What can I say?

My poor child... Actually, on really bright days, these help her to fall asleep outside. Plus, we're avoiding those UVA/UVB rays - as I rationalize the torture of my child... :)

BumGenius

So, this is also not terribly recent, but I need to post about our diapers at some point... Here Leah is sporting her BumGenius diaper, and we are very proud to be cloth diapering. Given that Leah was born so big, she fit into these at 2 weeks old (around 9lbs or so) and they are the best we've tried so far. They tend to make her bum a bit round, making her all the more adorable. Because Jersey has no diapering services, we do wash these ourselves. Even Jim is on board with these and remarked that he loves that we never have to run to the store for more - they're always available and always fit! More to come, I'm sure.

Rutgers Gardens

This is just a nice photo from our afternoon at Rutgers Gardens. There wasn't much in bloom that day, since it was still in early April, but this tree was huge and blooming! Jim and I frequently came to the gardens back when we actually lived in New Brunswick, and love that we can now easily come to visit. Leah really loves being outdoors, and this was just the first of many days now that the weather is nicer...

3 months and then some...

So, this is overdue, but at 3 months old, Leah weighed in at 13lbs, 3oz. She's getting quite hefty, and certainly isn't a 'little' baby anymore. Aunt Lauren came to visit this weekend for our first Mother's Day, and we were all SO excited. I know that we have lots of new pics, so will get those posted as soon as we can!

We also survived Jim's second trip to California this last week. He was only gone for 3 nights, but we missed him terribly. Leah managed to sleep 8 hours straight, which we love! She did, however, wake up at 4:45 on Saturday morning. It's amazing how many people show up for McDonald's breakfast that early! Yum! Actually, it was a beautiful day out, and being up that early made for a nice, relaxing, long day. I don't want too many more of them THAT early, but it really was a pleasant morning.
