Three Weeks!

Elizabeth is three weeks today. I can't believe how fast time flies by when you aren't really paying attention.   Andrew is slowly adjusting. He loves being a big brother and chooses what clothes Lizzy wears almost every single day. He is usually very helpful during diaper changing time, bath time and tries to help calm her when she is upset, which is usually only when she is hungry or wants to be picked up and then she wants mom. Today he even got me a drink of water with ice while I was feeding Lizzy. He reminds me to do things I say I am going to to do and just can't stop kissing her, some times Lizzy doesn't appreciate all the attention he gives her but I am sure she will enjoy him more as she gets older. I love hearing Andrew say "maybe she wants her big brother", "my baby", "she is so little", and he never fails to pray for her. He is not perfect and the little green monster does come out in him at times but fortunately his aggression has not yet turned toward  his little sis yet. He is doing much better since I have started to feel better and can take the time to run and play with him a little.  

So far Lizzy is a very cuddly and sleepy baby. This week she has been a wake a little more but not much. She loves to be held and to snuggle and usually doesn't care who is doing the snuggling. When she is mad she is really mad and defiantly has her mama's voice. She recently has decided that she likes to sit up and tries to pull her self to a sitting position when reclined. She is a girl who knows what she wants and how to get it, I think we are going to be in trouble when she gets older. We have been blessed with plenty of help since she was born, including my sister Laura, my Mom and Dad, and Pat's Mom. I don't know what I'll do when she finally has to leave!

Pretty in pink, just four days old.

Chillin with Aunt Laura.

Loves to sleep in her car seat.

And we have worn ourselves out.

First bath.

Big brother, was so excited to help.

No tears, until we pulled her out of the bath that is.

Daddy time.

Family snuggle time, unfortunately Dad was working.

Just so sleepy.

They just couldn't keep up with mom and Grammie.

More Mommy time.

Three weeks old!

Kisses from Grammie will make it all better.

Fed and content in Grammie's arms.

Although these pictures seem like we have stayed inside the past three weeks, we actually haven't. We have been to Church three times, several playgroups, ABC Sports, a baby shower for a friend, shopping, swimming and a few other trips but I have not managed to take a picture while out and about. I will try and get some at our next outing. Well I am hoping all the pictures will please the grandparents, Aunties and whoever else out there wanting to see more pictures.
