We’ve had a big couple of weeks.
Here’s a quick lowdown:
- Miss Leyba has discovered her feet! She loves playing with them and today realized just how tasty baby toes can be. Now she knows why I am constantly trying to eat them. So delicious!
- Car rides have become easy. Miss Leyba plays with her hanging stuffed ladybug toy and puts her fingers through her knit blanket and voila! She’s content. We frequently talk to each other the whole trip too, though sometimes our conversations consist solely of us blowing raspberries back and forth from the front and back seats.
- Suddenly she appears to tolerate most foods in my diet! I can’t go overboard, but small quantities of the offenders (diary, soy, corn, etc.) appear to be okay.
- I’m exercising every day now and am feeling so good. On most days Miss Leyba and I now nap together… I’m too tired to make it through the day without one nowadays.
- We’ve started taking excursions just the two of us — to Mama & Baby yoga and to the library. It is so fun to go out. We both get a bit stir-crazy hanging at home.
- Miss Leyba is really getting good at sitting up with minimal support and rolling from her back to her tummy and back again.
- Today she scooted her way across our entire bed on her tummy using her legs to propel her. The girl will be crawling soon. It’s truly terrifying.
- Mother’s Day ROCKS! We went on a picnic and visited two (!) farmer’s markets, enjoyed tasty vegetarian fare at a potluck, and spent the day with some of our favorite California mamas and kids (only some of which are pictured below):
Thank you to David and our daughter for an AWESOME weekend! I am one lucky mama.
