about having a newborn. I forgot how these first couple of weeks can try any person. Layla is doing great and growing so fast already - check out that double chin! She is still a great nurser, but she is also a spitter. I forgot how much a baby can spit up. It is much better than it was last week so hopefully it continues to improve. She is of course on no particular schedule either. One day she sleeps all day and the next it seems she is awake all day. Neither has proved good for a good nights sleep yet :) We usually can get a couple of hours once or twice before she is awake again. 
Having two kids makes life a little more challenging also. I have only been alone with the two girls for a few hours so far, but we will get some more practice this week before Matt goes back to travelling. I'm a little nervous, but I know we will all be ok. Everyone will need to adjust to sharing mommy and I will need to adjust to the busy schedule. I should get my first practice run to the grocery store today or tomorrow.
Hannah is still infatuated with her sister and wants to touch and hold her a lot. She is also pretty taken with pacifiers (which is odd since she is a thumb sucker). She can't stop herself from picking up and sucking on Layla's binkins. We are hoping this wears off soon. Hannah is amazing us these days with her speach. She is getting much more clear and is just so smart! She can reason and negotiate already which we weren't prepared for just yet. She is also getting really good at climbing and is a very good fit thrower. She can cry on demand and is very dramatic with throwing herself on the ground to prove how upset she is. We are taking this as well as we can with the newborn in the house, but lack of sleep can make adults just as likely to throw a fit right back. Once she has it all out she announces that she is done with her fit and she is all bette
r now. It is very cute. Here's a good picture of my little ham - she does love the camera.
