Leyla doing her first crayon drawing

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

This is kind of a long video, and it’s the weekend so I’m being lazy, so I didn’t bother to embed the video. You can check it out on the gallery, here.

Leyla Walking Around Bumping Into Things

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Leyla recently started putting things over her head and then walking around blind, bumping into things. We’re not sure why, but it’s kind of fun to watch.

Leyla’s First Drawing

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Leyla made this drawing using the Draw! program for Android on my phone. I selected the different colors and then let her draw for a while with each color, using her fingers. Drawing time ended when she tried to eat the phone.

Leyla Eating and Laughing

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Leyla has been laughing for months, and we’ve been trying to get it on camera, but every time the camera comes out, she clams up. Not last night. Last night, while we were feeding her, she did her best to make up for that. Click the image to get to the video.

I finally got a video of Leyla playing in the Jumperoo. Nomming of the plastic bug and other inedible things ensued. Click the image to watch the video.

Leyla’s First “Solid” Food

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Leyla has been acting very interested in our food lately, and after putting it off as long as we could, we finally decided to give her some rice cereal with her milk. Click the image below to watch the video — I haven’t been happy with how the videos show up when embedded in this blog.

Also, please let me know if you have any problems with the video. It was looking a little choppy to me. Perhaps I’m using too high-quality of a setting when encoding these in flash video format.

Leyla Attacks Smoochy

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Leyla spontaneously started attacking her plush frog Smoochy the other day. We think it may be related to teething. We did not know she was going to do this when we turned on the camera. We just turned it on because she was being cute.

Leyla posing with Fortune

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Leyla picked up her bear (Fortune) today and pretty much posed. Of course I obliged her and took a picture.

Leyla playing with plushies

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

We have a very very soft plush bunny, and a kiwi from New Zealand. Leyla is starting to giggle, and she likes it when we play with her with these toys. Long video, but cute (of course), after the cut.
