Hey Everyone!!!

The past few weeks have flown by. Leila is getting so big and she changes just about everyday. She can just about hold up her head now and she is also tracking things in the room. We have figured out she loves Luke's computer screen. It has a lot of bright colors and she loves to stare at it.

On Friday I took her into the doctor because she had been really fussy in the evenings. She has had gas really bad as well. They ended up giving her Zantac for acid reflux. So far, it has really helped. She still has gas but she's not spiting up anymore. Overall, she seems a lot more comfortable. While we were at the doctor they weighed her. She is 9 pounds 4 ounces! She had jumped from the 15th percentile (from when she was born) to the 50th percentile. The doctor was very please. Here are a few pictures from this week...

Last night I bundled up Leila because it was raining outside. She wasn't too happy about it... she does not like putting on a jacket. She just got done fussing and spit out her binky... we thought it was too cute so, Luke took a picture

On Mother's day weekend, Leila took her first trip to Silver Dollar city. We were there with Mel and May, Josh, Liz, Elena, and my mom. The day went really well. The weather turned out to be nice and both babies were great!

My first Mother's Day went well this year. Grandma and Grandpa Baldwin watched Leila while Luke took me out to a nice dinner and a movie. It was the VERY first time I had left Leila. I cried saying goodbye and all the way to dinner. After I got to dinner and was distracted, I was ok. But, I was glad to head home and hold my sweetheart. She did very well and I know she had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

This weekend I left Leila with Daddy all alone for the first time. I had a bachelorette party to attend. It didn't go so well... Luke ended up picking me up at 11:00 because Leila wanted her mommy. Apparently, she cried from the time I left until Luke picked me up. She is for sure a mommy's girl! I hope she grows out of this though. It's already hard enough to leave her but knowing she's upset the whole time makes it worse. Luke has been spending more time with her this weekend so hopefully with him trying to interact with her more, she will become more at ease with being left with him.
