3 Weeks - Chubbin Up

The last 2 weeks I have been mostly on my own with the girls. Things seem to be going pretty well. Everyone did have a mild cough/cold for a few days, which actually made the girls sleep a bit more. Raegan keeps requesting that I put Reese back in the bouncer & cries when I pick her up, so we are working on it slowly. She seems to just want more snuggle time with me, which is what I thought would happen. I feel a bit bad about how much TV/cartoons gets watched right now, but Reese eats frequently and its one of the few ways I can get Raegan to stay put so I can keep track of her. Hopefully we will be more mobile very soon.

So far bedtime is a little tough if Reese is not asleep, largely due to Raegan. She's been screaming for me after I leave to room lately, heartbreaking, but I'm hoping she'll adjust in the next week or so. And I avoid most errands right now unless they are completely necessary. It's such a production to get both girls ready to go: fed, dressed, rested and in the car...not to mention in the shopping cart/carrier and then unloading everything/everyone when we get home. I'm sure it'll become second nature soon, but I'm tired right now...sigh.

Reese is doing incredibly well. She has a fussy period in the evenings, but not bad at all. Basically she just wants to eat for 3 hours. Only problem is when that collides with dinnertime/bedtime...we are working on it. She seems to be going through her 3 week growth spurt (wants to eat very often), but she actually sleeps really well at night, anywhere from 2 to 6 hours chunks, and goes right back to sleep after she eats. THANK YOU REESE :)

Reese's 3 week Baby Well Check Stats:
    * 10lbs 6oz (96%); 22.25 inches tall (97%),  14.5 inches head circ (68%)

She weighs almost 2 more pounds than Raegan did at this age, which is a little scary considering what a chubby baby Raegan was.

My attempt to get a quick sister photo...they weren't really cooperating.
Reese fell over a few times & Raegan never looked at the camera, just Reese.

Plumping up

Josh & Deb brought Easter fun up to us this year. Reese slept the whole time, Raegan was more than happy to open Reese's easter basket, find all the eggs & take all the candy.
 Such a helpful big sister!
