Leo at Nine Months

Poor Leo has much less proof of his existence than Jade did by the time she was his age. I have been very inconsistent with journaling, blogging and documenting my thoughts, pictures and memories involving Leo. When Leo grows up and reads this, I hope he doesn't think a mothers love isn't equal between all of her children. I blame it on Jade and her ever expanding world of curiosity. Toddlers are time consuming, as they should be. So Leo, if you are reading this, blame your big sister :) Leo Alexander is nothing short of a dream boat blissful baby. His smile changes my mood into complete pride in the matter of an instant, that WE made that. HE is OURS! I think he even likes me a little, which makes me feel like the cool kid is paying attention to me and I don't deserve it. He is an amazing piece to our family puzzle. Our family needs him and is blessed by him daily in our home. He is NOT a perfect baby, but we think he is pretty dang close!

He was the perfect baby Jesus for the Missionaries nativity reenactment

Morning hair..

He has been working hard on his crawling..

I love his small dimples way far back on each cheek when he smiles real big

The more I take the time to consider our lives since Leo was born, the more my heart spills over with gratitude. We love you Leo Alexander!
