Well if you can believe it, Melanie was one month old yesterday!! And for her birthday she gave ME a present-the first four hours of sleep I've gotten at one time since she was born! Yay. She's getting bigger and fatter. We're starting to get in some sort of pattern with sleeping...she's sleeping in her crib.
Grandma's here!!! Thank goodness. Grandma has helped out a lot and, well, we just like having her around. =D Unfortunately for her, she came during the coldest time of year, it's been hovering round -20 since she got here, until today when it started snowing and "warmed up" to 10. =D
I've started school and I'm super busy! Chris is busy back at work. Zach's still in school for now, we'll see how that goes. All in all we're kinda just in survival mode for now until things settle down...which I predict will be about May or so. Maybe my blog posts will be better by then.
Such a sweet little girl. Nothing is so sweet as a peacefully sleeping baby!
Whacha doin' mama?
Grandma has her taking a paci, but she doesn't take it for me much...I think she's holding out for the real thing! lol
Naked baby!
She's not so much sitting up as she is stuck like that, lol!
Grandma took Zach to McD's after he got his haircut. Yes it's severe, but the boy's hair grows like weeds! I forgot to tell them to leave him something up front so he's got nothing. It looks weird b/c the very front of his hairline is blonde so it looks like there is no hair there.
Yummy french fries!
See how badly he needed that haircut?
Sweetie!
Must be something interesting going on over there.
There's a Grandma with her newest Grandbaby. For those that don't know, this is my Mom's fourth grandchild (three girls and one boy)-and she's only 48! We're keeping her busy!
There's that paci again!
Don't worry, we're still nursing. We are also pumping so I can get some stuff done...and get a nap or two while mom is here!
That's how Melanie likes to sleep-head all to the side...you'd think it was uncomfortable, but she doesn't think so.
That's a big girl...she's pretty good at lifting her head these days. She's very curious about everything around her. She spends a good 20-30 minutes checking stuff out while laying by herself when she's awake.
Wow, look how tan Grandma looks compared to us. Showoff...
That is my ridiculously handsome little boy!! He's still doing well with Melanie. Doesn't appear to be jealous or regressing or anything like that. Just typical Zach. He likes to give Melanie kisses...and when he takes a bath he has cups of coffee that he serves and he always saves one for Melanie. =D My only problem is he calls her him...I can't convince him she's a her. lol
Me and my kids. I still can't believe that word is plural!
Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!
Hanging with Grandma!!
