Happy Birthday to my Leah May!!!

What a privilege it is to have a small part in an amazing life!!

Here's Leah's big brother giving her help with her candles!!???

This is the birthday party crew. They're ice skating and having gobbs of fun. This little party takes about an hour to drive to so most of the fun is in the car on the way there and home too.

Lunch at Sonic's after two and a half hours of skating.

Now a little stroll down memory lane.

Leah's "candy-begging" costume. She did it all herself, wig, eyelashes, wings and all.

Jacob visiting Leah at PE.

Sitting on the front porch of Grandma's beautiful home in Odessa, TX.

Her favorite chickens. We had to get rid of them and she was so sad.

Sitting pretty in the window at our old house in Las Vegas.

Swimming with Sissy in Uncle Mark and Aunt Debbie's pool.

Playing with all of Sissy's stuffed animals.

Playing in the water after the rain.

This is absolutely the funniest thing Leah did.

I had thrown away all of her bottles, rings, and nipples since she was old enough to drink from a cup "like a big girl". I had finished cleaning the kitchen and was in the living room and out of sight. Leah must have walked by the garbage can and saw all those precious bottles in there. She was just tall enough to see over the top. By the time I had made my way back to the kitchen she was having a ball with all those lost treasures. She tried to pick them all up at the same time, putting all the nipples in her mouth that she could.

My very self confident toddler :)
