How did we get from "Hannah's first few days" to "1 month" so quickly?!? Just proof of the lack of free time we have right now, I suppose. Life with 2 children has been 99% wonderful and we are getting more & more adjusted each day to the new routine.
Here's some of what we've been up to...
Here's some of what we've been up to...
Aunt Abby & Uncle Pablo came to visit during Hannah's first week home. They entertained Avery, helped with chores around the house, and kept us sane!
Abby & Hannah.
Mam came to visit for a week and was also a huge help...playing with Avery, making us meals, doing laundry, etc. She gave Avery a tea set and they had a big girl tea party one afternoon....Avery loved it!
Mam & Hannah.
Grammie and Biggie have also been awesome as we adjust to the new routine. Avery has loved spending time with them and we are so thankful for the assistance!
Biggie and his granddaughters.
Doctor visits...and more doctor visits. Hannah is jaundice and fussy more than we think is "normal" (probably due to reflux or gas) but is otherwise a very healthy & happy baby.
Due to her being jaundice, we've had to get Hannah's biliruben levels checked pretty frequently - which requires a trip to the hospital & a heal prick for the blood test. Poor girl, she takes it like a champ.
2 weeks old - precious girl.
Sweet sisters.
Avery is practicing for motherhood.
Aunt Christy came to visit.
2 1/2 weeks - adorable embroidered "h" onesie from Miss Janna.
Resting with Daddy.
3 weeks old - Hannah in one of Avery's old outfits & new Nike kicks from Miss Jill.

Avery, Hannah & Mommy joined Grammie & Biggie for a quick trip to Dallas. We were able to see some friends, family, and the great-grandparents. As always, it was a fast & furious trip!
How much "stuff" do you need for one night in a hotel!?!
Mimama & Hannah.
Nana & Hannah.
Avery with Uncle Swain & cousin Collin.
Uncle P, Aunt Abby, Uncle Matt & A.
Avery w/ the Eckenrode girls.
Two of A's favorite boys, the Rissmiller brothers.
Avery's adjustment has taken some time, but she is doing so much better and really loves her little sister! She is the first to introduce "Baby Hannah" (& with much excitement) to each of our visitors.
As can be expected, the past month has left her exhausted...physically & emotionally. And Mommy & Daddy can relate:)

What a great update. Made me smile to look at your wonderful family of four. Hannah is precious and that last picture of Avery is so very sweet. xoxo.
So sweet! What a cute family. Hopefully Jack and Hannah can meet soon. They have a lot in common: bald heads, chicken legs, sweet little sleepy lips. They would get along great!
