection of bumps on her head. Silly girl. We weren't very smart to put down laminate wood floor when we knew that we were having a baby, she tips over all the time.

WE LOVE LEORA!!

Daddy and Leora (she is going to be a dinosaur for Halloween). My mom also bought her a poodle costume and Karen (Bob-o's mom) bought her a Hot Pepper costume.

Here are a couple videos of our cutie playing.

My little girl is AMAZING!!!

Today has been an incredible day!! At 6 1/2 months old, Leora May got her first tooth!! Yesterday she was such a happy baby (haha, totally unlike her usual self). She was laughing and I noticed a huge inflamed bump on her lower right gums. Then this morning it was gone and her tooth is poking through! My baby has a tooth!

Then this afternoon, we bought Leora playmat thing for her to play on and SHE CRAWLED! She has been trying for a while but the mat just gave her something to go after. I love my princess sooo much! Haha, and here are a few more pictures.

(Haha, I think that she is too big for her bouncy chair now)

I took Leora on the swing when we were out walking. She liked it.

Our Baby Girl is 6 months old!

Leora May turned 6 months on the 20th of September. She is getting so big. At her 6 month dr. appt. she weighed 15lb 10.8 oz and was 26 1/2 inches long. She is now 25% for weight and 50% for height now. She was 25% for weight and height at her 4 month appt.

Leora is 5 months old!!!

Leora turned 5 months on the 20th!!! She weighs 14lbs 6oz now! We moved her crib into our room so she is now sleeping in her crib (we had her in a pack n' play by our bed). I miss her being right next to me, but she has alot more room in her crib. She is rolling everywhere now. If you put her on her tummy she immediately rolls to her back, if you put her on her back she rolls to her tummy. Silly girl! I think that she is trying to push up on her knees, she grabs the floor infront of her and pulls alot like she is trying to crawl. It is so amazing watching her learn new things!!!


Leora in her crib!

Hehe, silly pic!!

My pretty girl!

I love this picture, even though it is over exposed. :(

Leora loves her dolly. I had a very hard time taking her picture with her doll this month.

Leora in her dinosaur outfit Gretchen bought her last Halloween after I found out that I was pregnant. Gretchen calls her her Leorasaurs.
