New Daycare

The 8 weeks with Michelle went way too fast! While she was great with Leah I was excited and ready to start at Principal's daycare. November 4th was her first day and things have been going great. It is so nice having her just a few blocks away and even nicer that I have been able to go and visit most days over lunch. I figure I need to take advantage of it now before she gets old enough where it might be upsetting for me to leave her there twice a day.

The buggy ride that Leah loves at school 

Another great thing is Leah has turned into an amazing sleeper. Starting the last week of October she went from crying herself to sleep and waking up frequently and needing plugged, to going to bed by 8 and us needing to wake her up at 6:30 to get ready for 'school'! It has been VERY nice for Mom & Dad to consistently get a good nights sleep. And she is so much happier when she wakes up. I guess she just needs her sleep, and lots of it! 

We hit a few more milestones, Leah found her feet (and loves playing with her toesies) and also rolled from back to front for the first time! Both happened on November 3rd. We also started baby and she seemed to love it! It's a little bittersweet, first time she's ever had anything besides breastmilk. Pretty soon she will be eating real food. 

Not real sure of the whole spoon thing :)

I love my feet!! (And the Hawkeyes of course)

Leah is still a little peanut. We had her 4 month check on November 6th (we are a little behind) and she weighed in at a whopping 13 lbs 8 oz putting her in the 21%. She is 24" (12%) and her head is 16" (42%).  So she has grown a little from her 2 month check but is happy and healthy which is all that matters. No worries that her younger cousin Luke is about 2 lbs heavier than her already:)

We are so blessed to have the happiest baby ever.  Even the daycare ladies go on and on about how happy she always is.

Peek-a-boo!

5 months already!
