leah, you want some tea?

bumbo chair...best thing ever created, well at least for this child. she wants to be in the middle of everything. aubrey likes that she can have tea with her sister and i love that they are entertained and my hands are free. leah is such a joy to have around. she smiles every time you talk to her....and even if she just thinks you are talking to her. she has really fallen into a routine, which is awesome because now i have some clue of what she needs instead of the guessing game. you know where you try everything (change diaper, swaddle, hold, rock, lay down, pick up, gas medicine, swing, sling.... etc.) and eventually something works but you are not really sure which one. she is so easy to get down to sleep now (at home) just swaddle her, put her pink blankie by her nose and she out in seconds. she's been taking good naps in her crib and is wonderful at night.... still gets up once or twice, but always goes back down right away. as i write this i wonder if i am jinxing myself and what kind of night is ahead of me.
