the whites

Well, I still have not remedied the fact that I can't add pictures, so my solution is...a new webpage.  If you want to continue tracking our little family...you can find us at  www.whitesinthevalley.blogspot.com 

Well, for some odd reason I can't seem to get pictures on here.  I'll try to work on it and get some up before it's time to put up 5 month pictures...and update our house ones.  There has been progress on the house...although right now things are at a bit of standstill.

We're off to Ontario tomorrow...YIPPEE!!  Theo is excited about the plane ride.   

Hard to believe a lot can happen in a day.  On Wednesday, upon sticking my finger in Zaeli's mouth I discovered 2 teeth!!!  She's been drooling a lot but I didn't expect those pearly whites to appear quite so soon.  Instantly it felt like she'd grown leaps and bounds, no longer a helpless baby, especially when a few moments later she rolled from back to front.  Then the next day from front to back again.  She really is a mover now, enjoying her excersaucer as well.  This past week Theo has shown a new side, the jealous older sibling side.  He made comments like 'Mom, don't sing to Zaeli', 'Mom, put Zaeli to sleep', and jumping in the excersaucer before I get there with her.  Ah, well, this too shall pass.  So we'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Time never stops.

Well, Zaeli had her first giggles this week.  SO CUTE!!!  I think Skylar manages to get them out of her the most.  I had Theo and Zaeli in a shopping cart and they were just giggling at each other.  She's very quick to smile.  She also no longer stays put when you lay her down, not safe on the couch anymore that's for sure.  I think she may be starting the long road of teething.  She continuously is chomping on her fist and is grabbing things and chomping on them.  She's also packing on the weight.  At her shots 2 weeks ago she weighed 13lbs. 6 oz.   

Well, Zaeli is over 2 months...I'm just slow.  I wonder if anybody looks at this AND 2nd babies are SO different...in SO many aspects.  One of them being photo taking and documentation.  She's very responsive these days...quick to coo and smile.  She's a chubby one too...at 6 weeks she was 11lb. 12 oz.

Hard to believe that Zaeli is already one month old.  She's already starting to coo.  She's growing like crazy, we estimate her to be about 11 pounds or so.  Theo continues to be excited to see her in the morning and at random times during the day when he remembers he has a sister. 

Well, Zaeli is now 6 days old.  She's still sleeping lots...yippee!  Our family dynamics certainly have changed, I feel 10 years older with a second child.  Theo seems more active than ever before and more sensitive as well.  We're also building a house.  I guess we thought life was too dull.  Hopefully we'll be moved in awhile before Christmas.  We'll see how that progesses.
