Yesterday, Sophie turned 5 weeks. Daddy was sick and stayed home with us. It was nice to have Daddy home for the day... but a trying day for Mommy. Since Daddy was sick, he napped in the morning, so I cared for the two babies. We went for a walk. A little hot for Jack, but he made it. Good nap time for both kids. Both kids cranky by the evening. We are giving Sophie a nightly bath, and letting her sit in a warm tub. She seems to be sleeping better after trying this. She fusses lots in the evenings, and constantly wants to be bounced, rocked and moved around the house. The bath seems to calm her down and relax her. The last two nights we have let her soak in the warm water, and she slept for 5 hours the first night (first stretch) and then 7 hours last night. This is a good pattern and we are going to definitely continue this.
Papa and Gma came home from vacation today, so of course, we had to go visit them. I asked Jack if he wanted to see Papa and Gma, and I got a "super yes" response. I also asked if he wanted to see Mimi and of course, another super yes. So I showered right after daddy left, and it only took us from about 1 hr 15 mins to get ready... not to bad. Jack showered with mommy (so i can watch him) and Sophie cried most of the shower. Quick nurse, and sophie back to sleep. Off to McD's breakfast with papa and gma. Other than Jack spilling coffee on papa, pretty uneventful. Went to Mimi and Pappys to hang out with Aunt Kelley before her surgery. Jack was a busy bee, running his dino rider around and around, and dancing to Mickey Mouse club house- hot dog song. Sophie has slept all day today.
Sophie is still sleeping and so is Jack. I forfeited my nap today to start this blog. Kids are about to wake up... be back soon. :)
