Uh Oh

New face of the week...enough said! =)

Jumper Fun

I felt it was time for some old equipment to go, and some new to come out to play. Good thing too, she is loving her jumper. Trevor is freaking out, "this just doesn't seem stable," he keeps repeating over and over again. I on the other hand have no issues with it. And, the person who actually has a say, Leah, is having a ball!

Time to Bundle Up

The weather here has been crazy! It is still fluctuating from 50s one day to 70s the next. I refuse to try and put Leah in a snowsuit, she hates being constricted so I am choosing to not go there. However, it is still super windy and brisk most mornings. Some mornings are still jacket only mornings. However, we've dipped into the 30s and 40s at night. Luckily, her carseat also has a cover to fit over it. This has been wonderful. She is completely covered, but her hands and legs are free to move. I just stick a blanket over the opening while we are outside and she is happy as a clam.

Happy Halloween / 7 Months Old

We spent this weekend visiting my parents, we celebrated my dad's 61st birthday and Leah went "trick-or-treating" at Nonni's. We also visited Grandma and Grandpa in Clinton during the week. Leah is now 19 lbs, and eating all sorts of vegetables. She is also learning to love fruits. So far she's tasted bananas, apples, prunes, and pears. Bananas are taking a while to enjoy. I'm mixing each fruit with her cereal so it's a little easier to swallow. HA! Today, Sophie and Tyler came over so we could get a picture of the girls together. We also took Leah next door so our neighbors could see her dressed up as a ladybug. It was a great weekend all around!

Big Girl, Good Week

Leah has been having a great week at daycare! She's loving playtime with her little friends there and they are so good to her (obviously, Cole is letting her smack his face)! HA! Leah is also sitting up on her own now. One of pictures shows her playing while sitting all on her own. Such a big girl. She's also had some diaper only time at daycare while LaDona tries to transition from a shirt with spit-up to a fresh onesie. Leah loves "naked" time. We have a fun weekend coming up. We are going to Nonni's house for my Dad's birthday and so Leah can "trick-or-treat" there. I am So glad this week is over and I am definitely ready to see my family.

Good Sleeper

Today, Leah took her first 3 hour nap at daycare! I couldn't believe it! I tried to think about what's changed and came up with these two ideas. First, she is finally free of snot, shots, and cough. Second, we have been putting her to sleep awake. Although she fusses for a bit, she also can squirm until she finds her happy spot. I am so hoping this continues. She woke up so happy and had a great afternoon! Her afternoon was so great, she decided she should multi-task during floor play. She was using hands and feet! ha!

"I Do It"

Although those words are not yet spoken by her, her actions say it all. She is definitely gaining more independence as the days go on, and today "I Do It" came during the hiccups. I put some water in a bottle to try and get them to go away. I think she noticed that this was a smaller bottle than usual, and obviously there was no milk in it. She quickly pushed my hand away and continued to drink on her own.
