Cora loves holding and hugging her baby sister. I just have to remind her not to lean her weight on Esther when she hugs her.
Playing on the floor together.
Work those neck muscles!
I took these three today. Isn't she getting so big? Her 2 month appointment is on Monday, so we'll get to find out how much she weighs now. I'm excited!
She likes this baby gym in small doses. She'll lay there for a while and look at the toys, then get bored and cry to be picked up. She loves her bouncy chair, though. It has a seahorse and starfish hanging over it, and she will stare at them for ages. She'll be happy in the bouncy chair for 15 minutes at a time, which is a big deal for a 2 month old.
It's Cora and the Esther bunny!
(I was so proud of myself for thinking of that! I will probably have to take a picture like this every Easter.)
(Doesn't Cora look so grown up? Holy cow!)
Friends ask me on occasion how I'm adjusting to having two kids. Honestly, it has barely felt like a transition. Maybe it's because I had either Josh or his mom (and sometimes both) at home with me until Esther was 3 1/2 weeks old. Maybe it's because Esther sleeps so well in general. Maybe it's because I can easily ignore a messy house (most of the time). Maybe it's because Cora hasn't been jealous (much) or regressed at all. Getting out of the house is complicated, though. Cora walks down the stairs, and I bring Esther down in her car seat. We store the stroller in the entry way, which makes it a tight squeeze. I have to maneuver Esther around it to open the door. Then I leave her and Cora on the porch (Cora is almost always very good about staying put) and get the stroller out and down the porch steps and set up. Then I get Cora buckled in, put our bags underneath, and put Esther's seat in the back part of the stroller. Then we're off.
So, happy Easter, everyone! Enjoy the pictures! Remember our Savior and what He did for you.
