updates

Well things here have been hectic- Aaron is very colicky which has me up a lot at night and then during the day and evening he has periods of crying which is pretty much inconsolable. We try everything to soothe him and it is very difficult to say the least. There are some days where it is not as bad as others and I am thankful for that- it gives me energy to get through the next bad day. As for Aaron he is one month today!! He is over 10 lbs because he was 9 lbs 14 oz over a week ago and he is an eater! Erica is doing well she is getting her molars and I feel so bad for her- her hands (or anything else) is jammed in her mouth - we have brought out the teethers again! It is amazing how smart she is - though stubborn at times as well.
We are having new pics taken on friday- we have not had any new ones in months or Erica and of course we need to update our family pic. Will post soon.

Big sister

Like I have said the past two weeks Erica loves Aaron so much- she lays with him on the play mat and has gotten somewhat better about not laying on him- Yeah!- but she has learned to get his pacifier when he cries, give me a blanket to cover him up and even rub his tummy as she sees me do many times because he is so gassy. We are always running his legs, rubbing his tummy or trying to burp him)



Erica and Aaron at home - Aaron only a few days old.

My favorite of them so far-They look so cute!


Erica

Here are a few new pics of Erica that I thought were so cute! Erica was sitting on her chair reading her book she often sits like this and we finally got a picture of it- So Cute!!



Here was a day a couple weeks ago when it was really chilly out- I bundled her up to go to the park just to get out of the hour for a few mins. She went doen the slides a few times which she loves to do... but here is her giving such a cute smile.
