One month old!

Isla-
I can't believe you are already one month old! Time is flying and needs to slow down!! You are turning into a chunky monkey and love the Beco carrier, being held and being cuddly with mommy and daddy.     You are officially only in size 1 diapers as of last week-the newborn are WAY too tight. You are wearing the large newborn clothes and small 0-3 month clothes.  Your daddy and I talk all the time about how it feels like you were always meant to be in our family and how you blended so well and helped make us feel more complete when you arrived. We love you so so much! You are such a good, sweet little girl and you have been everywhere since your arrival including shopping, out to eat many times, to several birthday parties, and all over the city. :) You are sweet and easy and we are so so lucky. You only wake up twice a night usually, which is amazing and I haven't even been that tired since your arrival since you are so easy-going.

We are so excited to see your likes/ dislikes as you grow and to hear your little voice someday.  We are anxious to see if your hair will stay dark and if your eyes will stay blue.  So far, your hair shows no sign of falling out like your brother's did.  Your eyes are not changing yet but are pretty dark blue.

Your big brother has been such a sweet big brother too. We love you two so so much darling babies.

Love,
Mommy

A bit behind but loving life

We are a bit behind over here on blog posts. Been enjoying the kiddos and just generally trying to use my maternity leave to be as productive as possible.  I am feeling good and Isla will be a month old on Sunday!! I have lost almost all of the pregnancy pounds and am working on getting fit :) The weather has been amazing here-it has to be 70 out there today. Our picket fence is in progress and will be finished next week. Isla's room is done and I will post pictures soon. In the meantime, Isla is calling....
