Delicious

The Easter Bunny left a couple of candy rings for Schuyler so today we decided it was time to break those out and have a treat ... now as a kid I thought candy rings were AWESOME ... so delicious ... just loved them ... so I figured Skye would love them too ... I mean it is candy that you wear ...

Well I was right ... she LOVED hers and ate the entire thing ... I on the other hand thought it was soooooooo gross ... I took only a couple of licks and couldn't have any more ... it did not bring back the childhood memories I thought it would but I got to relive my childhood love of candy rings through the excitement of Skye ...

 

Moments Together

Kitty Easter

The Easter Bunny had a very Hello Kitty themed day today ... and boy did that make the little recipient very happy ... besides getting candy first thing in the morning she gotta a Kitty basket and Kitty socks ... and even a pair of Kitty tights ... plus little Kitty containers filled with candy and change for her bank ... it was a great morning ...

Krispie Sprinkles

So there has been a commercial on where a mom and her girls make egg shaped Rice Krispie treats dipped in chocolate and sprinkles ... and they just looked so delicious so I figured it would be a great big sister project to do for Easter ... a perfect activity while the little one was sleeping ...

And I was right ... Skye LOVED making them ... she loves chocolate and sprinkles ... and it turns out even though at first she thought the Rice Krispie treats were weird she quickly learned they were delicious ...

The three of us had a great time making them ... I think she might have the same love of cooking that her daddy has ... she is going to have an amazing teacher in the kitchen ... and it turns out it is great mommy and daddy time in the kitchen ... great for everyone ...

Togetherness

Wherever he is you will find her too ...

Pride

Every night Skye asks if she can "hold him" ... and every time she says, "Oh he is so cute and tiny. I just love him" ... she is so proud to be a big sister ... and is just so in love with him ... they are lucky to have each other ...

Catching Up

So we have been home for 6 days now ... and although we are in a routine I am exhausted ...

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning I had to wake Lincoln up every 3 hours to eat ... to keep his blood sugar up and his biliruben down ... it was brutal ... I would wake him up at 3 ... he would eat for an hour or sometimes longer ... then I would lay him down and it would take a little bit to get back to sleep ... by the time I laid down my alarm went off an hour later ... it was very rough ...

We saw the ped on Monday and he said I could start going 4 hours ... and I decided he wasn't eating much after an hour so if I started feeding him at 3 ... by 4 we were finished so I got 2 to 3 hours of sleep at a time ... then the last two nights he has decided he doesn't really want to sleep so much at night ... well not really that ... but he has a sixth sense for when I lay down and cries ... I get up ... pat him ... give him a binky ... lay back down and he cries again ... just not sure about that ... twice now I have just brought him to bed with me so I can get an hour or two of sleep ... since I am still sleeping propped up I can't turn over or anything so it works out well ...

Schuyler is fully in love with her brother ... she has proclaimed him her best friend ... she constantly thanks me for her baby ... she wants to help feed and change him ... in the morning she runs to the pack-n-play to check on him ... it is just great ... I hope she can keep up these feelings when he is able to touch her stuff ... and any time she asks to go somewhere or for some sort of snack she says Lincoln needs one too ... I'm just so proud of her ...

And David just got home so that means mommy is off to take a nap ... WOOOOHOOOOOO
