The weekend before last, Leora's mom finally had to give her a haircut. Here she shows off the new look over the morning paper. That same weekend, Leora became a big fan of bellybuttons. She can now understand simple phrases and commands, so she can point one out to you.

On December 23, 2008, Leora's Grandma gave her another birthday party for the family to attend. Aunt G and Uncle Aa, Aunt Sue and Uncle Charlie, Cousin Norman, GG (Great Gran), and Leora's mom all came to Grandma's and Grandpa's house to celebrate. Leora had a great time, but wasn't to sure what all the fuss was about birthday cake.
