Sisters

10.27.09

Sigh. I always wanted a sister. (Love ya, Daniel!) So it does my heart good to see my girls together. They are just too sweet!

Sisters:


Scarlett has started spitting up more often; we remain hopeful that she doesn't have the dreaded acid reflux! Other than that, she is still sleeping well (as well as a newborn can sleep) and doing fine. Although she is a relatively chill baby, she does have her moments. Of course, it isn't her that has a temper and starts screaming. It is obviously her alter ego, Rojo Loco (closely related to Chloe's alter ego, Coco Loco). But even Rojo isn't THAT bad! Things are going well!

Sleeping Baby at almost 3 weeks old:


Chloe is excited for this week. Pumpkin carving, trick or treating, candy, Halloween dress up parties at school and this weekend to attend. And best of all, she gets to wear her costume to ballet, even!!! How exciting! I will post pictures of the costumes after Halloween this weekend. Happy Fall!

Scarlett Ruth

10.20.09

It has been a long time since my last post and we've been very busy. On September 30, 2009 at 5:43, we welcomed Scarlett Ruth to our family. She weighed 8 lbs exactly and was 21 inches long. We all think that she looks a lot like Chloe Jane did when she was born!



So far, Big Sister Chloe is doing well. She hasn't asked us to take her back to the hospital yet, which we think is a good sign! She loves her little sister!



We are settling into life with two kids and adjusting to find our new normal. I have another three weeks off of work for maternity leave. I am enjoying bonding with Scarlett very much.



It is amazing to watch our two girls together!


Scarlett sleeps very well for a newborn -- anywhere from 3 to 5 hours at a time. So far, it doesn't seem like she has the acid reflux issues that Chloe Jane struggled with for the first few months. We are hoping that doesn't change!



We promise to update often with lots of new pics of our girls!!!
