Growing in leaps & bounds

Leah had her 2 week doctor's visit today. She is up to a whopping 7lbs, 11 oz - which is fantastic. She has also grown more than an inch in length. The doctor declared her "fit as a fiddle", and released her until September 21, unless something come up between now & then. Below are few more photos from the past few days:

Here is Leah with Honey on her second Shabbat dinner at Bubbe & Honey's house.


Leah has had a bunch more visitors this week. Here she is with her Auntie Anne McNeil, and cousin Jonathan. Other visitors included: cousins Andy, Amanda & Chuck, as well as family friends Lou & Paula. What can we say, this girl is popular.



Finally, here are some pics of the princess with her eyes open. Anyone who has tried to photograph a newborn lately knows what a challenge this is! Her eyes aren't open often, and when they are, the camera flash makes them close pretty fast. Hopefully we'll get some better pictures in the next few weeks - just need to take advantage of that natural sunlight when it isn't 900 degrees outside!



Leah's Daddy had to go back to work this week. He would much rather be home with Mommy & Leah, and they would rather have him home too! He will be working for about 3 weeks, then will have 2 weeks off to play with Leah when she is a little more awake. The doctor said that after 4 weeks, Leah can start to make bigger ventures out of the house - so we will start planning visits to the offices of United Way & CNN around that time. In the mean time, Leah & Mommy are looking for lunch or coffee dates, so give us a call! Keep your fingers crossed that we will be able to post photos of the furnished nursery by the end of next week. It's a REALLY long story, but I swear I ordered the furniture in plenty of time!! Hope to see and/or hear from you soon! - J
