I can't believe that September is already 2/3 of the way gone. Where did the month go? If I had to venture a guess I would say that September went into Leah's stomach. She has grown so much this month that everyday when I come home from work I think that she is bigger than the day before.
At her doctor's appointment today Leah tipped the scales at 11lbs 1oz and was 23 inches long. She gained a whole pound in the last month and now she is right where a two month old ought to be.
Here is a sampling of all the fun stuff we have done this month!
A quick family picture while visiting friends in Hull
Spiked hair after a bath
Mugging for Dad!
Leah's first trip to Bugaboo (with Grandpa, of course!) According to Grandpa Leah owes her existence to the Moose Juice at Bugaboo
"Let's go for a walk!"
Our evening walk with the dogs
Gangsta!
Leah recently participated in her first 5k! The whole family took part in the first annual Jamie Fund Walk in Mansfield, MA. Even though Leah cried for half a mile we still clocked in at just under an hour!

Jen's first week home alone w/ Leah went well but by the time the weekend rolled around she was ready to get up and out of the house! It rained on Saturday so today we took Leah and the dogs to the DeCordova Museum Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA. The weather was great, the walk was nice, the art was good, the dogs were well behaved, and Leah slept the entire time. Pictures below!

Leah is one month today! She has already grown so much. Jen and I are waiting for her first real smile (she seems to be really close!)
In other news, Leah had some visitors this week. Specifically Aunt Shannon stopped by on her way home from Boston and Uncle Dan and Ashley came over for burgers!

Becky and Dan brought their son, and Leah's first suitor, Caiden to visit the other day. Caiden was never as small as Leah (he was a big 11 pound baby and is still a big guy at 11 months) so I think Becky and Dan enjoyed resting their arm muscles while holding our little one. :)

We were very happy that Mike, Cheryl, and Tyler chose to make our house one of their destinations during their recent vacation. They swung in for a few hours between stops to meet Leah and so that Tyler could demonstrate how much work we are going to have to do over the next year to baby proof our house!
Leah was an angel for Cheryl
I only recently learned that Mike has a tendency to drop babies. Had I known, I never would have endangered Leah!
Very cute
Enough of this baby stuff, off to hang out with the dogs!
It has been too long since I posted an update about little Leah! She is doing great. She has had lots of visitors and has been getting lots of mail (thank you, everybody.) Its a good thing you can't spoil infants (I'm told that you really can't spoil them the first 3 months) because if you could, Leah would be a very very spoiled child :)
Leah loves Christian!
Andy looks like a natural
Proud papa
Nana had a great time reciting nursery rhymes to Leah
Great Grandma
Great Grandpa
I think that grandpa is going to spoil you, Leah.
