I don't think it's allergies though. Her weight gain has been fine. She does have a rash on her face...it could be eczema (possible sign of food allergies). I think she's just colicky. Her hobbies still include sleeping and eating and crying! She loves to watch Nathan though. She likes to listen to me read to him. It must be my voice!
Nathan is adjusting to baby. Some days he will still tell me-" Baby back Dr. Brasch." He doesn't want her around at times and doesn't like it when I bring her into his room. He continues to have fun at preschool. He loves to paint and is getting better at doing the "academic" projects like coloring. He's still not a big fan of coloring though! He also LOVES to play outside in his sandbox. Now that it's warmer out, it's his new favorite thing to do. He's getting so much better at independent play. He used to stick by my side all day, but now that I have Elizabeth, he plays very well on his own. He's getting so big!
I'm doing much better at adjusting to having 2 kids to take care of. It was a little overwhelming at first (and of course still is a lot of the time), but I'm getting things figured out. Now if only Elizabeth would figure out how to sleep more at night!
So mostly our last 5 weeks have been trying to keep Elizabeth content and trying to make sure Nathan gets some attention!
Nathan and Daddy raking up all those pine needles. Nathan is being a ham.
Elizabeth's 1 month picture
The changing table is one of the few places she'll stay content. Most of the time when she's awake, she likes to fuss and cry. She'll stay here a good 5 minutes!
I think this picture accurately describes what bath time is like every night!
Thanks to Ray and Kim, I have a fabulous new jogging stroller! I hope I can use it a lot.
Sleeping with her bottom in the air! So cute!

I'm sorry Elizabeth is fussy for you!! Lainee was fussier than KJ was, too (in fact, she still is at times!) I'm telling myself that they might switch rolls: as I remember KJ was a pretty content baby and Lainee has been a little fussier so maybe she's getting out the tantrums now that KJ got out when he turned 2. haha Joking aside, Lainee is a very happy baby she just throws fits at times, but I think that is part of the little ones' job description!
I remember when Carl was born the doctor told us that babies are their fussiest between 1-3 months... there is no explination why... Anyway great pictures. I can't believe she is 5 months already.
