Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  Thank you to each of you for your love and support through 2011.  It was simply an amazing year for us both.  It will be a hard year to top.  We look forward to ringing in the new year with our new addition Leighton.  She is truly a blessing and has brought us even closer together.  We can't wait to continue to watch her grow and change.  Each moment with her is special and a gift that we will be forever grateful for. 

To Put Size into Perspective

Leighton has been growing A LOT.  We can tell she has gained weight and length but I was having a hard time remembering how small she was when she was born compared to her size now at 7 weeks old.  The day we brought her home from the hospital it was chilly outside, so we attempted to put her in bear suit for warmth but we quickly saw it ate her up.  This week at the beach we put her in her bear suit and it fit perfectly.  Check out the difference for yourself.  What a big and strong girl we have!

 Leighton quickly realized how tiring it is to open gifts.  She ended up sleeping through the rest of Christmas morning.

One Month Picture

Sweet Leighton turns one month!  She is stretching to show everyone just how tall she is.

Wiggle it...just a little bit!

Leighton has really started to move and groove.  She loves to lay on her play mat and kick her legs and move her arms around.  Shake, rattle and roll Leighton!

Sometimes all she needs is a little cuddle time!

Bath Time

Naptime

Leighton now weighs 10.9 pounds and is 22 inches long!  What a big girl, it is hard to believe she is already 3 weeks old.  Growing so much makes her one tired young lady.
