All is well

Just a quick update about nothing. Eve is doing very well.  She is healthy and happy.  She has adjusted so well to her new bed.  She definitely keeps us laughing.  We were watching video that was taken a year ago in her school.  It is amazing how much older she looks now.  I suspect that is in part because her hair has changed - she is growing out her bangs.  She is so beautiful.

Seamus is also doing well. His next doctor visit is next week, so I'll report his height and weight then.  He doesn't seem too wild about his bottles and often doesn't finish them.  I have no idea how much fluid he takes when breastfeeding.  When it comes to food, however, he's a little eating machine!  It's unbelievable how much that boy fits in his stomach.  He quickly polishes off 3.5 oz of baby food (a size 2 container) and about a 1/4 to a 1/3 cup of cereal twice a day.  We've added a third fruit or veggie around lunch time, as well.  Jim let Seamus hold Eve's sippy cup the other day.  OMG, he grabbed right onto it and raised it to his mouth!!  So, I'm going to buy him his own sippy cup (with handles) and give him small amounts of water to experiment with.  Oh, and he has slept through the night for the past two nights.  I hope this trend continues! 
His schedule right now is:
7am awake and nurses. 
8:30 fruit and cereal.
10am takes a nap (not terribly long). 
11:30 nurses
12pm fruit or veggie
1pm nap
3pm nurses
4:30 veggie and cereal
6pm bath, book, nurses
6:45 asleep for the night.
He's been waking up around 3 or 4am to nurse, but I'm hoping that will get dropped from the schedule soon. 
He's a happy kid and really easy going.  We're very lucky.

Seamus and JoJo

Seamus has been obsessed with Josie and her tags lately.  It's so cute. 

Roll

When Jim got Seamus out of bed this morning, he was on his stomach! This is so exciting for me because Eve NEVER did that. Seamus can already do things that Eve cannot (which is bittersweet), but they have been skills she's lost due to regressions. This is the first skill she never had. It's encouraging. I'm so scared for him because we thought Eve was typical (with some slower development) for about a year after she was born. But every milestone he hits is encouraging.

Turned a corner

Eve turned a corner overnight. Her fever broke and she got more sleep than I expected. She's still very congested, but her cough sounds better.
