leah bean

well, it has been a little over two months since the arrival of our "bean"... and already i cannot imagine what life was like without her. i have vague memories of sleeping atleast 8 hours in a row, but they are just a distant memory at this point. leah is growing like crazy... she's finally put on a little weight and added a couple inches to her petite frame. at her one month doctors visit she was 7 lbs 5 oz. and at this last appointment she was 8 lbs 9 oz. yeah! we made it out of newborn clothes. aubrey had the cutest little pair of jeans when she was in 0-3 month clothes and i kept trying to put them on leah, they just fell off. finally they at least stay on a little better.

as you notice i finally got the camera out at the right time and caught her beautiful little smile. you may notice the toy on her head, this was courtesy of big sister aubrey who thought the toy made a great hat for leah.

we are starting to fall into a routine here at the o'malley house... one that has both kids in bed and unconscious by 8:00 (most nights) PRAISE THE LORD. leah will sleep from about 8 to 2 and then it's a hit or miss what she will do the rest of the night. now if i was wise i should just climb in bed when i put her down at 8 and get the full 6 hours, but most nights i don't get into bed until 11. silly me. maybe tonight i will go to bed by 9. maybe.

there is not much to brag about at 2 months of age. she does "talk" a lot. making all those adorable baby noises that make you smile. i just look at her and say, "is that so? tell me more" and giggle at the fact that she really thinks she is saying something. so cute!

frankly, the kid is just adorable. i think we'll keep her.
