Sweetest Almost Laughs
For a little while now, Leila's been looking at me when I laugh almost like she's jealous. She tries to mimic me, but just can't seem to do it. When I tickle her, her eyes get wide and she fidgets and then usually coughs or something. I have been so amused with her not being able to laugh! But as you can see in this video, it's coming along. I'm sure she'll be giggling in no time. This was the first time she's responded to Peek-a-boo.

Leila "Talking"
This is probably just a boring baby video for most everyone except me, Brent and the Grandparents, but that's exactly who I've posted it for.
Leila is 2 months and 4 days. I don't remember exactly when she started "talking" and interacting like this, but I remember when I took the video I was glad that I finally got it on camera for Brent. She's even more interactive now. In fact, she LOVES to watch this video of herself. She gets really excited and smiles and talks to the baby on the screen:) It's so sweet!

Baby Announcements
So, after ordering a few baby announcement for Leila to send to some extended family, I started thinking about how we never did any for Zariah. We were poor as dirt college students and the only reason we got a pic as good as the one below is because one of my best friends is an amazing photographer and just felt like taking some pictures of us while we were visiting in her kitchen. So, I started messing around and decided to get an announcement for Zariah too. If we had done announcements for Zariah, what's shown below is what they would have looked like. This one will just go in her baby book.

Lovely Holiday
Wow, we had such a good Holiday. I can not tell you how much fun we had, it was like a party every single day! The only problem was it was far too short. Far, far too short. I feel so overwhelmingly blessed with such amazing family and friends who are just like family.
We stopped at the Grand Canyon last night, which was not a very good idea. When we got to the rim we were hit in the face with a wind that was so strong and icy that we could hardly look. Afterwards, we decided to stay in Tusayan right outside the park. We expected pricey hotels staying near a National Park like that, but $3.19 for a normally 50 cent cup of Yoplait Yogurt, $17 for a med 1-topping pizza at Pizza Hut, $3.59 for a gallon of gas when the average price elsewhere is $2.50. I've never seen price gouging like anywhere!
Funny enough about 20 minutes south of Tusayan we had the exact opposite experiance. We stopped at a quirky place called BedRock City to go to Fred's Diner this morning for breakfast. It was a very welcomed suprise. Ghetto though the place seemed at first, there was a roaring fire inside and lots of friendly locals. The food was decent (Denny's quality and portions) and half the price! Our breakfasts were an average of $3 each. Next time, we'll know where to go!
Were home now, settling in and discovering what we left behind, oops.

Food Exchange
I am excited for Thanksgiving. I am roasting my very first Turkey and making gravy and cranberry sauce from scratch.
I love experimenting in the Kitchen. I get bored so easily with making the same old menu items. I think experimenting with new foods is my way of introducing adventure and self-expression into everyday life.
I've been having fun lately with Middle Eastern Flavored Dishes. I am drawn to them particularly because they have so much flavor and nutrition.
Z is sick, so we won't be having our neighbors over for Thanksgiving like planned. Instead we are going to do a food exchange, making all the same dishes we divvied up in the first place and exchanging portions of them. Not ideal, but Z has a virus and they have a newborn so what do you do? This way we'll all still have a good meal.
I deleted all my sidebar info. Not purposefully, but I don't know anything about html and I either had to keep the last template (which I did not like) or erase my stuff. I suppose it's motivation to get a new blog. I've been thinking about that for ages, we'll see if it ever happens.
