Family at Home
Tara and Josie came home from the hospital yesterday. Ellie and I both agree that it’s SOOO good to have them home. We’re just enjoying being together and getting to know Josie.
So far Josie is very even tempered. She rarely cries for more than a minute or two and she has been sleeping very well. She’ll conk out for hours at a time during the day if we let her. But we’re worried that sleeping all day means being awake all night. So we’ve been trying to wake her up and keep her engaged. The coolest thing however is how Josie (even at this early stage) really watches whatever Ellie does.
And Ellie, for her part, has been a wonderful big sister. She is eager to help out with bottle feedings, diaper changes, and all the other little baby tasks. (Her favorite is burping the baby… and she’s good at it!) Obviously this is a big adjustment for Ellie, and there have been a few moments when she’s acted out. But overall she seems very happy about the changes to her world. We are trying to stay very attentive to her needs and feelings.
Oh hey, another thing. I added a few more pictures to the gallery in the post below this one. New ones start here. They are as cute and precious as you might expect. There are a number of adorable videos that I will get online in the near future, as well.
