Hanging in there

I cannot believe 3 weeks have already gone by! I feel like a horrible blogger. Probably because I am. Things have been a bit crazy around here adjusting to two kids. It broke my heart to see how it affected Anisten, but she's doing better now. Lots of changes for a two year old and I knew it would be hard for her. Also, I can't believe how much sleep I do not get! I need sleep to function and it is definitely taking its toll on me. But all in all, we are doing great and loving the new addition to our family. She is already growing so much which makes me really sad. Here are a few pictures of her.

A common pose for her - one arm up :)

Here are a few pictures of her with her eyes open. Rare to see, but getting less rare as time goes on.

Watching basketball with daddy (when Anisten was born it was football). Her eyes actually were open, but I think they closed for the picture

Wide awake and cozy after bath

Precious moments of sleep

This was too funny not to mention. Anisten decided to wear her Easter bucket as a hat. Well, when she put it on, it covered her whole head. The best part about this picture is that she was singing "clean up, clean up" with the bucket on her head.

Such a silly girl

Rob and Anisten got lots of time together while I was busy having/taking care of a new baby. He took her hiking one time and here are some pictures from that. Pretty soon we will all be able to go together. I can't wait (I'm getting a bit stir crazy)!

Cute Cute Pictures! Especially the ones of Anisten and Rob hiking, what a fun time to get some alone time with Dad! Hopefully everything will get better soon, adding a new baby to the mix is always hard to adjust too!
