Two Weeks

Can you believe it's been two weeks since Eliza was born? (and maybe a couple more days too.) We can't quite believe it and we've been living with her the whole time! Transition to life with two has been relatively smooth. Hayden had some difficult moments in the first few days, throwing some especially awesome tantrums for us and the grandparents, but generally she's handled the arrival of Eliza quite well. As it was with Hayden these first two weeks have been a blur of grandparent visits, nursing and not much sleeping so I don't have a lot to narrate. I think I'll just post some pictures from the last couple weeks, with captions of course, and then I'll need to go feed Ellie before heading to bed. (yes we switch back and forth between Eliza and Ellie; we're still try - feel free to use whatever name works best for you!)

"hi baby!"
as Jason pointed out, Eliza is going to have a very different perception of personal space than Hayden...

Eliza meets Lachlan!
Eliza was actually the last baby of the 'preggo posse' to make an appearance. Lachlan upstaged her (despite being due 2 weeks later) by about 4 days when he arrived on Sept 20.

getting her feet wet - at least someone enjoyed all the rain we've been having!

After being cooped up for most of a week with rain, we decided to brave the cool weather and go to Harner Farm to check out the pumpkins and ice cream before Grandma and Poppop left. Hayden loved pulling the pumpkins around in the wagon.

This is the chosen one!

what big eyes you have Eliza!

After Grandma and Poppop left, Grammy and Granddad came to visit. Again, the weather was quite yucky but we did manage a visit to a local park in some sunshine. We even let Eliza out of the wrap to enjoy the warmth!

Cutie pie Hayden!

And one last picture of our two favorite girls. They keep us busy but we love it!
