Such a helper

Ignatius jumps at the opportunity to help give Maeve a bath

Not sure if Maeve enjoys his help

Independent play

Ever since Maeve's arrival Ignatius has started independent play. It's so cute to hear him talking to himself and having such a great time. 


Peek-a-boo

What a wild child

Can you see the joy on his face and his sprinting full force into his father?

Maeve is in awe constantly 

Cozy

Truly one of the best feelings in the world. 

He's definitely smitten

I was aware that Ignatius loved babies, but I never suspected he would take such a liking to being a big brother. 





"You come near here and I'll beat you!"

Nothing says love like a face licking




Dinner is served

Maeve's worried that she's on the menu tonight

Smarty pants


Back to our routine

We were itching to get out of the house and take our nightly family walk. 

Maeve is a great addition to our ritual. Iggy seems pleased as well. 

Maeve's visit to the pediatrician

Last monday we had a visit to our doctor. I was anxious if I was feeding her enough because all she wants to do is eat, I questioned if my milk supply was adequate. Well Maeve's weight was 7 lbs 10 oz, back to birth weight and then some in less than one week. What a relief!

Now lets get home and eat some more. 

It's a bat baby

Going through bins of clothing for Maeve, I came across a bat costume that Julian wore (when he was 9 months old mind you). It's a shame it's too small, he does make a cute bat. 

Showing off his wing span

Boy oh boy

And the toddler antics begin

Cousin Love



Maeve is not happy with her meal time being postponed for a photo op


"Ok I guess she can stay"

Interests sparks 



"Aren't I cute?"



One big happy family


Kisses for Maevey

"Ok Mom I gave her a kiss, now what?"

Poor Chauncey

Night time cuddles

One of my favorite parts of the day is at night, when I can snuggle with my little girl and enjoy her being awake and alert. 

Da and his babes

Maeve really trying hard to do her best Taylor Swift impersonation and fold her hands into a heart.

Park time with Da

Ignatius is happy to escape to the park for some quality Da and Chauncey time.



Our little doll




Welcome home Maeve


Snug in her carseat ready to head home


Ignatius was intrigued to see his sister

Oh hi there
