Two Firsts for Leah

On Saturday, Leah had two firsts: her first bottle and her first time in the crib. She has been nursing so well that we decided to try giving her a bottle this weekend. For her very first bottle, we decided that this big and important job should fall to her big brother. So Cameron fed the first couple of ounces of Leah's first bottle to her. He was very proud to do it, but then pretty quickly got bored when he realized how slow she eats! So Daddy got to take over for the rest of the bottle.

I love how Leah is looking up in this picture like, "What is going on?"
Cameron was concentrating really hard to make sure he did it right
He was really proud, but also very serious about it
Daddy's turn!
He was a pro, remembering how to feed a little one
Cameron wanted one more turn at the end of the bottle and gave Leah the last little bit

The other big first was the first time Leah went in her crib. We hadn't put it together until this past weekend because we didn't want Cameron to get confused or upset or think the baby was taking his old bed. So we waited until he was ready and asking about where her crib was, which was just this past week. Cam and Daddy took the crib out of Leah's closet and put it together. Cam was a great helper to Tim, holding the pieces in place so that Daddy could screw it together. After it was done, he wanted to get in with Leah and show her how it was done. It is important for big brothers to show their little sister things like that!

Leah in her crib - she looks so tiny! She won't actually sleep in the crib for another month or two, but it is nice having it together in the nursery.
Hey Leah, this is your crib
How are you, baby?
A kiss for my little sister!
And then they both got out and Cam wanted to hold Leah. This picture cracked me up because it kind of looks like she is levitating!
