Adjusting

We are all adjusting to having little Mia here. She's really not smaller than Mollie was but she just seems smaller. Her head is tiny and she still has little bird legs. I think Morgan and Mollie just had large heads and gained weight faster! I was concerned last week at her 1-week dr appt because she was seriously pooping every 20 minutes...which led to a very red, raw painful bottom! They said it was normal to poop with each feeding but this was a little excessive. Fortunately, she hadn't lost weight, but had only gained 2 oz since we'd been home. We go back again Wednesday (2 weeks) and I hope she's gained some more.
Jason has been a huge help with the big sisters so far. He is at times getting a little stir crazy (we all are!) since he's not used to being home all/most the day. Last week, they went to a movie, to the library to see a magician, out to lunch a couple times, to the driving range to hit golf balls, etc. I think he's finally seeing that they fight and argue less when they get out of the house for a little while. They would be perfectly content just going to the pool every day, but Jason doesn't enjoy it like they do!
Here are some more pictures from the last week or so.
Morgan still loves to hold Mia and will sit for over an hour doing it if she's quiet. I've run out for a couple errands and left her in Morgan's arms (Jason was home too!) and returned to her in the same position!
Mollie holds her too, just not for as long. She just tells me about 10x a day "Mommy, I love my baby sister!" So sweet!

Reading with ALL my girls!!! Morgan and Mollie were getting ready to nap and Mia was already asleep on me!
Wide awake after a bath! Aren't I sweet? And wow, my hair and eyes make me look more like Daddy, but everyone still says I look like my sisters in the face!
Sleeping with Daddy on the couch!
Mollie just cracks me up! She usually doesn't want to get dressed or get her hair fixed until we are going somewhere and have to. But the last couple days, she's been coming downstairs already dressed on her own. And she amazingly is very good at matching!!!! Yes, I've taught her well. This was today's outfit and yesterday she had a red flag 4th of July shirt on with a jean skirt! Matched fine, just past the holiday!
Sunday was national "Take your daughter to the golf course day" so Jason took Morgan to this free golf lesson with some very well known instructor..Nancy ? She had a great time even though she was really supposed to be ages 7-17. They let her come since she's 4 months away and tall. Mollie was VERY upset that she couldn't go so J took them both the the range today!


I love this clip because it looks like she's trying to smile...and then fuss! Check it out!
