This Month's Favorites

Just some random pictures from this month that I want to make sure are included in Leah's baby book.



Happy Birthday Uncle Clint

Happy Birthday to my cool Uncle Clint! Hope you have a great day! I can't wait for you to teach me all about video games when I get bigger! Love, Leah

Go Cowboys!!

Two Month Appointment

You had your two month doctor's appointment today too. Here are your new stats:

   Wt - 12 lbs 0oz (Wt for length - 50th percentile,
                     Wt for age - 80th percentile)

                      Ht - 23 inches (75th percentile)
                      Head - 38.5 cm (50th percentile)

And of course you had the dreaded shots. You were pretty upset when they happened but calmed down pretty fast and slept for a long time afterward. Luckily you were so strong and that made it easier on mommy.

Here's at the doctor's office before the shots (you had no idea what was coming):

Here's your battle wounds (ouch):

Two Months Old

You are growing so fast! I think you get bigger everyday. You are two months old now and mommy will be going back to work soon. But this has truly been the best two months of mommy's life, getting to spend almost every minute with you.

Here's what we know:

• You still love to eat; however, now you are getting bigger so it is usually spaced out to every 3.5 to 4 hours
• You are a great sleeper. You get up during the night to eat, burp, get diaper changed and then go right back into your crib and go to sleep by yourself. Mommy is super lucky that she still gets a good amount of sleep too, especially now that you have been sleeping for a 5 to 6 hour stretch each night
• You are too big and strong to take baths in the sink anymore so we moved to the tub. You seem to really like baths, just don't like the cold part of coming out of the bath to your towel
• 5 pm to 7 pm is still your crabbiest time of day. Warning to anyone who wants to come visit at that time that they might have to endure a crying baby for a lot of it
• You still LOVE your swing! It's still your favorite even over mommy or daddy holding you
• You don't like tummy time but you love to sit up by yourself and you hold your neck up really well
• Ziggy is warming up to you a little more now. He still ignores you a lot but occasionally he will come over and give you some kisses, just to let you know he does love you
• You are smiling all the time now! Mostly in the mornings and so that is mommy's favorite time of day. Even if we are having a bad day, those smiles make everything worth it!!
• You have lots to say (or coo) and you love when someone will sit and talk to you
• You used to get hiccups after almost every feed. You still get them a lot, but no as often as you used to. You still hate them though
• You are still the loudest pooper we know
• You are still wearing 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers
• Your eyes are still bluish-grey and you haven't lost that hair yet
• You are not a very cuddly baby - You really enjoy your alone time (guess you take after daddy). When your are upset, laying you out  by yourself on your blanket will usually calm you down and make you smile again
• You had your first sleepover at the Wixo's this month

Here you were at 1 month:

And here you are at 2 months:



Parent's Night Out/Leah's First Sleepover

Last night my friend April had her wedding reception so Leah had her first sleepover at Auntie Nikki and Uncle Corey's house.

Paige and Parker were excited and both wanted Leah to sleep in their room. I don't think either of them won that battle but the night must have gone well for Paige because she asked if Leah could sleep over again tonight (we thought we better let Nikki have a full nights sleep again though). Plus, it was really weird for mommy to sleep in such a quiet house - no monitor, no video to watch and no crying.

Here's mommy with her great work friends - thanks for a very fun night girls!!

And, thanks so much Wixo's for watching Leah, she had a great time and so did we.

My New Shoes

I love baby shoes!! I know they aren't very practical, but they are just so precious. Leah has been wearing shoes when we go into town lately (and they have even been staying on). Aren't they cute?!?

Sleeping Update

It wasn't a fluke!! Last night she slept from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. - another 6 hour stretch. I know it might not last forever, but this very well rested mommy is happy.

Love You Leah!!
