Happy Halloween!

Leila has decided to strut her stuff this Halloween. Thanks to Aunt Lauren and Uncle David for the great costume.





Sleeping on dad is always a favorite pastime.

Getting bigger all the time

We stopped by the lactation clinic a couple days ago, and can report that Leila now weighs between 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 7lbs. 12oz., depending on an empty or full tummy. Tonight is mom's birthday (remember to call tomorrow if you haven't yet!), so she's out with her friends, while dad and daughter enjoy some time on the activity mat, a bath -- yes, you read that right, dad managed a bath -- and some blog posting. Enough chit-chat, here are some pictures:

Living in Bolivian?

Unlike Mike Tyson, when we say Leila is living in Bolivian, we really mean it. Here she is in her two Alpaca sweaters that her Uncle Michael got her during his travels in Bolivia:





And here she is from last week's one month checkup. Our little girl is up to 19 3/4 inches (10th percentile) and 6 lbs., 12 1/2 oz. (5th percentile), and got a totally clean bill of health. Basically, she's little and practically perfect in every way.

Granpa Lou and Grandma Elaine

Sorry for the delay, but we're catching up here at It's a Peanut, and finally posting some pictures from Grandpa Lou and Grandma Elaine's visit. The former enjoyed singing with Leila, who sometimes decided to harmonize along:



while the latter tried a calmer approach:



Needless to say, a good time was had by all:



Coming up soon: more photos, and some great new videos too...
