Catching up...

Coley was one month on the 18th. She is doing wonderfully and I'm much more confident in her now that she has reached this milestone. She is eating great, gained 1.5 lbs in 10 days, and is on a really good schedule. I even have Coley and Mylie napping at the same time during the afternoon (on most days). She's cooing just a little and today, while she was wide awake and as I was making a fool of myself to her, she gave great big smile. Too bad Mylie was across the room and my camera was no where to be found! Coley still wears her apnea monitor at night and in the car, and it still hasn't gone off due to a spell. We are so thankful that she is proving herself to be a healthy, normal baby. We go back to the lung doctor on the 30th and feel he too will be confident in her health. Hopefully we'll only have the monitor for another month or two. Here are a few pictures of Coley.






I've been very leery about letting Mylie get too close to Coley since she's been home from the hospital...probably too much on my part. But I couldn't help let Mylie try to give Coley her sippy cup. The cup did make it into Coley's mouth, so I'm praying the runny nose Mylie has, once again, won't be transferred to Coley. I then asked Mylie if she would like to hold Coley and she became very excited.





I wasn't able to get any cute pictures of Mylie holding Coley, but I'll get some good ones soon and will post those then.


Poor David is still traveling a lot with work. And when he gets home, he tries to spend as much time with the girls as he can before they head off to bed.

Mylie is still just as sweet and cute as can be. I can't believe that she'll be 18 months at the end of this month. It's amazing how she has gone from my baby to my big girl. She loves hiding. We'll say "Where's Mylie?" and she'll pop out and say "Here she is!" Her new thing is to say "Bless you!" when you sneeze. We'll fake sneeze just to hear her say it.



David's parents were in town over the weekend so we decided to take the girls to the lake and have a picnic. Mylie loved throwing rocks in the lake and getting her feet wet. She loves being outside. It was really windy that day so Coley and I sat at the picnic table and relaxed while David chased Mylie all over the place.

All our visitors have left for a while so it's just the 4 of us and me and the girls during the day. We're all doing really well and are loving all the adjustments that come along with a family of three becoming a family of four.
