Linnea had a doctor's appt this past Monday and she was 19 lbs 6 ozs and 26 3/4" long. She ate meat (prime rib) for the first time this week and now enjoys plain yogurt, butternut squash soup, and bananas mixed with pretty much anything. She now eats solid foods about 3 times a day between nursings. She is learning to drink water from a cup too and has gotten soaked a few times now. She isn't crawling yet but moves along the floor to get her toys and blocks. She can stand on the couch against the back for a bit and then falls backwards or sits promptly down finding this repetitive exercise quite funny. She babbles a lot right now putting different sounds and syllables together forming some weird baby language that no one can understand. She has said mama and dada but doesn't understand that I am mama and Jeff is dada yet. She loves to laugh from her belly and this has got to be the most favourite activity - watching Jeff make Linnea laugh hysterically and other tender moments where she'll just hang on to his finger and look at him with a big smile on her face. It makes me cry!
I am enjoying this week a lot better than last week. Linnea is getting back into a schedule and is much happier during the day and I am finally getting some stuff done around the house and even accomplishing work. I finally uploaded some new maternity photos I took before Christmas and their newborn photos will be online soon too. The snow continues to fall here and it's quite cold. I have one last session shooting for the 2009 Edmonton Symphony Orchestra brochure this coming Friday and then the post production process begins. I then have 2 corporate sessions booked next week and clients coming over to look at wedding albums to order. It's getting busy again and I'm hoping to get my new website up and running by the end of the month as well and get my books together for my bookkeeper who has also had her 2nd baby recently so I better get on that.
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Years. We had a lovely time seeing my mom's side of the family this Christmas and seeing my entire extended family. I am also excited that 3 of my cousins got engaged to be married over Christmas as well so it'll be a fun 2009 with family and client weddings!!!
