giggles

This video wont load into my iMovie so I can upload it.  I admit computers aren't one of my expertise. Hopefully you can still watch it this way if you want.   Leighton was being so funny the other night and just wanted to smile and play.  She gets a little distracted by the iPad because she likes to play games on it, but she was still laughing.

big!

Leighton moved out of the bassinet today. She is almost 7 months, and I know that most babies move out at 2 or 3, but she has still fit. Well,  until a few days ago. She must have grown because her legs are always flopped over the top of her bassinet this past week. Oh and her clothes are getting tight! Yeah, but Nay too. Love that she growing.  If she grows so will her heart, and maybe her hole will close.  Crossing fingers. But oh do I love and enjoy this baby.  She's such a sweet content little bugglet.  I'm making her cribbing (bumper, skirt, and quilt).  The bumper and skirt aren't finished yet, so we just knew her legs were going to get stuck in between the bars.  Oh they will with the bumper too, just a little higher. She loves to stick those little feet between things, and fall asleep.  We let her play in it to get used to it. I looked over and she's asleep, and where is her foot?

Love this girl!

daddy

Daddy came home from a meeting the other day and he had stopped at Nordstrom Rack on his way back.  It was so cute because he came home with these cute PJ's and he was excited about them.
 Tah-duh! 

They have cute monkey.

 I don't think He has ever done something like that before.  I usually pick out all my kids clothes.  If he's shopping with us he'll say......"Ya, that's cute." So it was pretty surprising he came home all "look at these cute PJ's I got Leighton."  With that excitement we better document it with some pics of her in them with bed head and all.

 and I swear she wants to crawl.  She tucks her bottom up, and tries to scooch forwards.

Umm baby girl you have to roll and sit before crawling!  She can roll on the bed, (both ways, tummy to back, back to tummy) but not the floor.  I think it's because the bed had dips that help her.  Hopefully soon.

can i get a hoot hoot!

I made it.  I know my post's didn't happen everyday, but I did 31.  I'm glad it's over. It was pretty hard to remember everyday and  I know most of my post's were seriously lacking.  I should write an earth shattering post now, and bring you all to tears. Let the world know how great it is to have a Ds baby.  But come on, I'm not an earth shattering kind of gal.  I think you can all see how much I love this girl. I will just end this month with the cutest owl.

and the hope you all were happy haunting.

Leighton actually liked dressing up.  I swear when I put her in her costume she looked at me with eyes that said.....This is fun Mom, and she smiled.  I just love this girl.

hoo, hoo

I love Etsy. I find the best stuff there, and this is the first time I have ever been let down.  I picked that costume because it was unique, one of a kind, and super cute...just like Leighty bug. Since she lied and said she was going to mail it, but never did, I just made my own.  I can guarantee nobody will have a costume like her, and I think it turned out alright.  I don't make clothes, and I have never made a costume.  For a first try, and 1 hour, it will do.

(I think one of my other kiddos messed with the glitter and it sprayed really crazy.  The photo picks up all the unevenness.  Good thing this baby supermodel isn't walking the red carpet tomorrow. Rachael Zoe would die, and not in a good way, with how it's photoing)

When she has her tights, and little shoes, I think it just might pass.  Plus Leighty looks amazing in everything. She has the cutest legs, and belly.  She'll rock it out.

good and not so good.

For some things it's good to be home.  We all really missed these two little people.

But that's probably the only reason.  I found out Leighton's costume I ordered from Etsy, isn't coming.  I still really want her to be an owl, so I'm stuck making her one.  Oh and I have a bunch of other things that have to get done this weekend too. I wish I didn't have so many responsibilities sometimes, and I want to make other things more of a priority, but I never seem to find time.  I always think if I can just get through this week, then I can do this and this like I want. Then the next week comes and it's just as busy.
