It snowed here on Saturday, and in Virginia that means no one goes anywhere. So we stayed inside, and Leah and her Dad played with this most of the day.

Getting to Know Leah
Each day Leah shares a little more of herself with us.
Here are some things we enjoy about her:
- She scrunches her nose up when she smiles really big
- She LOVES dogs, even large barking ones
- She says "choo, choo" when she hears the train whistle
- She talks excitedly to Daddy or "Di-DAA, DA-DAAA, or Dad" as she calls him when we pick him up from the train
- Staring out the window
- Pointing at the moon
- She loves kids of all ages, and she gets very excited anytime she sees one
- She scowls when she can't figure something out, something confuses her, or she's upset
- She is incredibly patient and determined (she spent 20 minutes trying to open a Ziploc bag until she figured it out)
- She will do things when she is ready. For example, even after numerous attempts to "help" her crawl, she just wasn't interested. Then two weeks after her first birthday she just started crawling down the hall when no one was watching

Busy Girl
It seems like overnight Leah has started to do toddler things...
She climbs the stairs (supervised, of course)
She also likes to...
Eat tons of Mac & Cheese
Look out her bedroom window
Sit on the bottom step and stand up and sit down again
Pull all of her toys out of her toy bin
Cruise around the furniture
Stand up, while she pulls on anything she can to get steady, my hair included
Do the splits when she is trying to sit back down after standing
Talk to all the kids during church
Stay up and play in the afternoon instead of taking a second nap
Open and close cupboards and laugh as she takes stuff out

Birthday Girl
We had a little party to celebrate.
Her friends, cousins, and Grandma and Grandpa Stathis all came.
We had fun playing games, opening presents, and eating cake.
Leah loved the frosting.
The last year has gone by so quickly, a little too quickly at times. We really have enjoyed every minute of getting to know this sweet little girl.

Girls Trip to NYC
Lisa bought me a ticket to see the Rockettes for Christmas. David stayed home to watch the babe, while Lisa and I caught the early BoltBus for NYC.
Once in New York we enjoyed some Kati Rolls before the show. The Chicken Roll is much better than the Aloo Masala Roll, plus its easier to order. Both were spicy and delicous.
We managed to stay warm despite the low tempatures and wind.
Those Rockettes can sure kick!
After the show we saw the Christmas tree and window displays before catching the late bus back to D.C.
It was so much fun. David had a good time with Leah, and he even painted our bathroom with his Dad while I was gone. What a great start to 2010.
