Life has returned to the new normal. Rob is back at work, I'm home with two girls, we go out most days, play puzzles, read books, and are enjoying life as a family of four. Erica is growing like crazy-she's almost 13lbs at 7 weeks (Amelia wasn't 13lbs until 3 months). Erica is fitting comfortably in most 6-month size sleepers and although I can still squeeze her into a few 3-month onsies, they show off her curves more than I'd like in my infant.
Amelia is adjusting to her new position in the family well. She loves talking and singing to her sister and without my constant intervention, would probably accidentally catapult her right out of her bouncy chair. Amelia has started to read to Erica. She has most of our books memorized-at least in part-and holds them precariously over Erica's head while clearly explaining the exciting plot of "Baby's First Christmas-a book about Colors". Erica smiles when Amelia enters the room and has laughed for her a few times, I can already see the sister relationship developing and it's amazing to see!
Other than that, Erica does a lot of sleeping (she's slept until 5:30 in the morning twice so far!), Amelia does a lot of playing and talking, I do a lot of nursing and baby holding, and Rob works and then comes home and cooks and cleans-what a great guy. Some pics...
Snuggling
She sleeps so well on her belly, wish we could put her down like this at night.

Getting ready for a birthday party, all dressed up.
Enjoying bath time!

"Mommy, Erica needs socks and baby legs. Awww....she's awfully cute, isn't she!"
Thanks, Steph, for the adorable purple outfit!
Erica makes some great faces.
Sister time.
7 weeks and 3 weeks bathtime. She's grown a lot!
She's all smiles in her bright outfit!
