The Princess and the Peanut

Here's a photo from last weekend - as you can clearly see I have lost the Princess battle. We got all of these items as favors at a friend's third birthday party. The only good thing is that they were all from the $1 bin at Target and don't seem to have a long life expectancy.

Here's another photo of our little peanut. Actually she's not that little..at two weeks she weighed five ounces less than Abigail at two months. Auntie Ruth and Mr. Adam gave her the cutie pie outfit. She's sleeping in 4-5 hour stretches at night, which is great, although she likes to be up for two hours at a time before she will get back to sleep. I won't complain though because she is a very good baby.

Two Weeks

Last Friday Olivia had her two week checkup and weighed in at 9 pounds 2 ounces. After Abigail, who was always in the 5%, it is sort of strange to have one that is in the 80% for weight and 97% for height. I am hoping that she continues to gain weight well over the next few months so that we can skip all of the drama that we went through with Abigail at three months!

I have been so thankful for help over these past few weeks. We had a week of meals from our Sunday School class, Jeremy's mom came for a week, and now my mom is here for a month. My sisters also visited this weekend with their boyfriends and we have had lots of great family times together. I am feeling pretty good and getting naps most days, which has been a blessing, and Olivia is doing 4-5 hour stretches at night. Abigail is doing okay in her new role. I do have to watch out for her because she will be really gentle and sweet to the baby, but then all of a sudden gets too rough. This morning we had to do some discussion on why it wasn't a good choice to bite the baby's leg. It wasn't a hard bite, I think she was just testing boundaries, but a little scary nonetheless.
