Life with Two!

Audrey has been such a wonderful baby! She goes 4 or 5 hrs. between feedings and for the most part falls back to sleep at night after meals. She rarely complains - except when she's getting a new diaper or a bath. Mommy is having a harder time coping with sleep deprivation than she remembers with Ian... but we are slowly getting into a rhythm.
Here's daddy doing his first bottle with her...
Some recent events: Ian enjoyed his first McDonald's Happy Meal at the drive-thru with mommy. He can't stop talking about the "farmer" (old McDonald) giving him food & a toy! We also had our first outing as a family of 4 - lunch at a restaurant on a beautiful day of 45 deg. temps.
Ian is an AMAZING big brother... he loves his baby sister! The only changes we've seen from him are that he's louder now & tries to get a bit more attention.

When she's awake, she's wide-eyed and very alert!

For the bath - what FINALLY worked for us yesterday was to take a hand towel and get it wet with very warm water and lay that across Talia like a blanket. We lay her in a mesh bath thing in the tub with the water to about her bum. This time she didn't cry at all - when before she was getting purple from screaming so hard.
