More Lia and Monkey

Lia chases after Monkey, Monkey chases after Lia!

Miss Personality

Nine and a half months here, and Lia is Miss Personality. She seems to have a real joy for life and is not afraid to interact with other people/babies, seems comfortable in new situations and environments and just seems to like to have fun! She 'talks' more and more and squeals (okay, screeches) with delight every time she sees Monkey. Now that she is mobile, when we're at the library or yoga classes, Lia just ditches me first thing to check out the other people and things around her. She does check in time to time which is cute. I'm happy that she seems so outgoing. Lia has started giving me kisses (her version of kisses anyway). She just opens her mouth and presses it to my face. So sweet! And she waves hi/bye sometimes. Standing up is the new thing these days. She pulls herself up on anything and everything she can. She has even started letting go where she will be standing by herself for a few seconds. She just seems so fearless and ready to take on the world. My little girl is growing up. In a few months she won't be considered a baby anymore but a toddler. Wow!

Hanging with the Girls

Well, the Lentz Family Invasion (as my sister put it) has come and gone. My Father, Linda, Michelle and my Aunt Sallie and Cousin Sara all came to visit for a couple of days. They came from both sides of the country, Pennsylvania and Washington state. It was so great to see everyone. I'm happy Lia got to spend time with her family. She really warmed up to everyone quickly and showed everyone her new skill of crawling. Thanks everyone for making the trip here. Miss you already.

Happy Days

Happy Easter and happy spring!
