My First Christmas was fabulous! I spent the day with my Great Grandma & Papa, Grandma & Grandpa Cook, Grandma & Grandpa Brown, Uncle Christian & Aunt Thao. I am so happy I got to see everyone, it was so much fun. I was spoiled rotten, I wish everyday was Christmas.
4 Generations Leanes Ladies!
I know it has been way too long since my last post. I just wanted to drop a quick line and let everyone know all my progress. I like to talk. I practice all the time. I can say Mama, Dada, bye, Kitty and Hooray. I can wave, crawl and can pull myself up. Time to baby proof:) I have one of my top front teeth and working on my second. It is really hard for me to stay cheerful these days but my cuteness sure makes up for it. Once my teeth come it I will be back in the happy saddle again.
Happy Halloween everyone!! Yesterday was my first Halloween. I dressed up as a butterfly and had lots of fun looking cute. Grandma Judy came over and we gave out Halloween candy. I loved seeing all the kids dressed up in their costumes. My favorite was the cheese head. He got like 10 pieces of candy. 
Today we went apple picking at Stribling Orchard with TJ, Lauren, Lilla, and Colton. We saw all the animals and fed the ginormous pigs. I made Mom pick lots of apples so she can make me lots of yummy applesauce. We had a great day! I hope we can do it again next year.
Today we went down to the river for Oktoberfest at Aunt Millie's and Uncle Dick's. I hung out with my grandma, grandpa, cousins, aunts and uncles. I had a great time. It was a big Cook reunion. I can't wait for next year when I can eat Aunt Millie's potato salad.
Today I finally met my new friend Mason. I have been waiting 6 long months for him to arrive. Right now he is pretty sleepy, but I am sure that we are going to be great friends.
Today was my first swim class. I think I might be a natural swimmer. The instructor was amazed about how comfortable I am in the water. My strongest move is the back float.
Thursday Mommy got me ready for my first trip to the pool. I think one day me and the pool are going to become good friends, I am not to sure about the seahorse...
I am 6 months already, can you believe it? Just last week I nailed rolling over and I can say Ma-Ma. Go Me!! It's my birthday, well half birthday. That has to count for something:)
Last night I had my first meal. Rice cereal sure is good! I like it better when mommy plays airplane with it.
The river sure takes it out of a girl. It must be all that fresh air and fun. Here I am snoozing with all my animals.
On Tuesday I turned 3 months. 
This Saturday we watched Grandma receive her Masters Degree from George Mason University. We are so proud of her!!
