16 Months Old

Here we are again... another month has flown by!!  Leighton turned 16 months old last week, and she is getting bigger by the minute.  This past month she cut her first molar (Lyn noticed it had come through when they were playing one day).... and three more quickly followed.  Now she has a total of twelve teeth, so we're cooking filet mignons over here!!  She also started babbling a ton in the last week or so.  It is really cute to listen to her... I just wish so badly that I knew what she was trying to say!!

Leighton has also gotten really comfortable in the water and loves to swim!!  I think I mentioned in an earlier post that we did a mommy and me swim class at the YMCA last month.  She made a lot of progress over the course of the class and she continues to make progress every time she is in the water.  If only I could get her to keep her mouth closed and NOT to drink the pool (or bath) water.  She has also been doing really well with her sleep these days (likely due in part to the aforementioned swimming), so I am enjoying that ;)  Most days, she takes a 2 hour nap and she wakes up around 7:30 in the mornings!!

One thing I am not a big fan of is her spitting her food out.  She has gotten a little picky over the last couple of weeks and recently she decided if she didn't want something, she was just gonna spit it out.  I told my mom what she was doing, and she just laughed and said she thought it was cute.  While I don't agree with that, I understand that all kids do it, and I'm afraid if I make a big deal out of it, it will only make it worse.  So, I'm struggling a little bit with this one.  However, she's still cute... so I hope you enjoy some of her 16 month old cuteness!!

She looks so big to me in these...

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Weekend Recap X 2

I know this is a little late, but I wanted to share pictures from our nice, long Memorial Day weekend.  Lyn had Friday and Monday off, so we headed down to Port O' Connor Thursday night!  Leighton is at the age where she can start to enjoy all of the fun things that POC brings, so we are really looking forward to many fun weekends down there this summer. 

 Some family friends gave Leighton a house that their kids had outgrown, and she could have played in it all weekend long if we would have let her.

She also went on her first ride in the bay boat and wore a big girl "boat jacket" without fussing!!

We also enjoyed a long day on the beach with the family.  Leighton had a great time playing in the sand with Camden and splashing in the water with Granny!

 

 

This past weekend we headed to San Antonio to visit our friends, David and Tiffany.  Their son, Colin is 3 1/2 years old and he played so well with Leighton.  They had a blast!!

 

Could they be any cuter??

We would totally approve if they wanted to get married :)

 

This was sister girl at lunch on Sunday... fast asleep in a VERY loud restaurant!

 Next time we visit the Seales, they will be a family of four!!  Baby Carson will be here at the end of the month.  We can't wait to meet him!!
