Post horribly overdue!

Things are going well. We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel so it has been a bit chaotic. Leonard is doing fine after his first ear infection and now we are having fun with teething...no teeth yet, but there is definitely stuff happening. He is getting SOOOO big. Its hard to believe He is 5 months old!

I'll have his 5 month pic up tonite but I have a few photos of him and Alexa from Halloween that I never managed to get up. There will probably be like 12 posts just today because im so behind on EVERYTHING!


Sydney, Alexa, Leonard and Alyssa all dressed up for Halloween.

My poor little bean...

I have some sad news, Leonard has his first ear infection. Leonard has been teething which triggered a runny nose, which gave him a cough, which caused stuff to drain in his ears and voila...ear infection.

None of us have been getting much sleep for the past 3 days but last night was the worst. We had been able to console him my using the Hylands Teething tablets (which ROCK btw) but last night when he started to run a fever we knew something was up.

So he is on antibiotics and is resting at Grandma's while mommy is at work. My mom says he is doing better and is getting some much needed sleep.

Its so sad because he is such a good baby and hardly ever cries so it's been challenging having him cry CONSTANTLY!

So everyone please be praying for healing in his ears as this is something he gets from Jeremiah's side of the family. Chronic ear infections run in his family and while it lessens with every generation, we really dont want this to become an issue for him.

Please be praying!

Thanks!

Losing that baby weight

While im on a role with posting...

Weight Watchers is going really well. In my first month ive lost 10 lbs! So only 24 more lbs till im back to pre-baby weight and another 10 to be back to my dancer weight :)

Its amazing ive actually lost weight considering i've had some bad weeks, but ive gotten right back on track.

Woohoo!

Eating Bananas :) and other cute stuff

Here are just a couple cute pics of Leonard and his first time eating bananas.




This outfit is just too much! I even have matching loafers :)


Oh man! Thats different Daddy!

4 Month Wellcare and Baby Food

Leonard had his last checkup and round of shots a few days ago and as suspected, he is perfectly healthy and normal. The Dr. was very impressed with his development and gave us the OK to try baby food :)

Here are Leonard's current stats

18 lbs 3 oz

27 inches long

Yep! He is one big boy! He is doing so well with eating his rice cereal and baby food. So far we have just tried bananas. Tonite we are doing sweet potatoes! Ive invested in some Clorox for colors as there will be some seriously stained bibs and baby clothes with all this.

Leonard is also teething. The doctor said his upper gums were pretty swollen but it could be a few weeks or even months before we see any teeth so we will see :)

I'll be posting lots of photos and maybe a video today, stay posted :)

Tummy Time Video :)

Ok so im probably the only one who enjoys this, but I think my family up north will enjoy seeing Leonard in action.

4 Months

I havent posted in a while because I have been getting some new photos. Leonard is officially four months old. Its amazing how fast the time has gone by and how big he is. Its hard to believe this big guy was once in my tummy!

We got the ok from his doctor to try rice cereal and he has tried it a couple times. He is doing pretty good with it and getting better at getting it in his tummy! He has also been having a little apple juice everyday to help with digestion and boy does he love apple juice!

Leonard is getting so strong! He does very well at tummy time pushing himself up and he can stand very well, holding onto just our fingers. He is really such a happy guy. He is just so smiley and giggly!

Here are some photos from the past week.

Officially 4 months old!


Cozy new sweater and hat!
