only a month or so behind...

I feel like a total failure as a blogging mother... (that sounds kind of profane doesn't it?) But I'll try to get caught up. A few pics of Leah around her 1-month birthday.

She started smiling at us regularly around this time, but just like our other baby.... she did not hold a pose or make a face for very long, so we didn't catch many of them on film. (Film? Who uses film?)

She also went to her first restaurant (Cheesecake Factory) and her first cafeteria (she LOVES Luby's like her mama!)

She went on her first trip to the dog park and Super Target and she visited both sets of grandparent's homes.

She had her first BOTTLE! So dad finally gets to feed her once in a while.

For the first week or two everyone kept saying how much Leah looked like her daddy... but around this time it began changing... some say she looked like me, some still say Kevin, but I think she looks so much like her Aunt Leslie's baby pictures.

I called her my little Beaker because she squeaked all the time like Beaker from the Muppet's.
We also call her Granny Grunt.... what a little noise maker!

Her favorite pastime for the first month of life was streeeeeeetching. She also loved to wait until we had the diaper OFF to finish her business which gave mom extra practice at bathing a tiny newborn!

At one month old Leah began consistently sleeping a 5 hour stretch at night without waking up! So mom finally gets 4 1/2 hours of sleep at one time!!

Of course, all this is old news... she's changed so much! Every single day she is bigger and stronger and doing new things and we can't believe we love her even more!!
