Maggie Sue
- She is so much bigger and more fun than anything I could have imagined for the tiny alien like 3.5lb baby. She is calm, happy, and adventurous. She loves to roll and will make it across the room before you even realize. I think she'll decide she wants to crawl pretty soon.
- She still has bright blue eyes and blond/ red hair. She's beautiful.
- She got her first fever this past Monday (November 7) and it was so painful to see my usually happy baby crying and uncomfortable. I know it's just the beginning and we've been very fortunate to have lasted this long without getting sick.
- She's pretty into trying new foods. I'll be honest that I hate the mess solids make and get overwhelmed so I'm not diligent at giving it to her daily. But I keep trying.
Elly Pearl
- She is still the diva that I "met" in my belly. She is loud and sassy.
- She has beautiful brown/ green eyes and golden brown hair.
- She is a flirt and can be so silly and smiley.
- She hates solids. Shivers/ cringes at anything. Trying not to worry but also prepared to take extra measures like OT if needed for her to thrive.
- She can sit for a decent amount on her own and is getting great with balance. She's also less likely to scare herself if she falls down. She's not so interested in being on her stomach and thus crawling isn't her thing right now.
I just feel so fortunate to have 2 amazing kids. So many people comment how sweet and calm they are. I hope to take a little credit for that. I try to not be anxious and crazy and remain calm when they fuss.
Parenting is hard, though. It's tough figuring out these little people and it's even harder doing it 24/7. That said, I love being home with them exponentially more than I ever thought I would. This has been the most incredible time.

Now, we work on going back to sleeping through the night.
And getting ready for our first road trip to Chicago. 😧
