Our Valentine

First Pair of Jeans

She's already got better clothes than her parents. Lucky girl!

First Road Trip

Last weekend we went on our first family road trip with Leah. We took a quick trip to St. Cloud for some shopping, eating out and to stay overnight in a hotel.

Mom and dad forgot the pack-n-play and the stroller (we are still learning I guess :-) but we still had a fun family day together!

Two Weeks Old

Leah and I made it through our first week at home alone!

Here's what our days have consisted of:

Mornings are Leah's awake time. She is usually up and looking around from about 6:30 to 11am.

Then time for a nap in the swing. Leah loves her swing.



Then Mom and Leah like to hang out. Looks like we were watching The Voice.

Tummy Time

Guess she is hungry

And back to napping again

Ziggy and Leah love to take naps together! Here they are waiting for Daddy to get home.



The days are flying by fast. I haven't got much done around the house yet... but that's my goal for next week. :-) We are getting into more of a routine now, so that's good and we are still loving spending every minute together! 

Thank You Grandma and Grandpa D

Well after a wonderful 10 day visit, Grandma and Grandpa D had to go back home :-( Thank you so much for all you did for us during this last week. It was great to have a clean house, food cooked for us, laundry done, plus more! And Leah loved her time snuggling with you both. This week would have been a lot more difficult without you here.

Leah is giong to miss you tons and tons!! Hope to see you very soon!

Love you!

One Week Old

I can't believe my baby is already 1 week old. The time has gone by fast!

Leah has been an amazing baby this first week. It's crazy how she just fits into our family. It is like she should have always been with us!

From our first week we know:

• Leah LOVES to eat! She has been a great eater since right after she was born. I have never once had to struggle with getting her to eat.
• She is already a little stinker, twice today she has pooped in her brand new diaper that I had just put on within 5 minutes before. And boy is she noisy when she poops - you can't miss it!
• She is doing pretty good with sleep. Most nights I get at least one 3 hour stretch of sleep. Besides that she eats about every 2-3 hours consistently.
• Every night so far she has slept in her crib.
• She has already melted all our hearts. She couldn't be any sweeter of a baby.
  
  
  

I can't wait to see what next week brings! It might be a little more challenging without all the help of Grandma and Grandpa D... hopefully it goes as smooth.

Show-N-Tell

Leah got to go to school yesterday! Paige asked if Leah could be her show-n-tell for school this week and it was great timing because the class was even learning about the letter "L". Thanks so much Paige for asking Leah to come... she sure is lucky to have a cousin who loves her so much and wants to show her off.

First Bath

Leah wasn't so sure about being unwrapped and cold. But once she got into the water she decided baths weren't too bad.
