My Blessing

The reason I'm celebrating today and so happy to be a mommy:

Leah, I'm so blessed to be your mom and love you more than you will ever know!

My Advice: Marry Well!

I love my husband but the last couple weeks I've realized how lucky you are when you marry into a great family too! Grandma and Grandpa D have been here for the last week and a half and have been wonderful to us!!

Not only do they watch our daughter all day while we are at work (and at night after we get home) but they clean, do laundry, cook, mow the lawn, pack, sew, do the dishes, fix stuff around the house... the list is really endless. I think they get more done in one day then I got done all of my maternity leave.

And Leah is just loving having them around.. she lights up and smiles instantly when they come over to her.

So, I have no idea what it is like to have those bad in-laws so many people talk about.. because mine are AMAZING!!

Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa!!

3 Month Pics

Leah did great for her 3 month pics, even though it was an all day process (well not really, but it felt like it!!) I love how they turned out!

Three Months Old

My baby is getting SO BIG!

Here's our monthly recap:

• You've learned to scream really loud when you are hungry. When you have bottles during the day you eat around 4 oz
• You have definitely found your hands, you love to have them in your mouth
• You have a really runny nose. It doesn't bother you much but you have been getting stuffy quite a bit in the mornings
• You are still in 0-3 size clothes and size 1 diapers
• You roll over to your side now
• You are still a great sleeper. Mom usually only has to get up one time a night to feed you. Such a good girl! And you love your mobile - it puts you to sleep a lot of nights



Your cousins really like the Mobile too :-)





• But that doesn't mean you are a sound sleeper, Mommy is always surprised when she comes to get you from your crib because you are usually sideways and lately have been turning yourself completely around
• We started putting you in your walker just for you to sit in and you love it. You really like sitting up straight and being pushed around the house

• You still have your blue eyes and brown hair but your hair seems to be getting lighter
• You've had many babysitters so far... you get a new one every week
• You make so many noises now. You talk and talk and talk. You make lots more noises than last month
• You are squirmer at bath time, you love to hang your legs over the side of your baby tub

• You still get tired and crabby at night... I guess the day just wears you out
• And lastly, Mom and Dad love everything about you!!!

A look back at her 2 month picture:

And now 3 Months:

Week with Grandma

Leah got to spend Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with Grandma this week. She is definitely getting to be a very spoiled little girl. But everyday when I got home she was full of smiles so she must have had fun.

We are still so thankful to have such wonderful family to watch Leah for us so she doesn't have to go to daycare quite yet!

Here's some pics from Grandma and Leah's days together...

Thanks so much Grandma! Hope to see you soon!

Hmmm...

Are we bad parents?
