Little Miss Fat Jaws

Because my cheeks are so mushy and everyone loves to kiss them ..........all of Louisiana was calling me "Fat Jaws" ( Big Cheeks as they say in the south). Hey, I love it here.
Every car ride we took , she would sing and clap. I think she got a little of the soul in her down there.

Mommy and Daddy head into New Orleans for a night of Gumbo and Bourbon Street.

Yes, I am a southern belle and I plan on wearing all of the dresses Mommy packed for me. Ohhhh you should have seen her curls down there. " Mommy, I want my food SPICY!!"

Leah's first trip to the Cajun market to look for some craw fish

There were so many salimanders in the front yard. Each morning we went out to look for them. Here is one staring us down.

We took Leah all over town to meet different family members. Here she is with her oldest living relative. It's her Great, Great Uncle Pop Bill, who will be 90 next week. There is a BIG party going on down here but we were a week early. Still, he was so excited to meet the newest member of the family.

LeLe did alot of standing this week ( as long as she was holding onto something she was okay). She was just SOOOO HAPPY to be outside. The waether was amazing, especially since we had such a tough winter. I mean each time we took her out she sqealed in joy. She would bang on the door all morning till we went outside. Luckily Grandma Shirley has a big and beautiful yard for her to explore. She even got to try out her new fancy sandals. Leah and Grandma Shirley just soaking up the sun.
We discovered a brand new and great park/water park for Leah right down the street from Grandma's. Luckily Leah isn't to tall to be asked to leave the water area....yipee!

With her new ear plugs, cute bathing suit , and 90 degree weather she was ready to test out the water toys!
