Night Night

Maci is working on going to bed all by herself. She has been successful 3 out of the last 4 nights. If she goes to bed by herself, she usually sleeps longer in her own bed by herself. She doesn't come sleep with me until after Derek goes to work. Tonight I was tucking her in and reading her a book. I always tell her night night don't let the bed bugs bite. Tonight she said it to me first "night night don't let the bed bite the bugs!"

Welcome Hannah & Maci can't see

Hannah Ellen was born 5/28/09 8 pounds 3 ounces and 20 1/2 inches. She started out sleeping for the first 2 weeks of life. Then she progressed to have a bit of colic. She has been driving us crazy for the last couple weeks. BUT she smiled at me a real smile yesterday for the first time. She has really cute fat cheeks & dimples! It makes the long crying spells worth it. The last couple days she has been doing a little better.

Maci went to the eye doctor last week. She can't see far away. She has a follow up appointment to numb her eye and get a real reading. I'm going to be shopping for the 2 for 1 special for laser surgery for us both.

We have been spending the days doing what we want. Well Maci went to Jeanne's on Monday. She got a bad report at the end of the day because she threw a fit when she didn't get her way all day. I blame it on the lack of sleep and unroutine schedule. So we are napping this week at normal time. So far I think she is still spoiled.

Maci started taking a couple private swim lessons this last couple weeks. She loves it. Then Cali, Jeremy, Leah, Madeline & Stella took her to the "beach" and to play in the lake. She came home full of sand and tired. It must have been a success. Hannah and I stayed home. Hannah gets heat rash really easy so she has to be pampered.

We are planning another fun afternoon with Cali & Jeremy, but the big sister is sleeping like crazy. She has been asleep for over 2 hours.
