A week in the life of Susanna...

Susanna will be 2 in just a month. It is SOOO HARD to believe she is growing up so fast right before our eyes. She is so smart, loves to dance, talks constantly, laughs A LOT, gives GREAT hugs, and so much more!!! Here are some pictures of her enjoying being a toddler... she is a wild and crazy girl :)


Playing the drums... ROCK AND ROLL Susanna!!


Pucker up for a kiss cause here comes some Susanna lovin!!


Painting like "Olivia"... one of her favorite Nick Jr. shows


Yummy, Yummy yogurt... and she can do it all by herself, what a big girl!


Making cookies with daddy


Sitting on the big girl potty... not training yet but she does like to take her diaper off and try out her special potty. The drum sticks and headband are just some rockstar accessories!


Wearing a fuzzy hat while eating dinner, why not!

CHUBBA CHUBBA

Noah had his 1 month appointment this past week and guess how much he weighed... 11 pounds 11 ounces!!!! I WAS SHOCKED! Miguel and I made guesses but both were in the 10 pound range. I guess those nighttime feedings every 2 hours are really adding on the chubs! The doctor said he was doing great and just a big boy in the 90th percentile for both weight and head circumference! He got his first shot since the hospital and handled it pretty well, minimal crying and calmed down within a few seconds. His next appointment will be his 2-month visit and will receive multiple shots... hope he does just as good then too!!!

He has started sleeping a little better at night with occasional 3 hour blocks between feedings. Miguel has been helping me on the weekends so I have been able to get a little more sleep which is GREATLY appreciated! However, coffee has become my new best friend as I discovered this was the secret to being a mom to a toddler and a newborn :)


Susanna continues to be a WONDERFUL big sister!! She follows/helps me whenever he needs a diaper change, brings me pacifiers, burp clothes, bottles, and will climb up on my lap while I am feeding him so we can all sit and snuggle! She is growing up soo fast and becoming a little girl and no longer a baby. In a month she will be turning 2 and I cant believe it! If you ask her what she wants for her birthday she will tell you a bicycle... I think her wish will come true!!!

I have been comparing pictures of Susanna at 5 weeks old with Noah and they are starting to look soo much alike. At times they even look like twins, just separated by 2 years!!! I am starting to wonder if I am going to have another blonde hair, blue eyed child! Tell me what you think?!?!?
