A 3 week old and 4 year old


Not only do we have a 3 week old today, our first baby turned 4 years old last Saturday! As you can see, Ella is still pretty spoiled and we wanted to make sure she had a great birthday. Dad bought her a new toy, she got to help dad in the yard and she even got to play with "the girls" Molly and Bailey all on her birthday. Molly and Bailey are grandma and grandpa's golden retrievers that Ella is now friends with. Ella was surely ready for bed by Saturday night!

Lyla is still a mover and shaker. She has been doing pretty good staying on a schedule during the day and hasn't been too bad sleeping at night. She even slept half the night in her crib last night! Hopefully we can continue to put her in her crib without much of a fuss. We will see what happens!

We just introduced the pacifier to Lyla this week as well. She has her fussy time right around 8:00 p.m. until bedtime. She sometimes finds her thumb or hand to soothe her but that only lasts a couple minutes. Hopefully this will continue to be effective so I'm not feeding her for 2 hours straight! I had to include a picture of Lyla right when she was born sucking her thumb and one we took a couple days ago. We thought right away she was always going to suck her thumb but she hardly finds it anymore.

Well I gotta go and feed Lyla before she gets cranky. Here are a few more updated pictures!
