Jill's One Month Old!

Jillian turned one month old on the 12th, and I can hardly believe it. Truly, this month has flown. Jill is a pretty easy baby, and we are counting our blessings, especially considering we have a toddler to take up any slack in the "needing attention" arena. Poor Kate has been sick nearly the entire month since Jill was born. Needless to say, I will welcome spring with particularly wide open arms this year.

When Jill was first born, I didn't think she looked much like her big sister. But as the weeks have passed I definitely see a resemblance. Here are some pictures of the two of them from roughly the same age. What do you think?

Here's a picture to commemorate Kate's absolute favorite pastime in the world right now...playing Mommy. And of course she must use the real baby equipment. There's a baby doll or stuffed animal in the swing, bouncy seat, car seat, and pack-n-play at all times. We have had discussions about how the real baby takes priority, and thankfully Kate is being very understanding. But, beware--if you enter our house with an infant car seat, I guarantee that within 30 seconds Kate will ask you if she can play with it.



Here's Kate also playing Mommy with her new camera . . .

Jill's only really needy time tends to be in the 11pm to 1am time frame, and Josh has been great about staying up late with her. He says she is the perfect size to fit on his chest while he plays video games.

Another sweet pic of father and daughter.

We are so grateful that Jill is a happy and mild mannered baby. Here's hoping the next few months bring more of the same!
