Roar! Roar!!

Leela, I can't believe you are already 10 1/2 months old! You are growing up so fast. It feels like it was just yesterday you were born. I cannot even describe how much joy you bring to my heart. I do not want to forget this precious time, so I'm going to start logging all of your precious moments here.

You have been working hard on standing up on your own. I see the concentration in your eyes as you tell the little muscles in your legs to hold you up. You can stand up quite well now, and when you do, I watch you like a hawk because I don't want to miss that first step! Today, I was going through with you all the sounds that different animals make. Your favorite is the horse. You laugh every time I neigh. It is so cute. The highlight today was when you copied my lion's roar. You cracked me up!!! I roared twice, but half-way through my second roar I began to yawn (yes, mommy is quite tired these days!), and you copied both my roars and my yawn!! I wish I had it on video. You are so smart and observant, and you pick up on things so quickly. You amaze me every day!!

I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
