• Leilani likes to think she's a big girl! She's becoming more and more independent each day.

• She knows what to do with a rag, she will try to wipe of the kitchen table clean.
• She loves bath time until you try to clean her than she tries to jump ship.
• She loves to munch on slices of bread, which is funny because her older sister hates bread and still refuses to eat it.
• She's still a big time Daddy's girl. As soon as daddy comes home from work, she goes crazy. If he doesn't pick her up, right away. She will throw a big old fit. She can't get enough of him.

• She's left handed. She's always eating with her left hand which daddy isn't happy about but it's not like I can force her to use her other hand. So, Landon and Leilani are both left handed unless she decides to start using her other hand.
• She's sleeping thru the night in her crib but she sometimes ends up in our bed at night.
• She's nolonger on the bottle. She's taking a sippy cup. She's eating like a champ. She loves my Creamy Chicken Rice Soup. She couldn't get enough of it. She lives scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. She's a big time potato chip lover.

• When a show is over on the tv, she will bring me the controller.
