Leah!

Yay! So I finally got to meet my niece, Leah. I had this secret fear that she wouldn't like me at all, but we got along just fine. I held her a lot while her mom ate. It was a novelty for Nikki to eat hot food, I think :) Anyway, here are some pictures. I was lucky in that I was able to schedule work around the visit, so I was with them for a whole week! These are in no particular order.

Mom with Izzie - they're kind of in the same position, right?

We put the baby bath down and guess who jumped in?!

Leah really liked her Uncle Ralph! They had a ball - I'll post some videos if I can.

And here she is with Aunt Diane

Random picture of me and Izzie. I lost all my pictures of her, so I had Nikki take some new ones.

I'm framing this one and putting on my desk at work. She's wearing a white dress that her Great-Grandma Shackelford bought her, and that's who's holding her. I just love her in headbands!

Great Grandma and her Granddaughter and Great-granddaughter.

Adore this picture. She's saying - Nana, I am not a doll that you can dress up - now get me out of this ridiculous bonnet!

Izzie was incredibly fond of Leah (really Brendan's) playmat. Thanks Jen! We'll clean the cat hair off before we give it back!
