8 weeks old!!





Yesterday, Leah turned 8 weeks old. On Thursday, she will officially be 2 months old. I am excited to see how much she weighs and how long she is. She has already outgrown 0-3 onsies and outfits that are all in one piece. Her torso is really long.
On Friday evening, we returned from a whirlwind trip to Tennessee for my Grandpa's 80th b-day and we also spent a few days in Atlanta with Bobby's family. It was a very trip, but I am glad to be back in our element where Leah actually naps without being held (in her big swing) and sleeps really well at night.
I will post more pictures of our trip when I have the chance.

30 years old!!

On June 20th, Bobby turned 30!! It's hard to believe, because he doesn't look a day over 22, but he is officially old!! Just kidding hubby!!

This year he had 3 birthday celebrations. The first was on Saturday around lunch time. Bobby's parents, along with his sister and nearly 8 week old daughter came over and we met at a park for lunch and to play with the kiddos. We got KFC's new grilled chicken and had a cookie cake. It was hot, but we sat under a nice shelter, and later, while the kiddos played, we found a nice tree to sit under.

On Saturday evening, we had a birthday/anniversary dinner with my parents. Bobby's birthday and my parents' anniversary are the same day. We had steak, vegetable packets, and a key lime pie. Yummm!!!

On Sunday afternoon, right after church, we had lunch with my sister and her family along with my parents. We got gourmet hot dogs from a place called The Dog Joint and an apple pie. The kiddos were treated to homemade ice cream sandwiches that I made the night before because they don't like apple pie.

All-in-all, it was a very nice weekend, busy, but nice!!

Silly Rebekah

Bekah swinging with her "pet." She was pulling this pumpkin around on the jump rope one day, and my mom asked her if it was her pet. She's such a silly goose!!

She's Growing Up



These pictures are of when Leah was 1 month old. (she is now 5.5 weeks)

She is growing up fast. She struggling throughout the day to find her peace. She will sleep on me for a bit, only in her bed for about 5 minutes, and in the bouncy seat/swing for a few more than that. Sometimes I cannot even get her to calm down by holding her. She just screams!!

At night, she goes down pretty easily, by 10 and usually gets up between 4 and 5 and then goes back down until 7:30ish. I guess I should be thankful for this, but it is still very hard physically and mentally to deal with the house and the other 2 kiddos while Leah is screaming!! Say a prayer for me and the girls if you think about us. Sometimes it's so bad that the girls plug their ears during lunch.

Sponge Bath Time



Since Leah's cord hasn't fallen off yet, we gave her a sponge bath on Saturday night. She loved it!! She was so calm getting her hair washed. She didn't love her belly getting washed, but I think it was because she was cold.
