one month!

Here is Greta at one month old! For comparison, here's Soren at one month. This picture doesn't do justice to just how much chunkier than her he was. And here are some outtakes- please don't call CPS on me for what looks like attempts to break my baby's neck.


Ahhh, the newborn unfocused wonky eye. So cute.

our water bill just shot up

Before Greta came along one of my worries was that it would be harder to get two kids out of the house, and thus we'd be sitting bored at home. Well, we definately are at home more than before, but Soren has been really good about staying entertained pretty easily. His current favorite is playing in the sink. Don't ask me why, because it certainly doesn't translate to a desire to play in the bathtub, but he just loves running the water and playing with cups. Hey, whatever works!

our sweet little toothpick

Today Greta is one month old! I need to take a picture of her in the rocking chair to kick off the traditional monthly pics like we did with Soren. We are getting into the groove here, to the point where there are actually days where I'm able to manage to think about more than just survival!

Our biggest struggle right now is getting this girl fed. Despite eight trips to the pediatrician and four different lactation consultants Greta still isn't putting on any weight. At four weeks she was exactly at her birth weight. Not cool.

Here are two (illegally stolen) pictures of our little peanut, from our family portrait session when she was one week old. Ain't she sweet? I'll post more when we get the actual prints and I can scan them.
