Thanksgiving

Leah's first Thanksgiving was a blast we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa Meyers. We got up around 8 ate Breakfast with Great Grandma Meyer, Grandma and Grandpa. Watch the perade and helped start cooking. We spent the rest of the day relaxing. Leah stayed awake all day with a little nap about 40 mins right before dinner. She didnt want to miss out on such a great dinner she wake up to sit with the family.

     Leah this year was thankful for:

 Mommy
Daddy
Grandmas
Grandpas
Aunties
Uncle Johnny
Great Grandmas/Grandpa

She loves going to grammies house grammie has so much cool things to look at.

She was getting very sleepy but didnt want to sleep at all she might have missed out on pumpkin pie.

One Month old

Leah truned one month on Nov 22nd. We have been busy with the thanksgiving holiday and Great Grandma in town and Daddy gone we were not home. Leah had her one month check up on tuesday the 24th she weighted in at 9lbs 3oz. In the 50 percentile. Length of 21 1/2 inchs. also 50 percentile. and her head is 14 1/2 50 percentile she is right on track.

     Things she has discovered this last month.

Her hands
Tongue
Feet she can move them like crazy almost like she wants to sit and walk
She moves her head more smoothly
She makes coos and a sounds like hi.
she is starting to like baths more and not crying the whole time.
She loves to be held like all the time.
Starting to hold her head up a little more everyday
Sitting up like a big girl

She has started to sleep better at night going to bed around 8pm and getting up around 2-3 and then back to sleep until 6-7 and wake all day with little cat nap about 20 mins here and there. she crys a little less now days. I cant believe a month has pasted already. Cant wait to see what the next month brings us.

New Camera

I just got my birthday gift yesterday. Jason and his parents got me a new camera a Nikon Coolpix P-90 I love it. It takes better pictures then my old camera. Here are some pictures I just took this morning of my little pumpkin. She has gottin so big since last week and I can't believe she is almost a month old.

3 weeks

Ok so I am a little late a whole day. Leah is now 3 weeks and she has grown so much. I can tell her head has grown because it is so heavy when she is nursing.and she has put on some weight. She can scream and threw her hands and kick her feet like crazy  when she is tried and just want to go to sleep but does she no she likes to give mommy a run for her money. Keeping me up for hours at night crying. We did have one good night this week she slept from 10-5 and I have been trying everything I did that night to get her to do the same but no she has own ideas on how she wants her night to go. I know everyone saids babies dont start sleeping through the night until 6 weeks but does it hurt to try earlier then that. Leah is getting stronger at holding her head up. She sleeps so much better on her stomach or side. At first when my mom put her on her stomach I almost lost it but then she said she is going on 5 hours of sleep. So now I put her on her stomach or side. she will sleep longer and harder.

Leah trying to hold on to her new stuffed deer Grandma Cindy got her.

She so cute!!!!

Crazy hair due after her bath.

2 wk olds

Leah is two weeks old today. She is such a good baby she still has her nights and days some what mixed up. At her 2wk check up she weighted 7 Lbs 10 oz. She has such a cute little smile and she make funny noises that Jason loves to laugh at. She makes a lot of noise when she sleeps. Breastfeeding is getting better slowly. Only getting a couple hours of sleep a night is really hard I try to nap during the day but thats hard for me to do.

Leah's First Halloween

Saturday my mom, Leah and I went shopping it was fun great to get out of the house. I didnt want to get Leah a costume I couldnt find one I liked and wanted to spend lots of money on since she doesnt really fit into anything but newborn clothes so my mom found a princess hat and I have a cute outfit to dress her up and get pictures. The pictures didnt turn out the way we want she wasn't having any of it.

This one is about the only one we could get that she was happy.

Hope everyone had a great/safe Halloween.

Leah Rachel Briggs

Thats right we have finially come up with a name for our little girl after 5 days. It was the hardest things we had to do but I think it is the right name for her. She is the sweetest she has her days and nights all mixed up we stay up all night feeding and changing diapers and watching tv just her and I. I am very worn out. and the whole change in hormones sucks I cry over the little things like now here comes the tears. I try to hold them in but I know its not good so I let them know then I cant stop. Today Jason and I are taking Leah out to her first outing to the doctors. I hope the trip goes good. I just hope she doesnt need to be fed while we are out I dont know I feel about breastfeeding in front on people I dont know. So wish us good luck. and enjoy the pics.
