And your pictures!

I'm sure you didn't think I'd put up a post and not put up any pictures!

Here's some shots from the past week or so:

From Thursday, when Dakota had to come to work with me.  Her schedule was all kinds of off, but I actually got some work done.  And she only ate one of my client's documents - not too bad, really.

What also happens when your baby comes to work with you - asleep in the baby carrier while Mama types away.

Siblings after bath on Thursday.  :)

My EIGHT month old.
I had the day off Friday and I was supposed to take the day for myself.  But since Dakota couldn't go to daycare (or so I thought), it turned out to be a Mama and Dakota day.  It was okay, but I was really wishing for some me-time.
And then again, she IS really sweet.

Another EIGHT month old shot.  EIGHT months.  So crazy. We're not all that far from one year.  And yet we are also SO far away from one year.  

Valentine's morning!  

Sibling love on Valentine's Day.  Funny enough, it seems Dakota actually understands, to an extent.  I tell her "gentle," or "don't pull," and she actually stops what she is doing.  Maybe because she hears my voice, but I'd like to believe it's also because she sort of understands things.  Clearly my baby is a genius.

My funny valentine.

Jayden got a "Broncos Miller" t-shirt for Valentine's Day.  He's worn it twice this week.  He loves it.  This picture and the next one were taken Monday night when Carmen went to the Grammy's with Von and Von wanted to see a picture.  I told Jayden to be "crazy" for the picture, and I got this face and the next face.  

This is one of my favorite pictures.  I just love his face, his body, everything about it.
Also, when Von saw it, he said "thank goodness Jayden looks like Leigh."  Of course he was teasing Carmen, but I'm not so sure I want him to think these pictures look like me!

And this little girl is starting to be able to feed herself.  She can get chunks to her mouth - things like steamed apples, banana chunks, puffs, etc.  Sometimes she can get it to her mouth but not in her mouth (like her fingers get it up to her mouth but then they won't let go of the item to get it into her mouth), and other times she actually gets it in her mouth.  And she can hold her sippy cup up and drink from it.  It's pretty amazing.
One of her teachers at daycare said some of her big kids don't eat her finger food as well as Dakota does.  So proud of my little eater!  

I hope everyone had a good long weekend (except for you retired folk who didn't even realize Monday was a holiday until you tried to go to the bank and it was closed!) and that everyone is having a good week so far.  Two more days and we're back to the weekend!
