Just wanted to get caught up once again and get some pictures up of our first few weeks at home with Laura and then I'll catch up again on the latest few weeks. Can't even believe after all this time we never got a pictures at home of all 5 of us yet while there was always someone to take the dumb picture. Gotta get out the tripod now. Oh well!!
Everyone is adjusting pretty smoothly to having a new little life in our house. I don't think I'll adjust to the lack of sleep but I'm sure hoping it's short lived. We couldn't be more in love with this baby. You don't love your children one more than the other, but each one captures your heart in a different and unique way that creates a special feeling and bond in their own unique way that you just can't always put words to. Overall, she has been the quietest and least demanding at this stage and most mild. She's had some off days and nights here and there, but overall she's been quite the content little one.
Alayna didn't pay her much mind in the beginning other than an occasional kiss or she'd say "I love my baby sister Laura". I was holding my breath as I thought it could go either way with her being jealous and we didn't sense that she was in the beginning at all. However, as time goes on we are detecting some changes in her as she has peed her pants a few times and will quietly sneak into a room and shut the door and do something mischievious which hasn't happened to that degree in awhile. She would be caught either pulling all her clothes out of her dresser or get into my make up and was caught digging out all my eyeshadow with her finger. It was a different twist than before so I'm thinking that's her way of getting attention. Bradley has been great with all of it. A few little things here and there, but not anything major. Just a few things that seemed a little off at times or things that weren't quite him and times when he just wouldn't listen like he should, but those times happen regardless. We've been off our normal routine and I'm sure they both know and sense that. He just always wants to hold her and touch her and feed her. He's had a chance to give her a few bottles which is a great help and he's enjoyed that. Overall, he's an awesome big brother and through all the changes I'm so proud of him.

These are in no certain order, but these are some pictures of the first few weeks of special times and visitors at home. A great big thank you to all of you who have called to check in on us and have come to visit and either stopped by with gifts or meals for our family. We appreciate it more than you know.

This was right before her 1 weeks Doctor appointment and we were getting her bundled up in the adorable little snowsuit my friend Missy bought her. Thank you Missy! She looked so cute and snuggly in it.
