Eli and I ate breakfast together while Hailey was still sleeping. Eli is getting really good with his spoon. He hardly spills any of his cereal and milk now when he eats. :)
After breakfast we went in to check on sister. I love our Arm's Reach mini co-sleeper. We used this in our room for the first 2 months with Eli and it is one of my favorite baby purchases we made. It is so convenient because it pulls right up beside our bed at the height of the bed so I don't even get up at night to feed her! We bought it at Babies R Us and you can find it here. Eli always wants to give Hailey some sort of toy so today he took in one of his stackable cups for her.
Look how happy she was to get that cup!
It was a great day and we even managed to run a few errands in the afternoon after Eli's nap. I am getting more comfortable managing both kids when we are out but still have a hard time if Eli isn't cooperating (ie. when he decides he is done walking and takes a seat in the middle of the parking lot!).
Hailey is growing a little each day and becoming more alert. She looks different to me in these pictures from when Eli was a baby so it will be interesting to see her change in the coming months and see who she looks like!
Overall, I really feel like I am thriving more than just surviving. I love being a mom and having two is twice as nice. :) However, tomorrow Marc is going to watch the kids for a little while. I plan on running around town for a few hours for some time by myself so that I continue to have these warm and fuzzy feelings about my children. Ha! I am so glad we are a team in this adventure!
Steph, you are doing a really great job. I can't believe the change in Hailey. She is so alert - just love the picture of her smiling.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Eli is getting used to her. I love how he shares his toys. He will be such a good "big brother."
Don't let them gang up on you - you're off to a very good start.
Love,
