Easter & JaCee's 1st trip away from home

A week ago today, JaCee spent her 1st day"s" away from mom & dad. Other than the night Morgen was born, she has not stayed without mom & dad. Grandma & Grandpa on the river wanted to keep her for a few day's to give me a break & be able to spend alone time with Morgen. The trip went well. JaCee did good for grandma, went to bed good & took good naps. On Saturday, we made our way over the mountain to get our little munchkin. It was nice having peace & quite...although I did miss her the most in the evenings...missing out bath & bedtime routine. We spent Easter having an Easter egg hunt, eating lunch & traveling back over the mountain. Below is a picture of JaCee at Grandma's house.



Morgen is doing good...she's getting big. At her 2 month appointment she weighed 12.2lbs. She's currently wearing 3-6 month size clothes. She's still a good sleeper. She would sleep straight through our day's if we would let her. She gets up once or twice at night to eat, depending on what time her last feeding was & what time she falls asleep.

Here is Morgen on Easter, waiting for her bath...




She really can smile now!

At JaCee's 2 month appointment, we were referred to 2 different specialist. One for her eyes, and the other is Shriners Hospital for surgery on her thumbs. The tendons in her thumbs are too short, so she can't extend her thumbs all the way. We will see what the eye Dr says about her eyes. If she is concentrating on something you say, she turns her head slightly to her right. We will see if it's habit or something more.

JaCee is adjusting very well to Morgen now. She loves to show her everything she does. Today she showed Morgen the book I was going to read to her. She also loves to put Morgen's "binkie" in her mouth the minute Morgen makes a noise. Or she runs to me & says "Mo-gun's fussing Mom" ... I love watching them together & I can't wait until Morgen is old enough to play with JaCee. Morgen knows her sister's voice & when she is awake, you can see her looking for JaCee in the room ... once she finds her she will watch what she's doing...I would love to know what she's thinking. Ha!

Next on the docket --- our 1st professional photo shoot on Monday! I am keeping low expectations as JaCee is in a phase of not wanting her pictures taken & you are of course at the mercy of an 11 week olds mood for the day. I'll post the pictures when I get them in.

Here's a picture of the girls together:
