Lydia's 2nd week

Our baby girl is doing great!! She's eating like a champ and much to our delight seems to understand that nighttime is for sleeping- yay! Despite being a bit overwhelmed with caring for 2 little ones 24/7 Gabe and I seem to be doing pretty good and have even managed to keep a decently clean house (mostly thanks to Gabe!)
Big Sister Evie is still pretty excited about the baby; she likes holding her and loves helping out. So far, so good....

She's a great cuddler with her little sister:


Just loves giving sweet kisses too:


Our angel is changing quickly though.... still sweet as sugar though:


A baby carrier is a major blessing when I need both hands free! This is my Beco Butterfly- love it! http://www.beco.com


Rocking together is too much fun!


We had a busy weekend of visitors since Lydia was baptized on Sunday (plus the long weekend gave everyone that extra chance to travel- so nice!)
First Aunt Natalie and the kids stopped by:


Then Uncle Greg and Aunt Stacie came for a few cuddles:


And then we spent lots of time at Grandma's house over the weekend where the rest of her Aunts and cousins spoiled her all day long. Here's Aunt Mandy and Aunt Sara:


Jason and Natalie are Lydia's sponsors (Jason had to preach that morning and couldn't make it to the service, but will still be a great sponsor!)


Sweetly asleep... our little angel:



I got a chance to take Lydia's newborn portraits last week too. View the set here at my photography website: www.melissareneephotography.com
