Leah Smiles

Leah has started smiling and cooing at people and herself this week.  Each morning she enjoys looking/talking at herself in her swing.  She also smiles at people's faces all day long.

Leah's First Month

Leah is growing like a weed!  I can't believe how quickly she is growing and developing each day.  For the past two weeks she has gained 10 oz. each week and now weighs 10 lb 1 oz.  Almost 2 pounds bigger than when she was born.  Leah had her 1 month checkup last week and is a very healthy little girl.  The pediatrician said that she is 50th percentile in weight and 75th percentile in length and head circumference.  In the past month, Leah has begun to lift her head and focus/recognize Aaron and I.  She has also begun sleeping longer some nights.  She has had lots of loving visitors and we have enjoyed all of the time spent with family and friends during the last few weeks.

 Leah loves her new outfit, given to her by her "favorite" aunt Gail

 Leah's first Sunday at church

 This is what happens when there are lots of little girls around who want to make Leah laugh!  Nice hat (diaper) Leah!

 Leah's go to pose when falling asleep!  She couldn't be cuter :)

New Fashion!

Loving my new clothes. The skirt was made just for me by Rachel and it's just right.

Week 1

Here are some pics from Leah's first week.

The many faces of a sleeping Leah

I love watching her sleep!

Leah Elizabeth Shetler

17 Days until My Due Date!!!

We are getting ready for the arrival of our baby, but the baby seems to think that it is staying lodged in my rib  cage and lungs forever!

38 weeks and 3 days pregnant

Continuing to decorate the nursery.  We now have a very cute wall decal up that has cute little birds.

2 of my latest projects: An owl pillow and light birdie blanket, perfect for spring time.

This is our bookshelf/toy box for the baby.

This week will be quite busy as we prepare for the arrival.  We are packing out hospital bag, going to a weekly doctor's appointment, touring the birth center, getting pampered at the spa (Mom I can't wait for Friday!) and seeing friends and family at the shower on Saturday!
