Little Lulu

Once again I am neglecting my housework to post. Our home is in a bit of an upheaval as we move everyone around. We FINALLY finished Abi's room in the basement on Saturday and so moved Abi 's bed into her new room that night. Last night Kris set up Leah's crib in her new room, Abi's old room, and so she moved from her cradle in our room to her new room. Today we are moving Abi's toys and odds and ends to her room and the rest Leah's stuff into her room. Abi also gave her toy organizer to Tal so that moved to his closet and Leah inherited Tal's toy box. So we are doing the shuffle. Below is a picture of Abi's new room. My handsome husband worked sooooo hard. He dug the hole for the egress window, (we had A-Core cut it out), put the new window and well in place, scraped off the old terrible texture, re-drywalled the exterior wall, taped and textured the whole room, cased and trimmed the window, primed and painted the room and trim, and hung the blinds. I put up the ballet slippers border:) Great job Honey. Abi is quite thrilled with her new room. Once we get it cleaned up, I'll post some more pics.

Little Leah or Lulu as we call her turned 5 months last week. Time is flying by soooo fast. This is a pic of her in her Halloween kitty outfit from Nana Meek. Her 4 month Dr's appt was a little late but she is growing and growing. She is 25 1/2 inches and 11 lb 15 oz. She is 75% for height and 5% for weight. Long and skinny, who would have guessed in this family (Mom not included). She is such a delightful baby now. Her two teeth are in well and she loves to eat rice cereal and little bites of bread at lunch off mom's sandwich.

She loves to play games like patty cake, and peek a boo, and play with her toys, especially her zebra rattle and linking rings. But her favorite game is pulling up to a stand on the couch. She just grins because she is so big.

She loves us to sing songs to her and is getting better about riding in the car. She will be content for 10-15 minutes now as long as she's not tired. Leah is sleeping better at night as well. There have even been a few nights recently that she slept until 5:00 am before waking to nurse. She ends up in bed with us about 5:00 in the morning, she wants to be carried around to be in the middle of what everyone is doing, and she thinks that she is the cutest ever and we should all pay attention to her all the time. Lulu sure is spoiled but I think that means well loved.
