Well, it's been 3 weeks since our little Jonah was born. What a difference one more kids makes. At first, my sister took Caitlin for a whole week! (awesome sister!!) It was nice to spend a good few days adjusting to having a baby again, when Caitlin came home - she really just wanted to be held, a lot. So the next week was an adjustment to having two babies needing Mamma 100% of the time. (hats off to moms with twins, or just kids really close in age) It really just took Caitlin about 3 or 4 days to adjust ok. At first she tried kicking Jonah or pushing him out of my lap. But we worked it out, and she figured he was here to stay. Now, she has to kiss him all the time. She'll run through the house saying "Nonah! Nonah!" and when she gets to him, "isses, isses" (kisses), then kisses his head and usually smears snot all in his hair. He frequently has pb&j on him too. Haley is continuing to be a really sweet helper with him. She doesn't like to hear him cry at all. She'll stop anything she's doing to run to his side, sing him a song, make sure he's got his paci, or just talk to him and tell him it's ok. She's such a sweet big sister to Jonah!
Last Saturday we went to the zoo. Caitlin and Jonah's first trip. Most of the animals were not really out, but we got to see some. It was really just good to get out of the house as a family and do something outside for a while.

Can't believe how tall Hailey looks. Glad to hear things have calmed down somewhat. I always marveled at how your mom did it with Dabney and you being so close in age. Close ups of the boy child will be appreciated :)
