Firsts.....

Well January was a month of firsts.
On January 16th we heard Lena laugh for the first time. It just makes your heart melt when you hear that little giggle.
Then on Januray 27 I walked into her room (at school) and she was rolling over, back to stomach. I was so excited!! One of the college girls that helps out during the day said she can roll from back to stomach and then stomach to back. I have only seen her go back to stomach and she is so hardheaded/tired when she gets home she hasn't even shown Lubin yet.
Then last night, January 28th, she found her feet! So all morning she has been trying to pull her socks off and she thinks it is so funny. I videotaped her last night talking and laughing so I will try to load them later tonight (if Lena will allow it).

I hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend.

Lena is getting so big. I cannot believe how fast she is growing. Everyday it seems like she does something new. Lubin and I heard her laugh for the first time today. It was so cute!! We tried to get her to do it again but she only did it once.
Here are some pictures of her that I had take with my phone.

Lena and her play gym

Here is Lena playing with her play gym. She would get so excited when the toy would move. She played with at for atleast 15 minutes. I just loved watching her. She has grown so much in these 3 weeks. Hope y'all enjoy!!!

Photo Shoot

Lena had her first photo shoot today. She did so good. She did not cry till the end when she got tired. Here are a some from Leah's camera (the photographer). I have a couple on mine that I was just playing around with but have not added them yet. She did a WONDERFUL job! Thanks Leah!!

I was looking back at some of the pictures and I just cannot believe how much I (Lena) grew. The first picture is me at 10 weeks and the second is the night before I went into labor.

Here are just a few pictures of Lenas first few days. Everytime I try to put pictures on here, Lena has different plans for me. I will try to get more on here later.
