Hiatus

Sorry for the long hiatus. It looks like my last update was before Thanksgiving (yikes!). I'll try my best to summarize the last few months that included holidays, lots of sickness, family time, and growing. Here goes...

Leah's crawling!

Leah has moved on from the army crawl, and is on her knees and crawling all over the place. Let the mischief begin!!!

Seven Months

I forgot to send out a six-month update for Leah, so this is a six-month and seven-month combined update. Our little girl is doing great. She is sitting up, moving all around via an army crawl, and she has two bottom teeth (check out the last picture of the collage below). She doesn't really like solid foods, but she is still managing to fill out her skinny jeans, and ranked in the 80th percentile for height and weight at the six-month visit. I'll repeat what I've said in every update...she smiles all the time, and is so easy-tempered. The collage below is a look at our girl from birth to present...she's getting SO big!!!

September Rewind

It's October...it's Fall...it's my favorite month of the year, and I can't wait to document every day of it! But, first, here's a little taste of what our fam was up to in September...

First Food Pics

First food pictures crack me up. Here's Leah enjoying her first bite of food (sweet potatoes). She wasn't sure at first, but I finally got a smile of enjoyment.

First Day of Pre-School

Joshua started a pre-school program earlier this week. He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays, for three hours in the morning. He had a great time playing with trucks, doing crafts, and playing outside. His favorite part was meeting a new friend. Today, was his second day, and he was still very eager to go.

Makayla, on the other hand, is having a tough time with leaving her brother's side. The first day, she cried, and said, "I love Brother, he's my best friend". She would come up to me, and also say, "I miss Brother!" She is definitely attached at the hip to her brother. After dropping Joshua off on his first day, Makayla and I went to Starbucks and got "coffee" (hot chocolate) and banana bread to take her mind off of things. She also got some good mommy time as we colored and played with Legos. By the end, I think she liked not having Brother to take toys away from her.

He was very proud of the sunflower he painted.

First, she cried. Then, she figured out she could sit in Joshua's car seat and play with his puppy and school bus. Then, she gave the thumbs up after having "coffee" and banana bread!
