These are the days of our Lives!

Greetings to all,

Well we have had an interesting week, Leah is now 10 months old and seemingly has decided that she prefers to spit her food than eat it. We have had some eating issues lately as she is disinterested in her bottle and as of this weekend not interested in spoon feeding either. Lester and I are hoping it is a brief phase but are getting our lessons in patience. On a positive note Leah has also decided that walking is more fun than crawling and she is letting go of furniture and walking around the room with ease. She also has developed a love of music. Bill, Jamie, and the boys bought Leah a Veggie Tales Sing Along Songs and she loves it, she dances and waves her hands and it quite interesting to watch! Overall, it has been another great week and we prayed tonight for patience and understanding of how to handle this great new phase. As always we hope all of you have a blessed week!

What a great time!

What a great time we have been having in the Norvell home. First, last weekend Leah attended her first birthday party as our friends Brian and Lee's little girl, Lauren, celebrated her first birthday. It was great and we were really glad to be able to share that day with them. It did invoke some sadness to think that in a few short months that will be us. Where has the time gone? This weekend we were blessed with a visit from Aunt Jamie, Uncle Bill, Curtis and Josh. We all had a great time visiting and letting Leah have fun with her family. Lastly, we celebrated Lester's 35th birthday! We spent the day as a family, Les and I rode the Harley for a while and went to dinner with Leah. It was a great day! Lester is the best father and husband that anyone could ask for and Leah and I are so blessed to have him in our lives. His mother would be proud of the man he has become and the father that he is. Lester Sr. and Evonne did a great job of raising a man of character and I could not ask for more.

We hope all of you have a great week and I promise to post pictures again next time!

What a week!

What a week we have had, first we had a great visit from grandma and we had a wonderful time. Grandma and Leah got to spend time playing and building their life long connection. We also had our nine month check up this week and Leah now weighs 18 lb 2 oz and is 27 1/4 inches long. We are making progress! This weekend we also got to experience Leah's first steps. Lester and I were in the living room playing with her and away she went. By the end of the evening she was taking at least 5 steps at a time and loving her new independence! We are posting some new pictures and hopefully a video of the fun.
