Sarah is one month old!

Sarah is a month old. Boy do I wish that last month of pregnancy went by as fast as this month did! My maternity leave is now half over. - sniff.

Sarah is doing great. She still wakes up once a night and as you can see she is starting to smile. She's staying awake for longer periods of time, but still sleeps much of the day.

Did you know that one month old babies have the same witching hour as two and four year olds? So, if you ever want to catch me at my worst, call or come by around 5:30 pm any day of the week. Everyone melts down at the same time. Good times.

But we couldn't have gotten a more perfect little baby.

Owen update

Here's Owen on the way to school this morning. We had the sun roof open and he thought it was too bright so I gave him my sunglasses. He loves my sunglasses. (He also loves my shoes, and make-up too!)

Owen at two is a rambunctious, loving, non-stop little boy. He loves to run, jump and play very actively. He's just got to move all the time. If things around the house get a little dull, he'll even just run into the wall - disturbing behavior when I first saw him do it - but he just thinks is the funniest thing to run into a wall and fall down.

He's a very social little boy and prefers to play with other people around rather than play solo with toys.

His vocabulary is ramping up. He has a ton of words and is getting more and more understandable.

He loves his baby sister and is very interested in her, wants to hold her, thinks the faces she makes are funny. If she's crying, he'll walk over to her and try to make her feel better.

His personality is open and loving. He gets grumpy if he's tired or hungry, but really he is such a happy joy to have around.

Look - my eyes are open! Sarah Update.

Sarah is doing great! At a little over two weeks old, she's gaining weight, starting to have more alert times and most importantly ONLY WAKES UP ONCE A NIGHT! We have been blessed with another good sleeper. I think it has to do with her lovely chubbiness - a fat baby is a sleepy baby. We are falling into a bit of a routine around here. Eric drops off the boys at Kindercare in the morning, Sarah and I hang out and do a lot of feeding, napping, diaper changing, outfit changing, laundry, and pick up the boys in the afternoon. I swear, life with an infant somehow causes strange space/time changes and by the time I am finally showered and dressed its 4pm and time to get the boys. Where does the time go?

I posted a few more pictures of Sarah at our Flickr site.

Andrew and Owen updates coming soon...!
