Trying new things











Hey everyone! It's been a while! Leah is almost 5 months already! My sister's friend did some pictures of Leah for her 4 month mark, they are sooooo cute. Here are some a few of my favorites. Leah is getting such a little personality, a little diva! She is starting to laugh (she thinks Ryan is funnier than me) and give little hugs. Well I don't know if she knows they're hugs but I say she does. She gets excited to see people she knows like me (of course), daddy, grandma and grandpa, and Aunt Sarah. Leah and her older cousin Austin are BFF's now, so cute! A few weeks ago we tried out the rice cereal with Leah. She loved the taste and she was grabbing the spoon wanting to feed herself already. Later we found out that Leah's belly did not enjoy the rice cereal as much as Leah did. She was up really late crying, burping, farting...the usual signs of indigestion. Poor thing! So we are putting off the rice cereal for now. Leah had fun with the Parks side of the family on Thanksgiving and at the Short's side, she got to try some sweet potatoes and loved them! Our biggest struggle right now is the fact that she is still not wanting to sleep through the night. The past few nights she has had a cold and has been up 3, 4, and even 5 times during the night. This has definitely taken it's toll on me. As anyone who knew me pre-baby....I like my sleep...I like it a lot. I am starting to wonder if I will ever sleep 8 hours straight again in my life. I am just taking things one day at a time and trying to enjoy everything I can. Well anyways I am rambling, I will let you enjoy these sweet pictures!

  1. These pictures belong in a magazine! Just adorable. There will come a day when you get your 8 hours of sleep again until then keep the coffee comin! Wait...do you drink decaf? I'm a bird brain! You'll get through this and learn from it too.

  4. yeah I have thought about that so I have it down to a science...I pump like first thing when I get to work before I get my coffee. Then I have 1 cup and pump 3 hours later so it should be out of my system by then. And so on throughout the day. I am a genius. But who knows if it's actually doing anything. I think she is teething now...awesome!
