Leah at 3 months

Little Leah is growing up so fast. Again I was trying to coax out one of her sweet smiles, but with no luck. Her favorite times are bath time and at night when I strip her down to her onsie and let her kick with her diaper off. Then we get lots of smiles and coos, but I'm not going to post those pics of her. (She would curse me when a teenager.) This nifty seat is called a Bumbo and my awesome sister, Kalene, bought it for her. Thanks, sis :) Leah likes to sit up in it where she can see the action. She will watch me make meals or do the dishes. But we have to move fast because she only likes it for about 20 minutes. Then she can really set up a wail. Leah is a very opinionated baby, she is a Meek after all. And if she isn't getting exactly what she wants she will let you know, very loudly. Leah LOVES to be held and carried around. Thank goodness for the front pack my sister lent me. She also likes to play "So Big" games where we hold her arms and pull up to a sitting position or where we help her stand. She does NOT like to be on her tummy though. And she HATES to ride in the car. She will scream an entire care ride. Luckily the grandparents are only 15-25 minutes away because anything longer would drive mom completely insane. I'm only partially there now. I don't even have to put her in her seat, simply going into the garage and opening the door of the van will set her off and the wailing begins. She takes about 3 naps a day and we are slowly working into a general schedule. I wish I could say that she is sleeping through the night but unfortunately her ear infection really set her back and she is playing catch up on her feedings. We are back to every 2 to 2 1/2 hours through the night. I'm getting pretty worn down so I hope that she will chub up quick . Kris calls her Leah Lou or Lou Lou. When she's happy she really is a cutie and we are so glad to have her.
