8 weeks {Harper}

8 weeks and I think we've found our groove!  I can get all three of us out of the house by myself with only leaving a burp cloth (and my brain) behind.  I've conquered the grocery store & Costco with both girls.  I can usually get a quick nap in while they both sleep.  That's about it, so maybe it's not really a groove...but it is getting easier each day.  The laundry & housework is just going to have to wait it's turn, we're taking baby steps here.
Speaking of baby... Harper is a little sweetie pie.  She's cooing & smiling tons which I can't get enough of.  The past couple of mornings I've woken up to her just talking & smiling away.  Who she's talking to & smiling at, is beyond me since she can't quite see me from her co-sleeper.  Hailey gets sooo excited when Harper smiles and "talks" to her.  She says "Yay Harper, good job smiling...Mommy, Harper smiled at me!!  She's pretty lucky to have a big sister like me, huh?!"
At 8 weeks...
you're turning your head to our voices.  sleeping 6-7 hours during the night.  you are always hot.  have lost almost all of your hair.  love your binky...but spit it out - a lot - then cry because you want it back.  still sleeping in our room.
you love:
baths.  your sister.  pooping in clean diapers.  sitting outside.  being held.  being on your tummy.  your "friends" on the swing mobile.  Daddy's eyebrows.  last but not least, me!

You make me feel like a horrible Mom. I haven't wrote anything down about Ruxen :) I better get on it. Love all her smiles. She is so darn cute. Costco by yourself with both is very impressive. You are way braver than I. XOXOXO
