Leah first foods

Leah had her first bit at rice cereal 2 weeks ago. She didnt seem to like it much at first then after a faw bits she was likeing it. Then at the end she had a enough of it. Now she loves it.

During her 4th feeding I made it a little thicker.

Applesauce

This morning while Leah was playing I made her some home made applesauce it was so easy. I got the recipe from wholesomebabyfood.com It taste ok to me. I think it needs some sugar and cinnamon but it is for Leah not me. So I really hope she likes it in about a month.

Next on the list of fruit:

Bananas

Avocado

Pears

Oh then for vegetables:

Squash

Sweet Potatoe

Green Beans

I so can't wait to start making more foods for Leah.

On the GO.....

She is on the go rolling all over the place. She was playing on the floor while I was making dinner everytime I looked in the living room she was in a different spot on the floor. Here you can see her pulling herself forward and trying to roll off on to the floor.

Just becasue I think it is the cutest pictures of Leah yet...

Today Leah and I cleaned the bathrooms. Boy was that a all day job. I do miss getting things done within an hour of starting it. BUT I DONT mind it really now it just takes me all week to clean house. Its nice having her around to talk to while cleaning tell her one day she will be on her hands and knees cleaning the toilte and she will smile. She was a great trooper playing in her jumperoo. She didnt seem to want to take a nap for long. So before I put her down for a nap after eatting we played around with the camera a little and I got her to smile for the camera.

 

She has this mullet going on her hair is getting so long in the lower back, left side, and front you can so tell what side she sleeps on and the back where rubs on. Its so long it goes down her heck and when wet looks longer. I hope it does all fall out like my hair is. Its falling out like crazy.

4 Months

Leah is now 4 months old today. Every parent I know told me to enjoy the time spent with Little Girl because it will go by so fast and now I have realized that it is true. Leah is learning and growing so much it's so hard for me to believe. I feel like I just posted her 3 month update yesterday. In the last couple of days she has been rolling over and doing circles all over the place. I put together her jumperoo last Monday and she has been enjoying her time in it jumping about. Playing with all of her toys. She is also pulling herself forward to sit up but only with help. We have been outside enjoying the sunshine over the weekend working on the chicken pen and yard work. Today Leah and I went to Brady park and walked around the lake. She has her 4 month check up on Friday and maybe we will be starting her on rice cereal soon. She is nursing like it is going out of style. sometimes I just can't keep up with her. She is sleeping through the night 12 hrs going to bed around 7:30pm and getting up by 7-7:30am. Napping 3-4 times during the day for about an hour at a time. On Saturday Leah went to her very first birthday party for my good friend Liz's kids Khloe and Eathon. She was such a good girl didnt even cry when people she didn't know held her and after we left she was the talk of the party. Will post an update on friday after her doc appt. with her progress. until then hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine as much as we are.

3 Months

Our adorable little girl Leah Rachel Briggs turned 3 months old today.

She is 11lbs and getting bigger by the day.

Things she has learned this month.

Her Feet when sitting up she grabs them

How to chew on her tongue

She bats at her bird on her bouncer to make it turn

Roll over back to side and side to back (she does not do it all the time but sometimes)

She likes to sit in her BeBe pod seat.

Her tummy time is getting better she started to do her mini push ups.

She has been colicky lately I feel so bad for her I wish it was me that had the painful tummy ache.

We can't wait to see what she learns this month.

Mommy and Daddy Love you Little Girl!!!

Red was trying to lick her face.

Just love this look.

I wonder what she is thinking (like what in the world are you doing)

Mommy being silly trying to get her smile long enough to get a picture.

Just love the look!!

She plays with her toys while on her tummy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope everyone had a nice relaxing new year eve. We didnt do anything special but hang around the house. Leah is 9wks old and she is so sweet she likes to sit with me and be a big girl. Jas got this picture when she was helping me text her Auntie Sammi. I have to go back to work this month and I am not sure if I am ready to leave Leah for a long period of time. I know she will be in good hands with whoever watchs her. I am only going back supplemental so working 4 days a month is all I have to work. I know deep down it will be ok.  I know I am ready to go back and see all my co-workers I sure do miss everyone.

I am ready for this new year to start and ready to see what this year brings our little family.

I wish everyone a year full of love, happiness, and safe year.
