Yesterday I was checking email for a couple of minutes while Leah slept on the couch, propped up on some pillows, nearby. I kept checking on her, and she was dozing away.
At one point, I looked over and saw this beautiful little face looking over at me. Granted, I was sitting in front of a lamp that seems particularly intriguing to infants, but she was looking at me.
I did what came naturally, and started talking to her. We talk to her a lot, naturally, but we don't usually get much response from her. She turns toward Scott's voice when he gets home from work at night, but I think she is so used to my presence that she doesn't usually respond at all when I talk to her. Yesterday, though, she reacted. Yesterday, she smiled at me. Yesterday, she showed a glimmer of recognition that I am Mommy and that she actually likes me. Yesterday, we turned a very exciting corner.

I LOVE all the Leah posts, by the way. I think I would be upset if I came up in here and discovered a post that did not have her picture ;-)
How very, very exciting!!
She is so beautiful Jess!!
And our house will be in Kingston subdivision, kinda near the Y.
Leah is a very wonderful subject for a blog post. Keep them coming. Also, this will be a great keepsake to remember all these little moments with your precious girl. Thank you for sharing.
I just want to come down and kiss her and rub her little head!!! There's no WAY that I'm getting in the car for that long though :-( I'd lose every meal.
ha ha! I WOULD'VE used his deodorant if I weren't terrified of smelling it all day and then throwing up all day because of the smell! I just haven't worn any and since it's been so cold it hasn't really mattered. Weird since it normally does, but I haven't sweat at all! Maybe that's ONE good thing that's happening due to pregnancy. Gosh, I'm just so sick still! I'm waiting for this to get fun and it just won't. I just want this baby out of me! I always wanted to be pregnant and now I look at women who aren't pregnant and I'm jealous that they get to feel normal all the time. I seriously think I'm adopting from here on out. This is so miserable!!!
Guess what? It's time for a Leah update! I've been waiting patiently :-D
Awwww. Precious! She is absolutely beautiful, flawless. I love the Leah posts! She is your life and everything you post is great. Love it!
