1 month

Holy cow! I cant believe its already been one whole month since little Eva was born. We are just absolutely loving her. Yes, its hard, and im always complaining, but its soo much fun to have a new baby in the house. We waited so long to have her and now shes here and growing so fast. Last Drs. visit she weighed 9lbs. 14 oz. so she is right on track. She is a little colicy, but its nothing the good ol binky cant take care of. That thing is a life saver! Our nights are getting better, sorta. She sleeps for a good 4-6 hours, but she wont go to bed til midnite. Papa's been taking that shift (thanks dad). So we're getting some rest.
Riley LOVES her little sister! A little too much if you ask me. She's like Elmyra from Animaniacs, she wants to hug her, and kiss her, and squish her at the same time. With all the love, theres also a tinge of jeolousy. Every day i have to keep a close eye on her because she'll smack her in the head or squash her. Today she tried to step on her. Oh my children. I've had to send her to her room a few times for not being nice to little sister. She cries, but i think she's learning.
Its been pretty crazy around here, but im enjoying it. Its definately not easy being a parent, but its the most rewarding job ever. You just have to take it one day at a time.

Wow!! 1 month already?!?!? That last picture of the 2 of them is so sweet! And that first picture of the two of them is a crack up....Eva looks so scared for her life!! LOL! Hang in there...it does get easier...at about 6 months!! And then when Eva turns one, it is all downhill...at least that is how it has been at our house! We need to get together with you guys! Let us know when you are feeling up to it!!
