Leah and her cousins went to Como Town last weekend! It was Leah’s first time there, and her first time on any sort of ride - she loved it and had a blast! After the rides we walked around the Como Zoo and she was so excited to see the animals too.

The kids were having so much fun!

4 of the 5 cousins - baby Katherine is a little too young to join them yet :)
This spring has brought such beautiful weather and Leah has really enjoyed spending time outside! Swimming, going on walks, and playing at the park :)
She’s gettin’ outta dodge!
We were feeding Leah some steamed broccoli last night, and Jeff was taking video. Leah sees him, and says, “Hi, Da Da!”
We were lucky to catch it :)
We are discovering more and more Leah’s love for animals :) When we’re reading her stories before bed, she gets very excited when she sees pictures of kittens, puppies, deer, and sometimes bears too. Puppies seem to be her favorite… even saying the word, “puppy” will get a big smile out of her! Good thing she can get her doggie fix in at daycare because I don’t think a four legged friend is in the near future for the Bye family (Sorry Jeff - someday!!) Anyway, her new favorite toy at daycare is the family dog, Sammy. Here is Leah playing with Sammy - Thanks for the pictures, Julie!
I’m amazed she even sat still long enough to play with Sammy!
She is fascinated by him.
Excuse me, Sammy, I’m trying to play with you!
At least she is gentle…
Most of the time :)
She does love him!
I suppose *SOMEDAY* we’ll have to get her a puppy to play with — and maybe a kitten too :)
It only took us about eight months, but we finally finished Leah’s room! I don’t think she was too concerned so it was alright that we took our time decorating it.
Since we didn’t know the gender before she was born we had the room painted green, and decided the theme of the room would be green and brown with elephants. I figured either pink or blue accents would easily fit right in to that color scheme.
Here is what we had to start with:
A decent size room just waiting to be decorated! So here it is…
Leah has a growth chart and it hangs on the wall just as you walk into her room.
Cube storage has become our new best friend!
Don’t worry those pictures above the crib are very, VERY secure - there is no way they are coming off the wall anytime soon! :)
I love all the cute little details.
All in all, I really like how it turned out! Leah couldn’t stop looking all around when we brought her in to see the finished product, so we think she likes it too :)
Here is our little cutie pie about to enjoy some grub :)
This little girl will not stop moving!
We’re a little late posting about it, but we have a new niece (and a new cousin for Leah)!! Katherine Yvonne, born January 19! Congrats to Jackie (Jeff’s sister) and Mikey on their newest family member! Her two older brothers are so proud and excited to have baby Katherine here!
