Awwwwwwwww how adorable is she!!! I love the picture where she is looking at big brother. There is something magical (truly - it is neurologically sound evidence) that happens when a baby and a caregiver (or loved one) meet in an eye gaze. Remember to engage your little girl with eye contact often and regularly - not just when she's fussy. One of the best times to do that is during feeding, nursing or bottle feeding either one. The eye gazing there creates a powerful connection and bond.

Thanks, everyone! There is definitely a lot of eye contact. Lisa, I just went back in the archives and saw your question about life with 2-- I don't know if Rowan is acting up more since the baby or if it is his age, or if I just notice it more now that I feel guilty I don't have as much time to spend, but we are having to work a lot on his bossiness and listening lately. I think it's partly because I do most of the disciplining and now that DH has to pick up the slack there is inconsistency between us and Rowan is picking up on it, etc. But that probably would have been an issue at some point regardless of how many kids there are. Maybe I didn't notice how much we let him be "boss" until Ada came-- I'm not sure but I think we're getting a handle on it slowly but surely. I miss being able to give undivided attention (remembering when Rowan was Ada's age and I didn't have anyone else to deal with) to both of them, but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's actually pretty good!

Kimmo - she is so sweet! I hear you on the consistency point. We had to become very consistent with Nate after Starr arrived. I believe he would still have acted out without her around, but I think her arrival made it moreso. Since we've become consistent with the 1-2-3 time-out to his room, things have become so much better around here and he's doing so well now. Plus his sleep is back on track and he's back in pull-ups so no potty issues. Phew! Glad it's going well. Danz - how are you feeling?

Thanks, Lisa! I'm glad to hear it's going better for Nate! DH is doing so much better about following the rules for when Rowan acts up. Rowan still loves Ada....He's feeding her "orange juice" (his favorite drink) in the second picture.

Kimmo she is absolutely yummy!!!!! Regarding me, well I am sad to say that I had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago. I had gone for an ultrasound on a tuesday and the doctor said she did not see anything so she requested blood work which came back really low, by Friday I started bleeding in the morning. At about 6:30pm I went to the ER where I stayed until 3am. The ER is horrible. They called it a spontaneous miscarriage. I was only 4 weeks along thankfully so it was not as bad as it could have been had I been further along. Thankfully Ihave Dylan and he is our main focus. I cannot imagine having a m/c with a first though. My husband and I are doing good. We are taking it really well. I am to wait 3 months before trying again but I think we are postponing it until about September for timing reasons. Luckily I did not have to have a dnc. My body got rid of everything naturally. I had no cramps and only bled for 6 days which was great from the horror stories I have heard! So that's it from my end. I hope to post another announcement by the end of the year!!!!!!!!Keep your fingers crossed!

We are trying to get Starr on a bedtime schedule now. It's hard because she was sleeping with us and keeping me awake all night. She'd fall asleep on me in the evening and I'd hold her until I went to bed at 10pm, then put her down in the car seat or my bed and get woken up every hour for suckling on my breasts!!! After 4 1/2 months of this I thought I was going to lose my mind. So we've moved her to her crib in her own room and had to let her fuss it out for a couple of nights, but I'm happy to say she is sleeping in there all night with one feeding which I actually love getting up to do (not kidding), and we are all getting better sleep around here. I see some freedom in my evenings coming soon too since she's going down for the night around 7:30pm.

I am finally around a computer and had the chance to share Sam with you all. He is now almost nine months old but this was taken at 4 1/2 months. Hope all is good with everyone here. Danzdol I'm sorry to here of your loss and you are in my thoughts. Mods...I think this may turn out to be a really large picture but I am not so good with this stuff. Maybe you can make it smaller for me....pleeeze!!
