introducing Rosemary ...

All hail Photomaster Mindy ... Rosemary's first pictures are now up on our page. All is pretty quiet around here. Rosemary seems to be catching on to nursing, which was a bit of a concern for me at first so I'm glad she's done better the last couple of times. She sleeps ALL the time, unless she's eating and even then she tries to sleep through that. She squeaks when she cries, and doesn't like having the hiccups.

Summer is generally good about her so far. She wants to climb on our lap when we're holding Rosemary, so we're learning quickly to have both of them at the same time. She gives the baby kisses which is cute, but we have to watch so she doesn't poke her in the face when pointing at the baby's nose or ear or whatever. (We're learning body parts right now, particularly the nose.) The perspective on her size has been startling. Last week, she was still our tiny light-weight compared to the other kids in her playgroup. In the last 5 days, she seems to have gotten REALLY heavy and a lot more solid and become a big kid, especially compared to how tiny Rosemary is. And when we think about how Summer wasn't too much bigger than Rosemary to begin with, the major growth she's had in 17 months is mind-boggling.

The funny thing is... if you look at Summer's two hours old and day old picture and then look at Rosemary, they look exactly the same! Are you sure you had another baby and aren't just putting up pictures of the same kid? Wait, there's one with Summer and Rosemary.... Cloning? (just kidding!) She'll grow up to be a cutie because Summer's one and I think they'll always look like sisters. (And sisters are the best!)

Yeah, they do look a lot alike. I noticed that too. But she is very cute.
