Remember the Mom and Baby Group I was part of while I was pregnant?! (How cool were they about inviting and welcoming me?!) Well, this past week I hosted a mini-reunion. It was the first time I had seen LeAnn and Julia since December and we had such a great time! Their babes are growing up so fast and I loved introducing Miss Leyba to them. It was wonderful reconnecting.

I can’t wait to see you guys again soon!
(I won’t be at yoga tomorrow, but maybe next Tuesday (6/3). See you there?)

Sorry for the blog break. Here’s what we’ve been doing this week:

Yep, that’s us breastfeeding in the car at the Whole Foods parking lot.

Miss Leyba is going through a growth spurt! She’s gone from eating every four hours or so during the day to eating every hour. She seems to be heading back to her normal schedule today so the spurt is probably over! I could say something flippant like, “Hallelujah,” but truthfully I’ve really enjoyed it. We’ve had so much extra cuddling time together; it’s been a blast.

Finally, here’s an up close shot of Miss Leyba’s “ladybug friend” who she loves grabbing (and putting in her mouth) in the car. This is the little guy who has made our car ride trips ever so much more pleasant.

This shot is supposed to convey her point of view when she sees him. He’s mighty big to a 3 month old. I think he looks pretty cute and friendly. She’s just crazy about him.

Here’s our girl hanging with Daddy this afternoon. I think she’s put on a pound or more this week. Look at those cheeks! (and all that drool!) She’s getting really long too and starting to grow out of her clothes. I have a whole stack to pack up and store away for the next baby. Time to break out the 9 and 12 month clothes for Miss Leyba!

We’re back in the midst of teething drama… Poor babe. We’re trying to come up with a bunch of outings to do this weekend so we can distract Miss Leyba from the pain. So much for a chill long weekend! The good news is that I have help during this time because David is off. Let’s hope this tooth comes in quickly!

Miss Leyba and I attended two mama and baby yoga classes last week. I am so enjoying rediscovering my practice and completely adore the social aspect. I’ve already met and renewed friendships with a number of awesome moms with babies Miss Leyba’s age (some of whom I attended prenatal yoga classes with).


Miss Leyba adores seeing (and smiling at) other babies and I think watching the bigger babies crawl reinvigorated her interest in trying herself (a nearly nonstop activity all week; the other day she even tried to crawl in her sleep and woke herself up!).

Look, Miss Leyba is going to be a natural yogi:

The girl loves playing with her feet! Happy baby pose (one of my favorites) is EASY for this little one. And, yes, her foot is resting ON HER SHOULDER! I wish I had that kind of flexibility.
