A Few of Her Favorite Things...

Now that she is almost three-months old, Leah's personality is starting to show. These are a few of her favorite things.

Her Daddy: As soon as David gets home, Leah follows him around with her eyes. I often catch her smiling at David when he isn't looking. He also can get her smile instantly, coo incessantly, and squeal with delight. A few weekends ago, David was watching Leah in another room, while Lisa, her roommate, and I were watching a movie. Within minutes, we could hear her excitedly talking with Daddy. Lisa looked at me and said, "She must having a great time!"



The Sleepy Wrap: At first I wasn't sure if it was going to work. It's one long piece of stretchy material that you wrap around your body. It can be a bit awkward at first, but once I got the hang of it, I loved it! Usually, I wrap Leah with her face towards my chest, and she will quickly fall asleep. This time, I decided to wrap her facing out so she could see things. I had to go in front of a mirror to make sure I got her legs in the right places. As soon as I finished, I smiled at her in the mirror, she looked at me, she looked at herself, and then she went crazy kicking her legs, smiling, and making funny faces.



The Swing: We decided not to buy a swing at first because of space issues, and bought a vibrating chair instead. We knew from the time she was a few days old that she would have probably liked a swing better. A friend picked up this swing for us at a thrift store last week. We were right. Leah loves to swing. She stays content for much longer than she does in the vibrating chair.
