Four weeks as a family of 4!

I can't believe Elizabeth is four weeks old and one day. She has been home with us now for two weeks and two days. The past two weeks have been very busy! I had my mom's help until Sunday June 12th. This week and next week I have a girl from church helping me in the afternoons for 4 to 5 hours. She is a great help and Will loves playing with her. Having her here has allowed me to take care of Elizabeth and to get some rest or things done around the house. 

Leighton has been back to work for two weeks now. We have done well adjusting to him being back to work. I'm still recovering from my c-section but every day I'm getting a little better. I'm hoping I can go back to lifting Will in the next two weeks. He is just a little heavy for me to carry.

William is adjusting well. He does have his moments of jealousy, but we are managing. He is getting ready to walk any time. He cruses around the furniture and is starting to only hold on with one hand and taking steps. He will stand on his own for a few seconds and then sit down. He is growing so fast! He will be 13 months old tomorrow and is about 20 lbs now!

Elizabeth is doing well here at home. She went to church for the first time on Sunday. She has attended a few mom's groups with Will and I. She is getting bigger and starting to have a little more awake time each day. She loves to eat, eat, eat!

Being a mom to two is wonderful! It has a lot of challenges and is a lot of work but very rewarding! We have had some tough days but I wouldn't change it! I look forward to the days and years ahead, watching them grow and learn.
