Here she is with her daddy...

And here she is with her favorite aunt (me)!


Then we had to get some pics of the little cousins together. It's amazing how much size difference there can be when they are just 6 weeks and 5 days apart! The little munchkin's head is twice as big as her little cousin's. It's hard to believe she was that small too when we brought her home.

For Halloween we decided to just stay home. We were planning on going to my sister's house, but decided against it. We watched a movie and played with the munchkin. Next year will be much more fun when she is a year old. I figured that at 7 weeks, she didn't really care too much about halloween yet.
I thought I would throw in some cute pics I have taken lately of the little munchkin and her daddy. They love to cuddle.



Today we tried out the Bumbo. I didn't think she would be big enough to fit in it yet, but she was. She did pretty good too. Her head is still a little wobbly, but she is getting pretty good at holding it up. Her face here cracks me up... she looks so serious.

She has been in a really good mood the past few days too. She had been going through a phase where she would get extremely crabby in the evening for an hour or two, not every day, but maybe every other day. I was pretty sure it was because she wasn't getting enough naps in during the day. She was fighting sleep alot and we would have to coax her into taking her naps. But sometimes she would still be really fussy even if she had plenty of sleep. It was always about the same time. I had read alot about some people calling this the witching hour, so I just chalked it up to that. So it's been great the past few days, without the "witching hour" episodes.
Breastfeeding is going great and I am so glad to have made it through the worst of it. I still have problems with leaking milk all over the place sometimes when she nurses, but I am hoping that will subside over time. I still get extremely full and feel uncomfortable, but definitely not as bad as it was at first. I am just thankful that all of our latching issues are resolved and that there is plenty of milk to keep her full and happy. Although, like today when I spray milk all over her face because it is coming out so fast and she has pulled away, I wonder when it will get better. There is no way I would nurse out in public any time soon... not until this problem works itself out.
So there's a little update on how things have been going around here. Nothing going on with the sale of our house yet.. we've only had 2 showings! I am not too surprised though, this could definitely take a while. I hope everyone had a great halloween! I love seeing everyone's costumes.

She is just so adorable. I love those faces...the one in the Bumbo and the one with the cousin make me laugh. Congratulations on the newest addition...I'm sure you will love being an aunt.
Yay for an update! I really just need to come and see you guys. The pictures are so good! She is getting so big so fast. You can really tell up against her cousin too.
I'm glad things are going so well! Hope to see you soon!
She looks so big in the Bumbo!
Oooooooooh Bumbo! That was our favorite! I'm so glad you tried it! She looks so cute in it!
I can't believe how much she's changed! She still looks so much like Joe...I love it! I can't wait for the next few months to go by so that we can spend a little more time with her (and you guys) once she can be around Logan! :)
That last picture cracked me up, too. So awesome.
Congrats on the niece! Munchkin is looking precious! I love the bumbo pic! I'm sorry the breastfeeding has been a problem, but you sound like you have a great attitude and you know what to do! :D
