We were lucky enough to have lots of cousins in town this week. Doug's sister, Natalie, and her family was here for a visit and took Ethan and Sydney to Seven Peaks water park with them on Monday. They had a blast!
While they were gone, I took Lyla for her 2-week check-up at Doctor Farley-Jones' office. I feel like this appointment is a 'test' for me to see if I've 'done my job' and she's gained enough weight. I was pretty nervous because I haven't woken her up to eat at night and she's going at least 4-6 hours at night. It was the moment of truth. When we left the hospital, she weighed 5 lb 13 oz. This appointment, she weighed 6 lbs 14 oz!! She is a fantastic eater, sleeper, burper, and not super fussy. We are so blessed to have her join our family and the calm spirit she brings to our home.
Tuesday, we went to pick up Natalie and Shelly from my sister's house where they had stayed. It was so fun to have them stay with us for the rest of the week. We went straight over to Tiffany's house and walked up the street to swim in her neighborhood pool.
Ethan and Sydney absolutely love every minute they spend with them. They wake up and ask where they are right away. We stopped by Grandma Beckstrand's house Thursday and spent a little time there where Ethan was thrilled that grandma let him borrow one of her princess dresses. It's going to be a long haul explaining the word "borrow" in that we need to return it!
Natalie and Shelly let me sneak in a nap Thursday afternoon with Lyla. I love snuggling with her. She is such a good baby. She is starting to sleep longer between feedings at night. Most nights this week she went longer than 6 hours between feedings at night. This means I'm getting decent sleep.
They loved all the presents that were still coming for Lyla. Ethan would wrap "presents" with the gift wrap over and over.
They especially love that many gifts for Lyla are accompanied by gifts for them. They aren't sure why they're getting presents, but they're loving it!
