Two months

Leah is two months old (yesterday), but today makes it nine weeks. She is starting to coo and make cute baby noises. She smiles all the time. She is adorable.

She has only ever nursed and so today, I pumped (TMI, I know) and gave her a bottle. She looked at me like, "what the crap?" and then proceeded to gag. We'll stick with nursing for a little bit longer. Which, by the way, I am very proud of myself for. Nursing isn't my favorite thing to do, and it's a little foreign because my mom bottle fed her kids. With Addie, from the very start I gave her a bottle with formula a few times a day, and nursed too, and I only made it until 3 months. But I am feeling good this time around. And I LOVE our middle of the night feedings when it is just the two of us.

Addie has been so funny lately. She just does cute little things or says funny words. I love when she wears my heels around the house. She is also very into coloring and dancing. We just rented Rio (very cute) and she danced for most of the movie. We love all her spunk! She stayed in nursery on Sunday for almost a whole hour! She has been going to nursery since February and has always gone with one of us. We haven't had a nursery leader since the end of March, and they finally called one (thank goodness), so in the mean time, Mike and I have been helping out. I am usually in there anyways because of Primary. So, Sunday was a huge success for us!

I love how much my girls love each other. At night when we are putting Addie to bed, I let them cuddle while we pray and sing. Leah just looks at Addie the whole time and Addie points out Leah's body parts and gives her hi-fives. Addie is always so concerned for her sister; it is so sweet.

  2. Nursing is the best at that early age! I loved it with Brin but she started to wean herself around 6-7 months, and I still feel guilty and sad about it. So stupid huH??? Brin was just such an active little babe that nursing just was too much work when she could down a bottle in 3 minutes flat. Sooo anyways, tmi?? lol

    Leah is so beautiful. PS I love her name too. Leah is on my baby girl name list!
