2 kids=a lot more updates!

So Cash is doing great, we don't have to worry about his jaundice at all, and the doc wasn't worried at all with his possible thrush (since he still eats great and is gaining weight). He's still such an easy little guy, sleeps great and eats well. He seems to poop or pee on me almost every time I change his diaper...still. But I guess as long as he's doing both of those things, that's good...even if it always ends up on me.

Mabelle is adjusting really well. We are on Day 7 of no pacifier...ack! She threw it away last Thusday, because "it was broken" (torn in 2 places), and we were worried about it breaking and choking her. She had a hard time for the first few days...we all did. She became dependent on us to help her fall asleep, when she's been putting herself to sleep for a verrry long time. So that was hard, since it would take upwards of 2.5hrs sometimes to get her to finally fall asleep. We are seeing a light at the end now, she's "going night-night" by herself again, and is so proud of herself for being a big girl (and especially loves the rewards...popsicles & cake).

Mabelle is absolutely in love with Cash, she has even shared her coveted blankie and piggie with him!!! She always wants to cuddle on the couch with him, and gets very upset if you change his diaper without her help. She wants to spend all of his waking moments cuddling, loving and holding him...it's so sweet. We have to remind her to be gentle and are just so happy that she loves him (even if it's too much sometimes)!

I am back to me pre-pregnancy weight...at 2 weeks from my c-section. Now if I could just lose a few more pounds ;) Enjoy the updated pics...

Me, a baby-wearing Mama!!
Mabelle cuddling with her baby Cash. Can you see the love in her eyes??
Multi-tasking...nursing, holding the "moothie", and manning the remote.
At least we have one cook in this house...making cupcakes for Daddy's birthday!
The 3 greatest things ever...(she's giving him some sugar).
Could Daddy look any prouder?
Cheeeeeeeese!
