The Robitaille Family

5 Months Old

We have had a wonderful month, it is hard to believe that July will be coming to an end soon. Leah is growing like a weed! She is up to almost 18 lbs now. She started eating rice cereal about 3 weeks ago and is really enjoying it. We plan on starting her on veggies soon. Leah still has not figured out how to roll over, but is trying to master sitting up! She is really into the dog now and keeps her eye on him all the time. When she starts moving, Mac is going to be in trouble!

Leah was baptized on the 18th. It was a very beautiful day. Family and friends came to celebrate. The bonnet you will see Leah wearing is a gift from my mom. It is a bonnet for baptism that turns into a hanky for her wedding day. The dress that Leah is wearing is from 1909. It has been passed down in my mother’s family. We believe, my Grandmother was the first to wear it. I wore it, as well as Renee and Jasmine. After church, everyone came over for dinner.

4 Months Old!

Leah is now 4 months old! Jake took her to the doctors yesterday, she is 15lbs 8oz and is 26 inches long! She likes to babble and make crazy loud noices....hopefully soon she will be able to list rolling over as one of her talents!

Below are lots of pictures and videos from the last months events...ENJOY!!!!

Leah got a new walker...she doesn't care about any of the toys on it...she just likes eating the sides of her seat!

Renee was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society on June 15th!

We had our family pictures taken at a Winery on Sunday. I can not wait to see them! Here are a few I took when we were done. She loves sticking her tongue out!

Renee's team won 2nd place in the same tournament for the U13 Division . The girls worked really hard and lost in the last 90 seconds of the game. They played all 5 games, with 11 players, after losing their only sub in the first game of the tournament! They were amazing!!!

3 Months Old

I am back to work and things are going well. I miss Leah during the day and can't wait to get home and see her. She is into her routine...up at 5:00am, dad takes her to Grandma's and Papa's and she gets spoiled all day and I pick her up around 5:00pm. She generally will stay up until 8:00pm, but every now and then she will have an earlier night. She is about 12 lbs now and is starting to wear little dresses with the nice weather. They are much nicer then the sleepers that she has been wearing because she has been to small to fit anything else!! She even fits her Red Sox outfit!!!! Everyone is doing well: Jake is playing flag football and softball. I'm back in the gym again enjoying my classes. Renee and Jasmine are well into their travel soccer seasons. The next couple of weeks are going to be crazy...we have had so much rain, we have lots of games to make up! On April 25th, Jake and I celebrated our First Anniversary. Grandpa watched Leah while we went out for a nice dinner at Filamena's in Georgetown. The food was delicious and the weather was wonderful. Afterwards, we snuck in a few games of bowling before picking up Leah...I looked awesome in my strapless dress and bowling shoes....we had a great time :) We were lucky to have a visit from Memere at the beginning of the month. Her flight arrived just in time for our company picnic. Jake and I played in the volleyball tournament as Jasmine tried to win every prize there was for the kids games! The weather held up for a nice day of fun. Renee was not able to make the picnic, she went with her middle school orchestra to Busch Gardens. The orchestra was hand picked to play down there in front of judges and her school took 1st place!!! Only one mishap for the day...all the kids got caught in the rain and they had to drive back 3 hours in soaked clothes...poor kids! This last weekend was Mother's Day and My Birthday. The family took great care of me (as always!) Everyone got together at our house for dinner and celebration. Jeanine did a great job with her annual gift...I love my potted flowers and plant! Without Jeanine, the deck would be so dull ;)...now we just have to keep them alive! Thank you everyone for the thoughtful cards and gifts. On Friday, May 15th, Jeanine graduated from George Mason! I made t-shirts for everyone to wear to her ceremony...each had a message to Jeanine on the back and a picture of her on the front with their school mascot! We had a good time and finished off the day with a nice dinner at DAKS Grill! Also, CONGRATS to Alycia, Jake's sister....she graduated from the Community College of Rhode Island as a Respiratory Therapist! We are so proud of them both!

2 Months Old!!

She is getting so big already!!! She is starting to smile and is into a pretty good routine. I dropped her off at Grandma's two days this week to see how she would do (I think she was better for them then she is for us!) Its hard to believe that my maternity leave is over and its time to go back to work..I will miss being home with her everyday!

We took a trip to Massachusetts during Renee and Jasmine's Spring Break. We had a great time and Leah was introduced to all of her new family and friends! The girls and I drove home by ourselves (Jake had flew home to go back to work early in the week) and things went great, Leah wasn't toooooo cranky and I managed to stay awake with two huge lattes!

Good News...Renee and Jasmine both made Potomac Middle Schools soccer team!!!! We are very proud of them!!! It is going to be a busy Spring (they are also on travel teams as well.) Wish us luck!!!
