Our move has been going well. We closed on the new house last Wednesday and in the week since the move we only have a couple boxes left to unpack. Miguel has been working over-time to get everything set up so we can start relaxing. He is such a GREAT daddy! We have a few last minute touches but the majority is done. Both Susanna and Sissy are adjusting great.
Sissy now has a fenced in back yard to run around and play and she loves it. She has dog friends living right behind us and they are getting to know each other through the fences. Miguel set up Susanna's nursery right away so her transition has been very smooth.
She actually is such a big girl now that she is sleeping in her own crib and no longer in the pack n play in our room. The first night was a little scary because I was used to listening to all her noises and I felt like I couldn't hear her but I am getting more used to the monitor and she is doing great. I think Miguel and I are sleeping better now and Susanna is occasionally giving us 5 hour blocks at night and we really appreciate it!! Overall she is a really good baby and growing everyday. She gets a little fussy every night starting around 8pm but we have figured out ways to sooth her. Even with her fussiness she is still an angel baby!
Recently she had her first big girl bath in the tub. The first time she screamed her head off just like she would with the wash cloth baths but the second bath I think she really liked it. Only a little screaming and most of the time she just layed there and enjoyed the water. Miguel set up her bath tub for the second bath and we figure he got the PERFECT water temperature and that makes all the difference. My Grandma told me to always test the water with my elbow to know whether it will be right for baby. For the third bath time I did the elbow test and it all went pretty smooth! I really am looking forward to when she starts to splash and really have fun at bath time!!
Before the big move Miguel and I took Susanna to his class picnic. We had a great time with his classmates and ate GREAT BBQ. Susanna wore a dress for the first time and was super cute! I wanted a mommy and daughter pic of her in her first dress but she wasn't having it. As you can see in the pics she SCREAMED during the entire photo shoot. You can still see how cute she looks in her dress though!
Susanna's favorite toy is her Boppy Bouncer. She gets so snugly and cozy and we can usually count on the bounce to help calm her and coax her into taking a nap. She has not started smiling at us yet but we have been lucky enough to catch some smiles during sleep. She is soooo precious!
Now that we are getting more settled and everything is coming together I PROMISE to update more often. We will keep taking pics of all her cutest moments and sharing them.

The picture with little poops looking in the mirror could be in a photo contest. She is just so...beautiful. We are also so happy for you in your new home. It is just so perfect for you. I know Susanna and all your children will have such a wonderful life there!
