So, it has been a very busy last few weeks. Not only do we have a new baby, but we had plenty of Halloween fun and a visit from Grammy. We're getting a long pretty well. Most nights we have dinner, our clothes are clean and we make the bed almost every day. We are missing a little sleep, but its getting better. In her short six weeks Eliza has been very active.
She has been to the Dinosaur museum and the Recycling museum.She got to see a tiger at the zoo, and rode the carousel with Caleb.
She has been to two Halloween carnivals. At the second, her brother caught a goldfish, named goldfish, who lived on our counter for three days before he took a "nap" and mom flushed him while Caleb wasn't looking.
She took a train to NYC, rode the subway and saw Times Square. While there, Caleb and Brandon rode the ferris wheel inside Toy-r-us.
She went to a Halloween party and watched her brother go Trick-or-treating with his friends.She watched a Black Hawk helicopter land at the playground and Caleb got to sit in it.
So far, life with a baby sister has been pretty good. We had some worries in the beginning because the peanut only weighed 5lb 15oz when we brought her home and she wasn't gaining weight. After giving her a few bottles, she was back up to almost 7lbs and she hasn't stopped eating since. Caleb did not take a bottle at all, so its nice to share the feeding with Brandon.
She is starting to smile a little and we can actually put her down for more than two minutes without her screaming. yeah! The swing and ergo carrier are worth every single penny we paid for them!
Caleb is doing well in school, painting, playing, reading books. He is even eating his lunch with his class at the table.
Grammy left this morning and we are sad, but tired. Its 10am and we still have on our pj's- she wore us out!

I'm glad things are going good! What a busy October! Funny how much faster you get out with the second than the first, huh!! She is so precious!! Ryder lived in his swing the first 3 months...I remember asking Matt what we would do when he got two heavy to swing in it, LOL! Luckily he got better before we got to that point!
I was beginning to wonder about you! I had all these horrible visions of how life with two kiddos must be crazy hectic and stressful and that in a couple months there would be no time for blogging for me! (Oh, the tragedy.) I'm glad to know it's busy, but not necessarily a bad kind of busy! Both your kiddos are so sweet! You're doing a great job momma!
Glad to see cute pics of your kiddos. Hopefully you'll get more and more sleep as the weeks go by. It was good to see grammy's picture on there. Where is she living?
