Daddy's girl

I end up taking care of Cassidy most of the time - I think Joe prefers to play with the older ones, but he is quick to help when I need him! One night she just would NOT go back to sleep and I was exhausted. Crying. He quickly came in and grabbed her and took her to the couch so I could get some sleep.  He'll walk around the block to try to keep her awake and hope she sleeps better at night.

24th

The 24th we decided to be brave and travel down to Davis County to be with family.  One of the hardest things about having a newborn is being stuck at home, especially when there are so many fun things to do outside!  Luckily the kids have had lots of neighbors to play with, and Joe takes them out. We spent the morning/early afternoon at my parents house and the kids got to play with cousins and had a water party.  We went over to the Chambers for dinner, and some driving!  The kids love these toys - they would drive these for hours if I let them!

Sleepy girl

It has been a while since we have had a baby in our house, but I don't remember the others sleeping so much!  There have been a few days where I don't feel like I have seen her eyes!  She does this scary thing where she swallows, but can't breathe and the gasps really loud and screams!  She also spits up/gags up a lot of milk, so we tilted her pack and play that she sleeps in. She likes to sleep in her swing, and also her bouncy chair.  And man - she poops a lot.  I have to change her diaper at night just to keep her awake, and she'll poop a couple times before and after so we go through a LOT of diapers!

Abigail kept asking why I don't comb her hair down - I had to show her one day that even when I do comb it down, it will just stick right back up!
