One Month Old!

Last Monday, Leah turned one month of age. So technically she is now 5 weeks old. We can't believe that much time has already gone by since we brought her home. We thought it was only fair to show you some of the things that have taken place in her first month of life.

Kind of a goofy look, but she was only 3 days old...

Her onesie says, "Daddy's Little Princess". I bought it the day I found out we were having a girl.

This picture was taken when she was 6 days old. I love this!

First bath!

At the Michigan 125th Anniversary Parade; Kirk's parents, Aunt Barb and my mom.


Leah was really getting into it, as you can see. :) I went to the Michigan 100th Anniversary parade when I was one year old, so found it only appropriate to take my own daughter.

Leah was baptized on July 27 during the church service at Living Faith. She wore my baptismal gown and a little necklace given to her by her godparents, Andy & Monica, who couldn't be with us at the baptism as Monica was due to have a baby soon after!

Grandma Elaine made her a cake.

Will, Leah & I spent two days at Bible Camp with Kirk (near Devils Lake). Will enjoyed the playground equipment and a sailboat ride.
This little outfit matched her blanket perfectly!
"Tummy Time"
I had forgotten how small a baby's foot can be :)
Kirk and I went to a Fargo Moorhead Redhawks game sans children. We had to buy standing room only tickets when we got there, but were able to find a place to sit as the stadium cleared out after the postponed game from the previous evening was over. It was fun!

William put my Boppy pillow on his head and said, "I'm a sunshine!"
Leah's usual expression of surprise, usually in response to something goofy her brother does.

Looks like everything is going well. With the pictures you have you make it look so easy having two. How's Will doing being a big brother? He seems to be getting along great!
