Pictures

Ok so it has been over a week since I said I would post pictures but it has been a busy week so sorry (I don't have one of all of us yet but hopefully I can get a little family pic soon). My parents were able to come out for this past week and help out with the kids and with meals and cleaning and I will have to say that is something I could get used to. It was so great to be able to split my time between my two girls and still have a little time for myself and not have to worry about dinner and dishes, thanks mom and dad. Chelsea and Chris are coming out for part of this week and then Justin's mom is coming out for a week and I am very excited.
Elliette is adapting well to having a little sister around, maybe even to well. She LOVES to help out and takes the binkie out of Camryn's mouth so that she can put it back in there. The problem is that she doesn't seem to be able to find her mouth and tries to shove it in her eye instead. She also loves to bounce her in the bouncer when she cries but she either pushes on Cami's tummy or starts bouncing it really hard. It is really cute to watch her try to be such a great big sister. She will bring me the changing pad and a diaper and then want to help pull the wipes out when we are changing Cami's diaper and she is GREAT at giving her kisses. My parents brought her a baby and a bottle and she is so cute with it and carries it around patting its back and feeding it. The first few days Ellie was a bit whiny but turns out she has had some bad allergies and hasn't been feeling great. One of her eyes actually swelled up so much one night it looked like she had been in a fight (I forgot to get a pic and it wasn't as bad the next day) but now we have some allergy meds and she is feeling better and has become less whiny. We have found that Elliette loves watching her Babies can read video and going through the flashcards which is great to know she will sit still for about 20 minutes if I put that on (Thank you so much Great Grandma and Grandpa N.)Camryn has been a great little baby. The first few days she had absolutely NO patience and as soon as she decided it was time to eat she acted like she was going to starve to death; she has slowed down on the freak outs now which is nice. It also seems as if we have figured out our nights already, she gets up around 3 or 4 to eat and then sleeps until at least 6 if not 8 in the morning and as long as Elliette sleeps well that night it isn't to bad for me. Like Ellie was she doesn't like to be swaddled and loves having her hands up by her face especially while sleeping. Other than that she sleeps, poops A LOT, eats, stares, and smiles (sometimes there are even little giggles). I think we are pretty lucky with these two.

Gleak, I just have to say you look amazing for just having a baby. Jealous. She is so super cute. I can't quite tell who she looks like more. Elli I remember looks just like a Gleason. Who do you think she looks more like? Do you think she looks like Elli?

She is just beautiful! SOOOOO CUTE!!!! And I have to agree with Robin you are looking so good for just having had a baby! Good luck with two, and sounds like your little girl is adjusting well, that makes it so much easier- don't you think. That was most of my worry! Well good luck and hope you get some sleep!
