14 months.

It has been 14 months since I've seen my parents! So, you can imagine how anxious we are to see them. :) Since last we saw them: I've been pregnant 9 months and have a 2 month old baby! The disadvantage of living in a different country.

The suitcases are repacked. All I have to do is the carry-on bags. We'll have 3 bags: my purse, a bookbag, and a diaper bag. I think that everything we have in the carry-on bags is Leia's besides a book for Fredrik. (I have my mp3 player and some sudoku books.) :P

I guess I should give a 2-month update on how Leia is doing. :P :))
Her head control is going fairly well. She is able to hold it still very, very well. She is following her hands and feet. She'll hold her hand in front of her face and move her hand around and follow it with her eyes. But then she will try to put it in her mouth and punch herself in the eye instead. :D

She is complaining less and less while laying on her stomach, something she really doesn't enjoy. :/ :) She tries so hard to talk. :) She has been repeating the same noises for awhile now. She has the cutest smile and laugh. :) If you stick your tongue out at her, she'll do the same. :) She loves strange noises that you can make with your mouth. :) She likes being tapped on the nose. And she doesn't like it when you tickle her feet. :)) She enjoys grabbing mommy's hair, and even though she isn't yanking yet, it is impossible to get her to let go. She is doing well, also, with reaching and touching or grabbing things she wants.

She is extremely impatient and has a bad temper, which she gets from my Farmor.. :P

So-long, farewell! And next time we post, we'll be State-side!
