Leslie's First Swim!

We took Leslie to the pool for the first time today. It has been really rainy here but the sun came out today so we went swimming. We have a pool at our apartment complex so we didn't even have to go far. We weren't sure what Leslie would think about the pool but she loved it. She liked to kick her legs and splash the water with her hands. We will definitely be spending a lot more time at the pool this summer, and we'll have to take her to the ocean soon too.

5 Months Old

Here are some pictures of Leslie recently. She is such a wonderful baby. She is getting big so fast. 

Bryson and Leslie on Father's Day. She LOVES to sleep on her Daddy. Look how chunky her legs are getting.

 Playing with her dress while sitting in the Bumbo.  She loves eating her dresses.

 She knows she's cute!

 I found her like this while she was playing and had to get a picture. 

 Learning how to use technology already. :)

A Productive Day

Today has been amazing! Last night was the third night in a row Leslie has slept in her crib and last night she didn't wake us up once! And she slept in until 9:30 this morning. I am so amazed at how big she is getting. I am so glad she is sleeping in her crib, but I will admit I miss being able to poke my head over the edge of my bed and seeing her cute face. :) She woke up in a happy mood this morning as usual. When I walked into her room she was playing and the minute she saw me she gave me the biggest smile. It was the perfect way to start a day.  Sometimes as a mom you have these grand plans to get things done and by the end of the day none of those things have been accomplished. It can get frustrating but today was just the opposite. Today I washed and folded all of our laundry, picked up around our apartment, dusted, cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the kitchen, made some muffins, made dinner, played with Leslie and wrote this blog all before Bryson came home from work! I mostly have Leslie to thank for my day. She played on her mat or in her bouncer happy as can be while I did the laundry and cleaned and she took two hour and a half naps today. What a wonderful baby! I am one happy Mom.

This is how Leslie sucks her thumb now. :) She doesn't suck it often but if she does she always has her hand open.
