Found this movie from almost two months ago of a family after dinner walk. I love how chatty she gets at the end.

Enjoy!

Earlier today I wrote about Miss Leyba’s ever expanding vocabulary and then forgot to post the video I took of her saying “cheese!”

Cheese may be the only word she says on cue.

I love how she scrunches up her nose when she says it. So adorable.

And, yes, she’s wedged herself between the bed and the wall. (We’ve since closed the gap.) That’s our little climber. Always exploring and finding bizarre places to squeeze herself into.

Enjoy.

Miss Leyba found Goose at our local independent bookstore and carried her around with us the whole time we were shopping. A few days later when we went back with friends she did the same thing, but added Goose hugs and kisses into the mix, and it was half price, so we went for it and brought Goose home.

She loves Goose.

She gives her hugs and kisses and makes David and I do the same.

She carries her around the house.

She goes “honk honk.”

Meet Goose, plus witness a whole lot of gobblety-gook and deviant super-cute behavior:

I am hoping that Miss Leyba starts to cuddle with Goose instead of us at night… wait, what am I saying?! We love cuddling with our daughter. Get this stuffed animal out of our bedroom.

Just kidding, of course.

We think Goose is a wonderful friend for Miss Leyba.

And she hasn’t brought Goose into bed.

Yet.

On Saturday we took Miss Leyba to try her first ice cream.

(That was our cover story and we’re sticking to it!)

Initially she hated the experience of eating the ice cream, but loved the taste:

Check out that yucky face! We think she didn’t like the cold ice cream on her teeth.

Before we knew it she figured out how to LICK the ice cream instead of bite it and she was quickly all covered in chocolate:

We had so much fun eating ice cream together that we went back AGAIN today to have a little more.

We’re either the best parents ever or we totally suck.

Check out this video of a typical father daughter morning moment (in pajamas):

Sharing cards from Carrie on Vimeo.

Who knew that sharing cards could be so darn funny?

Why do you think she’s laughing? We can’t pinpoint it exactly for the life of us.

My favorite part of this movie is when she starts to give David a card, then pulls away out of his reach. Only then does she lean in to share, giggling hysterically.

They are constantly cracking each other up. Leyba laughter is so infectious.
