Well, Leah is one week old today. She is doing well. We went to the doctor today and other than being a little jaundiced, she is doing great. She weighed 7lb 9.6oz today, so that's above her birth weight. Guess she's eating enough. She's a content little one and is doing pretty well on the whole sleeping thing, so that's good. She's just waking up about every 3 hours, and has been having one stretch closer to 4 hours. I'll take that! Here's a picture of her awake. To be honest, at this point, I must say Patrick gets to claim 3/4 of our kids as she looks like him in my opinion.
The boys are doing GREAT with her. Leyton is very good at enunciating her name with an emphatic LLLeah. They all like to say things like, "It's ok baby girl." "Hi baby girl." "Hi Leah." Etc. Nathaniel is such a sweet big brother. He is very protective and likes to hold her as much as he can. We were at Target the other day and he wanted to buy two outfits for "Leah Elizabeth." It was very sweet. He is always concerned with how she's doing. And then there's Jacob, who has been amazingly gentle! He says "Kisses" & puts his cheek to hers and he also pats her head very gently. He also says, "Hi baby girl." It is very cute. We really couldn't expect a better acceptance of her in my opinion!
Other than that, all else is pretty good. School continues to go well for the boys. They have really been telling some great stories lately about whatever comes to their minds. The other day, Nathaniel was telling me about how he still works at Pulte Homes and that he's busy there. But, he said he doesn't have any more mints; he ate all his mints there. (When Patrick worked at Pulte Homes, he would occasionally bring home mints for the boys, hence the story goes.)
