having a baby girl...

... is like so much better than having dolls to dress up.

She is barely four weeks old and already she has a rather impressive collection of 11 pairs of shoes. That's about 10 more than I currently own. So fun.


So I know I'm really behind in posting. Having two kids takes up a lot more time than I had imagined. The minute I am done feeding/changing Masyn, I try to focus all my attention on Noah. I think that's the thing I am finding the most difficult. The division of my time as a Mommy. It's tough, but we're adjusting.

Noah has been the best big brother. That sounds cliche, but really, he is. We thought he was going to have a hard time with a baby around. I was picturing fits of jealous rage. It's the exact opposite. He has, I dare say, improved since Masyn has been home. He love love loves her. He no longer fights me to change his diaper, as long as his little sister is getting her diaper changed at the same time. He loves to help me and when I ask him to run and get some wipes or a diaper he is more than willing and runs off to do just as I ask. He asks to hold her a lot, but it's short lived. He tells me it's my turn barely 30 seconds in :) The other day he asked to hold her and she started crying. Noah says "Uh oh, She's hungry, I feed her" as he starts to lift up his shirt to expose his chest. Oooops! I had to quickly explain that only mommies get to feed babies. But my heart melted that he wanted to help her. Like I said, he's a good big brother. I think if I was getting a full night's sleep, life would be bliss.

Anyways, I think we took more pictures of Noah in his first week of life than we have in Masyn's four, but here are the latest. Enjoy.

Janay and I did a photo shoot with the little Miss last week and when I get the pictures back I plan on doing a good long picture-filled post. Including her birth story which I want to remember. Although there's not much to remember. The whole thing lasted just over three hours. A huge leap from Noah's 26 hours. Ouch.


These are a bit out of order. They start with the most recent.

Let's just try and look past the creepy red satan eyes in this one. I have no idea how to get rid of that in my pictures.

My attempt at our first brother/sister picture. I had a way cuter one where she is actually smiling, but I just accidentally deleted it and I can already hear her fussing in her swing so I don't have time to go back and get it. Too bad, it was my fave.

Her first trip to Wal-Mart! That was an exciting day for me. I got out of the house. Never mind that it took like triple the time to get everyone ready and into the car.

After bath time relaxation.

Her first Sunday. I still hadn't clipped her nails. Awww that was soooo long ago :)
