The first 2 weeks with Abby

Abby is 2 weeks old today. The past 2 weeks have gone by so quickly, but at the same time it feels like she has always been here. She and her brother are such blessings to us, and it is a wonderful feeling to have a complete family.

So far, we have been blessed with another baby who likes to sleep. She can sleep through just about anything, including her brother running around screaming. :) She is sleeping for longer stretches during the night, which is exactly what we want her to do! She is growing like a weed, and eating like a little piglet. :) She has changed so much already in her short 14 days. She still looks like Caleb's baby pictures, but is looking more and more like a little girl each day (it might have something to do with all of the bows and headbands I am having so much fun with!!!). :)

Caleb is doing a great job as a big brother. He takes his role very seriously. He is very protective and proud of his sister. He insists on giving her a kiss and hugging her all.the.time. We have to remind him to be gentle with his sister. :) As much as he loves his sister, he also wants her to play with him. He has had a difficult time understanding why she can't eat jelly beans, play golf, and talk. :) I think he thought I was giving birth to another 2 year old!!!

We have been busy in these past 2 weeks. It is amazing how different things are with your second child. We are both much more relaxed, and I feel like, able to enjoy her much more because of that. Abby has also been quite the social butterfly, too. :) She has been to O'Charley's, the plant shop, both of her grandparent's house, and the ball field. She is such a good baby and goes with the flow perfectly.

Here are some pictures of our first 2 weeks together.
