A New Day Every Day

Both girls sleeping in the car... oh, if it was only always this peaceful! I love these two pictures of Scarlett. She is my pretty, pretty girl!!!

if you've already seen Shana's blog, then you've seen Chloe's gymnastics pictures. Scarlett's in the same class (but on a different day) and she loves it, loves it, loves it! She's pretty good at it, too!! Juan's had to take her lately because I've been home with the baby, and I actually miss seeing her there! Hopefully I can pick up soon!

On Easter, we had an easter egg hunt at my parent's house. Scarlett thought it was pretty awesome, especially since the eggs at m and m's inside!! She was COVERED in chocolate and we had to seriously brush her teeth before bed. It was a beautiful spring day and the easter dresses next to the green grass just turned out beautiful! I usually don't like spring (allergies, too hot to hang outside, too cold to go swimming, etc) but this one I am enjoying! Probably because I've been cooped up for so long!

Here's an update on the newest Valdes (who turned 4 weeks old on Saturday): Savannah is a wonderful, wonderful baby!! We thought we had gotten lucky with Scarlett (who was very easy) but so far Savannah is even better than she was. She does not fuss very much, only when she's hungry, and who can blame her for that? She nurses extremely well and doesn't mind when her big sister goes investigating her. But the most important question... how does she sleep? So far very, very well! I'm probably averaging 7-8 hrs a night total, which isn't bad for a newborn! If only Scarlett weren't such an early riser (6:30 AM is sleeping in for her) then I'd probably get around nine hours every night! Oh, I know this can all change in the blink of an eye, but I'm happy at where we are so far. As for the big sister, Scarlett loves Savannah so much. We just got a new car and the two carseats ended up next to eachother. (I like having Savannah's car seat in the m...

Our other memory card has better pictures... but in the meantime, I thought I'd post some from Savannah's first two weeks. She's getting so big already and is such a GOOD BABY. She's sleeping awesome and nursing like a pro. She doesn't seem to fuss that much yet, but I know she's new, so I can't count on anything!! Scarlett is just so in love with her. She always asks "where the baby go?" when she doesn't see her. Of course, there's a little bit of aggression directed at US, but at least she's sweet and loving with the baby! Things are looking UP around here for sure! The first two weeks were a little rough, trying to get Scarlett acclimated and nursing down. But I think we're on a good streak and that it will only continue!!
