Awesome big sis!

Elliot loves being a big sis. She wants to help me do absolutely everything. She even says things like, "mom I love my baby sister so much.". I will remind her of this when Delilah is stealing all of her things like only little sisters do:). Elliot's transformation into big sis is pretty good. Our only hiccup is her inability to sleep alone. Last night she slept all through the night without getting one of us (Danny) up at all. I admit that there might have some "Santa is watching you" bribery...harmless right? Anyway, it worked. Delilah's integration into our air breathing family has been good. We found out after a couple of weeks that my milk production was not keeping up and she was continuing to lose weight. We started supplementing and she instantaneously gained her weight back. I am finding the mothers milk tea is helping my production. Right now it is a system that is working and providing Danny with some baby bonding time that he didn't have with Elliot who has never had a bottle ever. She is starting to smile and I've caught some giggles while she is sleeping which is the most glorious sound. She still loves to be held, who wouldn't? But she seems to hate being in the car. This was the same with Elliot and it was just awful the first few months. I can't remember when it got better...locked away in a deep corner of my mind. Having two with this makes me think that something is wrong and it's not just a personality flaw. I'm looking into it and will get back with what works (because something will dammit!). I'm hearing a lot about switching carseats and reflux and about some poor people who are still somehow dealing with it 2 years later...please oh please let this be a quick phase! It's pretty stressful to go anywhere with a screaming baby. Other than that mama trauma, she is delightful and darling. Knowing how much I love my Elliot regardless of what we went thru with her as an infant helps. I lnow that everything is temporary and to grasp on to every little moment because they grow up without you even realizing it. I love my sweet girls.
