Leisha was born September 1, 1986, on Labor Day, in American Fork, Utah. Pretty fitting, huh? She was born at 10:48 a.m. and weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 13 oz.
The above picture was taken at the hospital on Sept. 3. Hospital pictures never do the baby justice. She was so much cuter than the picture....here's proof.
(This is Leisha @ 2 1/2 months. She weighed over 13 lbs.)
(This was her 1 year old picture.)
Leisha was and is my only blonde/blue eyed daughter. Milo is the only other one of my kids that is blonde/blue eyed. She was my happiest and most content baby. She always smiled at everyone and when she would smile her eyes sparkled. I loved her little heart shaped mouth. More than once when I would be out with her, people would say she looked like the Gerber baby.
Here's more pictures as she's growing up.
(Her hair was naturally curly and still is.)
Leisha is an actress at heart. She loves being on stage and is quite the comedian. She was in most of the plays throughout high school and many of them she had the leading part. If you want to see the real Leisha....go watch her in a play.
(This is one of the pictures I have of her in a play. Most of them that I took are too dark! I'm not a photographer!)

(Leisha and Emma on Emma's blessing day.)
And this last picture proves that Leisha definitely takes after her Mom!.....

Oh what a cute post. I love all the Leisha photos, especially her baby ones with her heart shaped mouth. And the candy, witch photo too. Darling and definitely her mother's daughter. Happy birthday Leish!! Love you.
Well said Marion. Thanks for sharing your daughter with me as well. She has become one of my own. I loved the baby pictures and can certainly see where Emma gets her looks from. I can't even express how lucky we feel to have her as part of our family. Love you!
