6 Weeks Old

Elizabeth is 6 weeks old as of Tuesday. She can fit into 3-6 month clothes and they fit her good. Some of her 0-3 month onesies do not fit her in the length because she is so long. I will not find out all of her stats until November 12th for her 2 month check-up. She is getting so big. She has been able to hold her head up for minutes at a time since she was 3 weeks old. She started to coo at me and she respond to my voice. She laughs in her sleep and it is so cute. She just wants to grow up so fast and it is hard because she is doing more than Victoria did at this age and it makes me sad. my little girl wants to be so big now. We call her Jelly Bean because she is so chunky and I love it. We always said that our next child was going to be chunky, white and light haired. That is exaclty what we got. We have two little girls that are the opposite of each other. I took their pictures in the fall leaves and that was fun. Victoria loved to run through the piles of leaves and then lay down in them. Victoria can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and it is so cute. I am trying to get in on vidoe so I can put it on here but she whispers when I am taping. She counts to 10 by herself. We are having so much fun with our little girls.

Family Update

Elizabeth went in for her 2 week appointment and man has she grown. She now weighs 9lbs 8oz and is 22 inches long. She is just 2oz short of gaining 2lbs in 2 weeks. I told her Dr it is because I am producing cream this time around and with Victoria it was more water than cream. She is getting better at her days and nights. She still gets up early in the morning and stays awake for 2 hours. It has not been fun since Victoria gets up at 7am anyway. I am not getting much sleep but what can you do?! Elizabeth is a great baby and changing everyday.

Victoria got a bike and she likes to ride it. She has not been playing much because she wants to be with her sister all the time. I can lay Elizabeth on the floor and Victoria will go and lay by her and kiss her. Victoria will go to her play pen and touch her head. If I ask her to check on her sister she will go and look at her and tell me if she is awake or sleeping. I could not have asked for Victoria to be any better than she is to Elizabeth. I trust her 100% with her sister. I will have Elizabeth on the floor and go into the kitchen and know that Victoria will not hurt her in anyway at all.

It has been hard adjusting to two kids but we are doing it and it is working. It helps that Victoria is not jealous or hurtful to Elizabeth. I am enjoying my two girls and cannot wait until they grow up and we get to do mother and daughter things together. Papa loves his girls like there is noone else in the world. He has a hard road ahead of him with two little girls to look after and protect.
