New Deck

Jason has been working hard on our new back deck for the last week but this weather we have been having is not helping. Saturday Jason and his dad Kevin got the post set and Sunday fathers day they started the framing. It is turing out to look good and bigger much bigger then the old new. I can't wait for it to be done and summer to start being summer so we can sit out back and enjoy our new deck and BBQing.

They used our pop-up tent to try and stay out of the pouring rain Sunday afternoon.

Ready Set Walk

So Leah has been trying to free stand from the setting position for about a week now and just this morning as I was getting her breakfast ready she was hanging onto my leg and then let go and was standing there for about a minute before grabbing my leg again. So I am not sure what the steps are before she is walking full on but I am sure she will be walking here soon. Part of me is ready for her to walk and there is that other part that really doesn't want her to start because she is growing up to fast. Time please please please slow down I am not ready to have a one year old in 4 months.

I just got this so its not that great. but that is as far as she has gotten from the sitting positions to standing with out pulling herself to stand.

Lincoln City Oregon

Saturday Leah and I left early in the morning with my family to go to my cousin baby shower. It was a very long ride and Leah was a good girl the whole trip I was not sure how she would do with being in her carseat that long since she has never been in the car for 6 hrs before. She only slept an hour in the morning. So I thought for sure she would sleep when we got there but nope she didn't want to. The weather was nice so we helped set up before heading to the beach. Leah loved to watch the waves and play with the sand.

On our way back to the house Leah finilly fell asleep. Over all it was a good get away.

We both missed Jason and sad he didn't come but someone had to take care of our farm.

Found you!!!!

Leah has found where the dogs go to get away from her. Jenn is NOT a fan of Leah in her house.

I tried to get a pic of Leah in there with Jenn but Jenn was out of there before I could get the camera.

And now that Leah is everywhere Jenn really doesn't seem to like it.

She also has found her way to the back door. If we had our deck we would spend more time outside.

I hope it gets done before summer is over. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Happy 7 Months..

Happy 7 Months old Leah!!!
Leah has hit some many milestones over this month. So Jason and I thought she was going to skip crawling. The day after I posted Skip Crawling she starting crawling. Now she is always moving keepings us on our feet.
Things she loves to do.
1. Stand
2. Crawl
3. Eat
4. Play with Red
5.Sleep
6. Car rides
7. Get in to things (Daddy still hasnt learned to put his things away)
8. Hang outside
9. Jump
10. Scream/Talk( lots of it)
When she is standing she will let go and stand for a faw seconds before falling on her butt. She can walk somewhat while holding on to the table and couch. She likes to play on her knees and bounce it is the cutest thing.She is the cutest thing. I just love to sit and play with her. She just melts my heart everytime I look at her. She is still teething but no teeth yet. She still sleeps 12 hrs at her best. Sometimes she fights me to go to sleep so by the time she goes to sleep it 9pm but no matter  what she gets up by 7-8 witch is not bad I can't complain.
Happy 7 Months Lil Girl!!
You are such a great Blessing.

Skip Crawling...

Leah started to crawl a little bit. She will do it for a faw inchs before dropping to her tummy and to do the army crawl. Last friday Leah and I were playing when she seen Jason's shoe string and had to have it. She crawled to the step I didnt think she could get it. Then her hands up on the edge and up she went.Took a couple trys before getting it. She grab it and put it in her mouth. I took it away and give her a toy then put her back on the floor so she would not hurt herself. Yeah right she would not stop. Now thats all she wants to do is pull herself up on anything and everything. Monday night I put her to bed then when I went back in there 5 mins later she had pulled herself up and was standing holding on the post of her crib looking at me with the biggest smile when I asked her what she is doing she started laughing. We lowered her crib about 2 weeks ago and I think we should lower it more but Jason doesn't think she can get out or fall over the side.

She can be standing with in 30 sec to a min.

I know this doesn't look safe I was standing close by to catch her while Jason took the picture.

She loves to play with this box she throws all her toys on the floor then try and grab them.
