Busy day....

We started the morning with a trip to my cousin Emily's house. Diana did an amazing job entertaining and caring for Kylie, Cooper and Liam while we took newborn photos of Declan. It was really fun and we got some good photos! Declan did a good job of sleeping for the majority of the time and Liam, although not always thrilled about posing for the camera, did a great job.

We headed home, Kylie asked again for a nap, nice. Melissa came over for a short visit, she has been out of town for the past couple days, it was fun to hear about her best friend Anna's wedding.

When Kylie got up we decided to take a trip to KidSwap and look for some shirts for Kylie, we were successful as always. We then headed to ice cream, yum, then to TJ's for food.

Kylie has had moments of difficulty during this adjustment to being a big sister. She has been doing some regression as well, today she wanted to lay in the baby rocker. She says things like "I'm a baby, just learning how to walk," and "I need nannies (nursing), I am a baby and I am crying, waaaaaa." I have been trying to devote lots of time to her, especially some 1-to-1 time while Diana is here. I keep reminding myself that this is all still very new and it will take us all some time to get used to the changes. Cooper is such a sweet boy, he is so expressive and is definitely smiling at us already, which is so fun. He tends to sleep more during the early part of the day and then go through some cluster feeding in the evening, tonight I felt like I nursed him nonstop from about 6-9pm. He has been sleeping well at night, 2-3 hour stretches, he wakes to nurse and goes back to sleep, easy enough.

I am hoping to go to breastfeeding group tomorrow, we will see if we can get ourselves out of the house on time :o)

More to come soon,
Natalie

Welcome Declan

Sleeping on the job.

Kylie wanted to hold Cooper on the "fancy blue chair" at Office Depot.
