sprinkler

Leah and Deacon had a little pajama party on Saturday night. I feel as though Leah is doing the sprinkler dance...ah, I'm so proud!

5 months old!

Ok, Ok so technically, Leah won't be 5 months old until Monday - but I couldn't wait to post this cutie picture until then! We love bath time in her little pink bathtub. She enjoys seeing how far she can splash water across the kitchen. ( The cats love that! )
We hit a milestone yesterday at 6:15 am...she rolled over for the first time from her tummy to her back. We were so proud that we didn't care we were awake too early!

cereal

My baby's growing up! We gave her her first taste of cereal last night and we think she did pretty good! As you can see, it looks like she is trying to help him feed her. And, it still is looking like she is going to be left handed. Precious!

hours of fun ahead

Gol, mom...I am trying to play here!

4 month checkup

Leah had her 4 month well child checkup last Wednesday. I am proud to report that she is super healthy (and hope she stays that way)! She weighs 14.8 lbs (50th %), 24 1/2 inch tall (50-75th%) and her head is at the 50th% as well...I can't remember the actual measurement.

She did SO good with her shots, only crying a couple of minutes afterwards. She slept super good two nights in a row as well - she's still sleeping in her swing at night, but at this point, we're thankful to get some good sleeping in! She will break her crib in soon enough!

coming home

Hi everyone! I just wanted to post a little update on my dad...he received a transfusion Thursday night as a result of his weakness and low energy - the surgeon said that it wasn't too risky considering the blood came from one of his kids. That really did the trick! They were able to take him off oxgyen and remove his last chest tube yesterday morning.
I came down with the stomach flu so I haven't been able to see him since Thursday night, but I've talked to him on the phone and he sounds MUCH better! He will be coming home from the hospital tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon.
Thank you for your prayers thus far, and please continue to pray for a complete recovery!

getting ready

Never you fear, in the midst of all the activity lately, I have NOT forgotten to take pictures of our little peanut. I decided to try something new this week in preparation of starting her on solid food. I have been so excited to try out this highchair since I got it at one of my baby showers....
She did SO good and seemed to really enjoy playing with her toys on the big tray.

And update on my dad: he had an "ok" night last night. He is very sore and uncomfortable, but he is out of ICU and back in a regular room. He will be here for between 3 and 5 more days depending on his recovery. He is up and moving and is making little wise-cracks with the nurses, so we are encouraged to see the sense of humor coming through. Please keep him in your prayers as it is frustrating and slow-going for him. The nurses are all very encouraging and saying he's doing great so far!
