Leslie is now 8 months old. Can you believe it?? Where did the time go? She is now sitting up pretty steady and trying to pull herself up to stand, but only on mommy's legs so far. She is also trying to get herself up from laying down to sitting up, but that is not quite accomplished yet. She is crawling all over the place and gets into things much more than I remember Lindsay doing. Maybe there is just more for her to get into because Lindsay's toys are certainly in the line of fire. Something that Lindsay has not gotten used to, having to share with the baby sister. Leslie has a hard time sitting still for any amount of time, it is often a struggle to change her diaper and get her dressed. Leslie's vocabulary consists of ba ba ba and ma ma ma and her favorite, da da da. She seems to be our serious girl but when she smiles, she lights up the room. She has been a pro at eating solids since we introduced them in January, but she is officially exclusively bottle fed now. We also believe that her hair is going to be on the red side. We get more comments about her red hair and If you see her in the outdoor light, you can definately see red highlights. All in all, it is a lot of fun having a baby around!!
Lindsay, now 2 years and almost 8 months is a typical little todler. She has developed quite an imagination. She often pretends to put on shows, to chase monsters (the seseme street kind), to be a doctor, to go grocery shopping, to cook (like her favorite, Rachel Ray) and to talk on the phone. She is a chatty girl too. She will talk your ear off and does so with mostly complete sentences. She still jabbers a little, mostly when she doesn't know what to say. She is still quite timid, probably always will be. But that is ok with me. Right now she is "reading" a book to Leslie, I will post a picture of it. She is a good sister and and although she can be aggressive with Leslie at times, she usually gives lots of hugs and is protective of her.
There's your update on the girls. Lance got home late last night safe and sound. We are very glad to have him back. We all missed him very much.

I definitely would have to say Leslie lights up the room when she smiles. It was so fun to sit on the floor with you guys and watch her bounce up and down with a big smile on her face. She made me giggle. :)
What cuties - I cannot believe Leslie is already 8 months - and to think we have only seen pictures - I hate being so far away. Thanks for sharing so we see them grow - I'm glad you are a family again - I know that has to be hard when you are apart. Great job Big Sister - reading your little sis a book - Love you guys. Aunt Chris
