almost 1 week....

Just some random thoughts and pictures from the last week. 

Alannah is just a little doll, she weighs 6 pounds, 5 ounces fully clothed as of yesterday. So, she is gaining some weight though these preemie outfits are the only thing she isn't swimming in! Even the tiny newborn outfits are huge on her.

Did you know that Huggies and Pampers now have a little colored stripe on their newborn diapers that turn a different color when the diaper is wet? 

I don't know if it has taken me 3 kids to figure this out or if it is something new :-)

Did you know that little girls don't make quite the mess peeing with their diaper off as little boys do? 

The other night Alannah slept almost 5 hours - I woke her up to feed her, but that's a rare moment for me to wake a sleeping baby!  She also napped over 3 hours yesterday afternoon. I guess our car trip to the doctor and back again really made her tired!

Colm, Caeden and Alannah

- you can ignore the leftover dinner still on Colm's chin, it was an unplanned photo moment and I didn't think to wash him before giving him some cake :-)

Caeden is really enjoying his big brother role and often asks to hold her and talk to her. He has asked several times if I could please put her on the floor so they could play together. He was planning on sharing his tools with her when asked what they were going to play. Colm loves her as well, but his concern has been more along the lines of "put baby in her bed now" when he wants some attention.
