We're still here!

I'm still alive....just exhausted. I guess that's absolutely no surprise with a newborn. You really forget what that exhaustion is like. She is still precious as ever, but I'm realizing how mellow Cole was! She is a good baby, but we have had our days where is she isn't eating or sleeping, she's screaming. But, I think that's a baby for ya. Cole was seriously just super mellow. I think he was saving up all his energy for when he was older.

She is still sleeping a lot. We get about 3-4 hour stretches at night, but during the day she only goes 1.5-2 hours between feedings. She is a little piggy!! Cole was the same way. Until we started solids with Cole, he was eating every 2 hours.

Cole's 18 month (yes my baby is a year and a half!!) and Eva's 2 week check up was on Tuesday. Cole was 28 pds and 34 in!! He is my big boy. Everything looked great with him. She said at his next appt (24 months) we will be talking potty training and getting rid of the binki. GAH!! I don't know which I'm more nervous about. Eva gained a whole 15 oz in 11 days. She is definitely following in her big brothers foot steps. She was 8pds 15 oz. Everything looked great with her as well.

Jared went back to work this week. I was really nervous. I wasn't sure how I would give Cole the attention he needs and take care of Eva's needs. Jared had been doing such an awesome job of playing with Cole...all.the.time. I thought he was really going to have a hard time with his daddy not being there all the time. He was definitely looking around for him on Monday but he did such an amazing job. I am seriously so proud of him. Luckily he is very good at keeping himself entertained. He is adjusting very well so far and we have been alone for 4 days and are still doing great:)

And here are some of pictures I did of Eva. You'll see from the pics with Cole how sweet he is with her. He is so gentle and loving. I love watching him with her, it's precious.


















And the sweetest ones for last:)
