More Leah!!!

Going to church!! I decided that we could make it to sacrament meeting this week. It was fun to show her off to all our ward friends.
Sleeping so happy and contented.
Daddy's Cutie!
I think the doctors lied to us. She's only 12 inches long, not 18. :)
I was doing my hair and wanted her close to me, so I put her in the sink.
Cute snuggle baby. And check out our garden in the background!!
Floppy!!
Sorry about the clash of colors....the orange wall, my different orange shirt, my orange bag, Leah in pink and Alex in red. Besides that, it's a great family picture!!!

Showing off her cute outfit!
So, everyone knows how unpredictable sneezes are. Leah's sneezes are so cute, though, we had been trying forever to get some on video. The first was my attempt to be ready when the ceiling fan was blowing on her face. The second was just to get her cute kicking and I was lucky to catch some sneezes at the end, too!! She loves to be sprawled out to kick and flail her arms and legs. It frustrates her to be bundled and not have access to her arms. We sure do love our little princess!!

And lastly, a shout out to Alex. Today is his birthday!!! I had all these plans to get him something special, do whatever he wanted, make his favorite dinner/dessert, etc. Instead, Leah was born. So I told him to buy himself what he wanted and we can do whatever he chooses today. I figured Leah was a pretty good early birthday present (even though we joked about me being early and going into labor on Labor Day. Ha ha!!).
I couldn't ask for a better husband (and daddy to our baby girl)!!! He is completely amazing with how much he does for both of us. Specially when he'll get up with her at night so I can sleep a little longer. Or bring her to me in the morning. It's funny because Leah will get fussy in the morning, but she doesn't want to eat....as soon as she's brought into bed with us she'll sleep another hour. We love our cuddling time with this precious angel baby. We couldn't ask for anything more. She is absolutely perfect and patient as we are adjusting to parenthood!!!
Happy Birthday, Alex!!! I love you so, so much!!! :)

I can't believe you caught that cute sneeze...twice! Baby sneezes are so fun. I'll have to try you fan technique.
