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!!

Wixo's Babysitting

From the Wixo Family Blog:

This weekend we were lucky enough to get Leah all to ourselves for a couple hours. She was such a good little girl and pretty much slept the whole time mom and dad were gone.  But we did get a little awake time with her...

So we spent some time just looking at her and touching her while she laid on the floor...

We talked to her to calm her down....

 We all watched a little TV together....

Then we put her to sleep.....

Let her have some alone time.....

And even got a quick feed in before she went home.....

It was so fun, and made us look forward to all of the summer days that we get to spend with her while her mommy and daddy go to work :)

6 Hours!!

Leah had a major milestone last night (and a big one for mommy). She slept for 6 hours straight!! I fed her at 10 p.m., put her in her crib at 10:30 p.m. and she slept until 4:30 a.m. I couldn't believe it when I got up and looked at the clock.

Granted, she was VERY crabby the evening before this and her crying and arm/leg flailing probably exhausted her. But hey, it was 6 hours and that's the longest this mommy has slept (in a row) in 7 weeks!

Great Job Leah! Let's hope it isn't a fluke and you can sleep for that long again tonight! 

To Grandma's House We Go

Leah and I made a day road trip to visit Grandma C in Mandan yesterday. Grandpa had to work so we didn't get to see him for very long. Leah was so good in the car and slept all the way until we got to Bismarck.

We also went to visit Great Grandma Rose while she was volunteering at the hospital. Yes, she is 92 years old and still volunteers at the hospital, she is pretty amazing!

After that we went to lunch and to see Great Aunt Char and Great Uncle Eric.

It was a great day! Thanks Grandma for spending the whole day with us!

Our Day with Paige

Yesterday we got to spend the whole day with Paige because she didn't have school. We were supposed to spend today with her too but Parker was under the weather so they both had to stay home.

Thanks for a great day Paige. Leah had a blast with you and we can't wait for you to come over again soon to make up for today!

Paige brought toys to share with Leah

Ziggy missed Paige too

Doing crafts together

What a great big cousin!

Notice Leah is sleeping with a barbie, Paige's blanket and a friendship bracelet :-)

Paige watched her for a while...

And then decided playing computer was more fun

Rest time

We also went into town to McDonalds and for some toy shopping.

What a fun day we had!!
