Never Thought I'd See this Happen

I've been fighting with Cait at bathtime over getting her hair wet to wash it. Tonight, to my surprise, she just laid down in the tub to get her hair wet and to rinse it off! Yay! No fight!

Actually she's been asking to take a bath instead of fighting me to get out of it! Don't know what made the change but I'm loving it!!

Three Weeks Old...already!

Em is getting so big! I can't believe she is three weeks old already!

Emily's First Bath

Emily, much like her big sister, did not enjoy her first bath! She did enjoy the hoodie towel that dried her off and made her warm again!!

My First Reactions

Ok, when I was pregnant with Caitlin we decided to not find out the gender of the baby. That was a lot of fun not knowing! With Emily we decided to find out since we had a lot of girl stuff so we were prepared for another girl but if we were having a boy we needed to get the girl stuff out and get some boy stuff in! It was fun knowing we were having a girl the second time because we got to give her a name that we could call her all the time and paint her room and all that fun stuff!

So when Cait was born and we asked what we'd had and the doctor said "It's a girl!" My first reaction was "A girl?!?" Sean is the first son of a first son for something like 7 generations so for us to have a girl was very exciting!! My first reaction when Emily was born was "Oh my gosh, she looks just like Caitlin!" Even though she had 3 weeks and almost 2 pounds on her, Emily and Cait look very similar in their first few days! I can't wait to see what Emily will look like in a month or so!

Here are some pictures of the both of them on the day they were born and a couple days after!

Caitlin's Gotten So Big!

Cait has gotten so big and it's even more apparent now that Emily is here! I just keep thinking how did you get so big! She loves pretending to take pictures of everyone and also LOVES shoes. She walks better in my heels than I do... I've truely got a girly girl on my hands...HELP!! She's such a cutie and so sweet, I love watching her grow and learn and listen to her vocabulary develop!

Emily Claire

Emily Claire Forquer was born August 2, 2011 at around 2:30pm! She was 7lbs 6oz and 20.5in long! She had a follow up at 3 days old and weighed in at 6lbs 15oz! She is wonderful and we are all very excited to have her in our arms now! Caitlin loves being a helper and any time we go to change her she pulls her step stool in the room and helps keep Emily calm! It's absolutely adorable!!
