My smile

Hannah is 7 weeks old, and last week started to really smile at us, but really her sister is the one who got the first smile. In the middle of the night she loves to only eat a little then look around for a while and last night I asked her, are you ever going to eat, or just keep mommy awake and she got the biggest grin and coo'd at me. It made my heart melt.

Lydia is starting to get then hang of having a baby in the house and her attitude is improving day by day. Which is nice for us.

Sunday Kris and I got to go out for our 1st date without the girls to celebrate my birthday. We ended up just going to lunch and sitting and talking for a few hours but it was so nice to be with just each other. Thank you Rachel!

Here are a few photos that I took to try and get her smile, I will continue to take and post if I can capture the cute thing.

6 weeks old

Today Hannah turns 6 weeks old, the time has really flown by so far. We have had our challenges of course but for the most part, we are enjoying it all. This week Hannah went to the Dr. for an issue that I had been noticing, and was diagnosed with GERD and placed on Zantac. I don't know if she is getting better or not, but some days have been great and others rough. She weighed in at 10lbs 5 oz so she is a growing baby girl!! I had my 6 week check up as well and everything looks great, I am cleared on Monday to resume normal activity, so lifting Lydia and working out (if I have energy) that was good news as well.

Lydia and I have been fighting nasty colds all week but I think we are both on the mend or I hope.

Please say a prayer for my niece Ellie, she is having some blood work done and has had a high fever for a few days.

One Month and our first haircut

4 weeks old

This week I survived my first week alone with both girls! We didn't do much but go to the library, preschool and a Dr. appt but that was fine with me. I don't think my gas tank has lasted this long since Lydia was a newborn!

I took Hannah to the Dr. on Wednesday for an eye infection. She has had it since birth and the medicine has helped clear it right up. She weighed 9lbs 5oz, which is a gain of over 1 oz a day since the last visit. She is getting chubby checks and is starting to stay more alert during the day. I think she is looking a lot like the Kamann side of the family. She slept for 5 hrs two nights in a row!!! Now lets keep this up and the brain fog might lift!

Lydia has started to adjust better now that life is back to routine, thank goodness because the 1st month was tough with her and I felt so bad for her most days.

The babe is sleeping and the 3 year old is playing so I am off to shower while Dad is on watch!
