Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We are spending the weekend in Greene with my family. Rachel and Tyler are also home and Rachel found a brownie recipe online, and they decorated it for the 4th.. so here's some pictures..They had just gotten back from a 23 mile bike ride (RAGBRAI preperation) and some pictures of Leah too... she's getting so good at holding her head up! :)

Neighborhood Baby Shower

My neighborhood in Greene has always had wedding showers and baby showers for all of us neighbor kids, and this past weekend, they had one for Leah and Connor. Connor is Eric and Kristi Columbus's baby boy- just a little over 1 week younger than Leah, so we had them together to make it a little easier for everyone to get together. We had a great time like we always do, and Leah got some great gifts! THanks Deb and Astrid (and Mom) for putting it all together!!

All the great gifts!

3 months old.. a few days late!

I'm clearly in the mood to update the blog since huh? :) Anyways, Leah turned 3 months old on June 25th! Crazy how time flies. Things she can do: continue to sleep through the night! Yay! Last night she slept from 10:30-9:00 this morning! She loves to have someone talk to her and she smiles and laughs all the time. She likes to talk in her own little babbling language. She loves her playmat and her bouncy seat and tries to kick her way out of it. She's getting very good at holding her head up for long periods of time (especially to stare at a TV..little stinker) She's ALMOST rolling over.. but still working on it. She also went to her first parade during River Days and Mommy forgot her camera... oopsy. Here are some pics:

Great Grandpa Time

Like I said, we're in Greene for a couple weeks, and Great Grandpa Brinkman just can't seem to get enough of little Leah. Here was a good picture of the both of them. Leah ended up falling asleep sitting up on Grandpa's lap.. too cute..

First Swim

We are in Greene for a couple weeks, so we tried swimming for the first time.. (well, we went in Stuart once, but I forgot my camera). Leah was ready for a nap this day, and the water didn't really seem to be very fun. She just sat there looking confused at me, like, what am I doing in this cold water? :)

Happy 28th Birthday, Daddy!!!

Post #2 for the day..

So, now that I'm on vacation I apparently have too much time on my hands :) Here are some cute pictures from tonight when we got home from the baseball game..
