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!


Tummy Time! I love my musical catapillar!


Trying on snow hats at Baby Gap...


Trying rice cereal for the first time :)

Leonard just cracks me up.

Lately Leonard has been doing this thing where he basically cries and smiles all at the same time. I wish I had video of it because it is just TOO FUNNY!

He was doing it last nite. He would start frowning like he was gonna cry, then starts laughing, then cry, then smile, frown, then laugh. Me and Jeremiah were ROLLING! Its like geez Leonard! Kinda hard to take you seriously when you have no idea if you wanna be happy or sad!

Look who's talking now.

Leonard has discovered that he has a voice, and boy is it LOUD! Lately he has started making intentional noises. Mostly "oh's", and it is so cute! I just didn't anticipate how loud he would be. Saturday morning he woke us up around 6am, not crying but talking and giggling and having a good time. It was cute but since daddy didnt get much sleep, I had to take him in the living room so he wouldn't disturb him.

He is becoming his own little person with his own personality and its so cool to watch!


PJ's are one of my favorite things to buy for Leonard and I got these totally cute Gap pjs on Ebay and LOVE them! It says "Rockin Baby" on the front :) I have 3 more sets on the way! I think he is starting to look like such a little man, he isnt a new born anymore :(

Since Leonard is able to keep himself sort of occupied with a toy or something, we have been able to start renovations again on the house. Its been very trying living in an old house that needs work, but this house has so much potential and charm. Jeremiah and my dad built some shelves for the kitchen and Jeremiah finished the final design for our kitchen. So hopefully we can get the $$$ to get everything. Its slow coming but its been neat to see the house transform, even in small ways.
