Our Little Fish

Keely has turned into a little swimmer this summer. It is the cutest thing, and also very weird to see her so grown up and independant. She swims around the whole pool with her floaties on and just loves it. Sometimes she asks to take them off, and then she doesn't want us to touch her, she will sink to the bottom and kick her legs. It's halarious because you can hear her laughing under the water, her eyes are open and she is kicking away. i will leave her under for a few seconds, pull her up and then she will get mad that I am hanging on to her. It freaks me out that she doesn't get scared that she just sinks to the bottom and can't get up. Our place is so close to the pool that Keely and I go swimming and I take the monitor when Lydia is sleeping. It makes it really nice. She is so much fun, I love that girl.

We are Alive....

Yes we are here and alive, well I am barely. Haha, it's been an exhausting 3 weeks so far. I haven't gotten more than a 3 hour stretch of sleep in 3 weeks. Literally. Nobody told me that having a newborn would be so exhausting. Haha, okay, so I have heard rumors that babies don't sleep throught the night, but I thought that all my babies would. :) Keely was such an angel sleeper, when we brought her home from the hospital, she was already sleeping 5 hour spans at night. I am hoping that Lydia will start sleeping more for me here soon at least by week 5. She has got to be tired too right? So as of now we are just taking one day at a time.

Lydia is such a sweet little girl though, and Keely just loves her so much. Everytime, Lydia is lying on the floor, Keely is either "playing" with her by sharing her toys, reading to her, tickling or laying down by her. It is so cute. I failed to mention, the first day that we brought Lydia home, the first thing Keely did was give Lydia her care bear. And if anyone knows Keely they know that her care bear is her world. She takes it everywhere, and has this weird fedish comfort thing of rubbing it's hand on her nose. So you know she really likes you when she gives you her care bear. :)

Keely loves to cuddle with her daddy, so when Lydia was doing it, Keely just snuggled right in. They are so sweet, and don't let Shawn fool you, he loves his little girls, even though one is obsessed with Princesses. :)

I also wanted to say what wonderful family Shawn and I have been blessed with, especially our mothers. My mom came down to help us during her most busiest time of the school year, which I know was a big sacrifice for her. Shawn's mom is also so wonderful. I don't know what I would do without her living so close to us. What would we do without family? Shawn and I are so blessed.
