The Robitaille Family

7 Months Old!

Summer is over...its back to the grind! The girls are back in school, track, soccer, tutoring, religious education, violin, cello and every thing else that they are into!!! We are off to a great start, we haven't missed anything yet ;) Leah is growing and growing. She is officially rolling over!!! and she just cut her first tooth. She has handled it fairly well..she can get a bit cranky every now and then, but she is surviving :) Its been a busy month and Leah has had many "firsts"....here is what we have been up to....

Jake and I are playing on a Flag Football Team for our work, this was our first game....Jake throws the touchdown pass......

....and Jen catches it! YAY! Hopefully we will have many more of these plays!!!

(Maybe I can figure out how not to look like such a "girl" when I catch it?)

Leah is 6 Months Old!!!

I can not believe that summer is almost over! We have had a wonderful August :) Renee volunteered for a week of Vacation Bible School...She loved the three year old class, they wore her out! Renee and Jasmine have been gearing up for travel soccer. The season starts with the Toys for Tots Tournament on Labor Day weekend. Here comes the craziness!!! It is well worth it, we have lots of fun :) When school starts, Renee will be trying out for the track team (which won regionals last year - Renee came in 2nd in her event...the 800) and Jasmine will be trying for a spot on the volleyball team.

We also took a 10 day vacation in Massachusetts. It was so nice to be with the girls and do nothing but play! Normandy Farms kept them busy everyday....scavenger hunts, candy bar bingo, family softball, soccer, kickball, ping pong, swimming, shuffleboard, dodgeball, carriage rides, painting ceramics, making t-shirts - you name it, they did it! Enjoy the pictures! Hope everyone is doing well!

Here she is....1 month old!

...5 months later, 11 lbs more lovable and 6 1/2 inches taller

...and whatever is in her hands reach she will try to eat!!!

she is a trooper - 3 shots for her 6 month check up (poor baby)

Leah loves the octopus

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.
