Lennon has been crawling for a couple weeks now. She's getting faster and faster every day. Right after she learned how to crawl she figured out how to pull herself up, so we spend a lot of time hovering around her to make sure she doesn't topple over and whack her head on the hard wood floor. Since she's able to move around and tire herself out during the day she's been falling asleep a lot easier for naps and at night (with a little help from her daddy).

We all love giving Lennon kisses and now she gives them back. We make kissy noises back and forth all day long. She also says: dada, papa, mama, baabaa, and my favorite, bad dada. I'm pretty sure she still has no idea what she's saying, but it's cute anyway.

7 months old

Just a quick update and some eye candy. Lennon 's bottom 2 teeth came in a couple weeks ago. She has been gnawing on everything!

LB has been slithering around on the floor on her belly and can get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth a little. She can also sit up by herself without her hands on the floor and without folding over onto her face! So talented!

I Like Food!

Here are Lennon's first couple of bites of food. Despite the look on her face she actually ended up enjoying her meal.

Why I Haven't Posted in Such a Long Time

click here: Ask Dr. Sears, then read #10 (she's the cuddly type) and #11. This girl keeps me busy.


Coming soon: more videos! Just as soon as Lennon gives me a couple hours to figure out our new video camera.

ps-Lennon has conquered tummy time and seems to be eager to crawl! Anyone want to make a donation to the Roomba fund?

Occupation: mommy

I quit my job! Now I get to hang out with Lennon all day, every day. I couldn't be happier. She's almost starting to make a daily routine for us, which will be nice.

We're both getting over colds, so in addition to the drool she also has a runny nose. She has some kind of liquid coming out of every possible body cavity.

Hand are now a really big deal. Looking at them, grabbing them, putting them in her mouth, and, the cutest, thumb sucking.

Tummy time is still a bit of an issue. But now she can go a few minutes with out crying and even lift her head up at a 90 degrees angle! We try every day.

Overall we're having a great time!

Happy Girl

Our happy girl is 2 months old now and has been doing some amazing things! She has found her hands, noticed her feet a couple of times, and is becoming quite a chatterbox, as you can see in this video of her talking to "the baby in the mirror". By far the most wonderful thing she has been doing is smiling when she sees Mommy or Daddy (or a bare booby).

The Girl Who Has Everything

The past few weeks we have been pretty busy introducing Lennon to some of her new friends and family. People have been asking what we still need for her. We have actually gotten everything she needs at this point. We have all the furniture, baby gear, outfits, bottles, and binkies that we can squeeze into this little house. However, the one thing that no little girl (or anyone else for that matter) can have too many of is books. I'm going to try to keep a running list of all the books in her library (look to the right of this post) so that if any of you ever want to bring her a present you will be able to pick one out that she doesn't have.

We also want to thank everyone for all the well-wishes, cards, and wonderful gifts. THANK YOU!!!
