How Holy :)

Wow, so these blogs are more like monthly...I can't believe I don't get around to this more often! Leah was baptised on the 15th of February, and she looked like an angel in her long white gown. She cried a little bit during the ceremony (although at 50 minutes plus, I can barely blame her!) but was really good overall. We were so lucky to have so much of our families in town, and it was great to see everyone! A special thanks to my sister, Amber, and my brother-in-law, Mike, for being Leah's godparents! It meant a lot to us.

After the baptism I drove back with my mom and grandma to Pittsburgh to see my extended family. We had a great time! Grandma took us to Little Sisters of the Poor, where she has volunteered ever since I can remember. It's a retirement home for the poor, run by Catholic nuns. If Leah wasn't Holy enough after her baptism, she's defintiely holy now with all of the blessings she got! :) Leah also got to meet her great aunts and uncles, and even learn how to play a little poker. She got pocket aces on her first round, lucky girl...

Bath Time!

Hello everyone!

It's been a busy few weeks since my last post, but we're finally getting into a comfortable routine! Leah's still having a little trouble taking naps, but has been doing better. She seems to know exactly when she's being put down and has certainly developed a healthy set of lungs to let us know she's not happy about it :) One of her favorite times of the day though is bath time! It took a few weeks to get her used to it, but now she enjoys it. Especially when Daddy gives her a bath! She just smiles and stares up at him with those big eyes :)

Hope to see you all soon!!

We're on our own!

Thanks to our families for all of the love and support you've shown the past few weeks! We've had lots of company and help in caring for Leah, which allowed Jonathan and I to get used to being parents before we were off on our own! Today is really day one of our new routine. Jonathan is back to work full-time as of this morning, so Leah and I are figuring out what to do with our days. Of course for her, eating, sleeping, and dirtying her diaper is all that's on the agenda. For mom though, trying to care for her and still have time to shower, get dressed, and brush teeth has proved a small challenge :) One I will meet head on! I'm hoping tomorrow it takes less than 5 hours to complete all three!

Leah is already growing up so fast! Below are pictures of her from last week - Jonathan and I probably blinded her with all the photos we took, trying to get the perfect shot for her birth announcement! We did catch her with one gassy smile though!

Ok well I'm getting errors in uploading, so I'll try again later. Thanks again to all the family for your help!
