10 days old

Well, baby Taylor is officially 10 days old today. It's hard to believe that she is already over a week old...time flies! I have to say that she is a very good baby. Sleeping patterns are still very erratic - but that's to be expected, I guess. She only cries when she is hungry or getting her diaper changed. She is starting to stay awake for longer periods during the day, so I am hoping that she is going to be more tired at night and sleep longer than two hours at a time!

Brooke is doing much better with the adjustment than I ever imagined she would. She is a great big sister. She is genuinely concerned with where Taylor is, what she is doing, and why she is crying. She wants to help out in everything we do with Taylor. When Brooke is in her room at bedtime, and she hears Taylor cry, Brooke will call downstairs and say, "Mommy, my baby sister is crying"!. It really is cute.

Mom and Dad are adjusting as well. Since I am exclusively breastfeeding right now, there has been some long nights, but luckily Jeremy is there to help out with Brooke during the day so I can rest when I need to. It's harder to get out of the house with two kids and one husband who takes an hour to get ready! So far, it's been an adventure - but an adventure worth taking!
