Leah Marie joined our family on Monday, July 16th at 1:13 pm. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 1/2" long. She is the spitting image of her big brother, Chase! She is a very good baby that understands that life at this point is all about eating and sleeping.
Chase has taken over the roll of big brother with gusto. He has been a huge help running and getting diapers and wipes as well as helping with baths.
My mom and dad came on Sunday night to watch Chase. They did a great job learning how to use his pump. I'm forever grateful for their help. It was hard leaving my "baby" to have my baby, but they made it much, much easier.
We feel very blessed to have two such wonderful children in our lives.
Chase loves to hold and kiss his little sister.
Chase is ready to show Leah her room.
Leah Marie is named after her two grandmothers, Connie Lee and Diane Marie.
Leah is also in honor of Grandpa LeRoy, and uncles Rodney Leon and Todd Lee. Marie is also for her cousin Brianna Marie.

Congratulation! We are so happy for you guys, and so excited to welcome another member of the family.
I'm bringing supper over tonight, in case Gary forgot to tell you.
Oops. Forgot my "s" on "congratulations".
Congratulations on the new baby. Leah Marie is absolutely lovely and I'm sure makes your family complete. Enjoy this time with her - as you found out with Chase they grow up way too fast. Julie
