2 week check up

We are slowly settling into being a family of 4. Week one went really well. Corey was home all week and helped out so much. He took Mia out and really helped out around the house while I took care of Annabel. Annabel is really a good sleeper, which we aren't used to since Mia wasn't. Annabel seems to get up 2 times a night, once around 1 then again around 4 then will sleep until about 7 and is up for a little bit before her first nap. She is an eating, sleeping and pooping machine. Mia adores her and insists on going in the baby jungle gym with her or always wants to comb her hair and do 'nice' to her - it's so sweet.

Last Friday Papa and Aunt Christie came to visit. Mia had a blast playing with them and going to the park. We took Annabel for her first walk and she loved it. Sunday we took a family walk down to the library and Annie slept the entire time. Sunday Grandma came out with Papo and brought us stew for dinner - and brought back our beagles! The beagles didn't do much, sniffed Annabel a bit and Charles keeps trying to lick her but so far so good. Grandma is staying with us this week to help out, mostly taking Mia out and keeping her busy. Next week I will be solo!

I took Annabel in for her 2 week check up and she did great! She was 7 lbs 2 oz last week and today was 7 lbs 15 oz! I was so happy with her weight gain. Everything else looked great.

Mia has really been into reading Disney stories like Peter Pan and Snow White so we thought we'd see how she would do watching her first movie. We rented Peter Pan from the library and she loved it. She actually sat through most of it and declared that John is her 'favorite' character. Daddy bought her a snow white doll and she loves to sing twinkle twinkle (in a very silly voice) to her. She is getting so big and looks like a GIANT compared to Annabel.
