At home
Things have finally settled into some what of a routine - as much of a routine as a 3 year old bundle of energy and a 6 week old infant allow. Things were a little chaotic for a few days with little to no sleep and lots of frustration instead. However, things have finally settled a little after we have had a chance to find a balance here at home. Annika has good and less good days. Over all, she's been doing better. She eats more with every meal and doesn't have to eat every two hours. This is great news - especially at night! For a while, she was crying almost every night and we were afraid, she had colic. But, after changing my diet and avoiding some foods, Annika is doing much better. She still has her bad days, but they cannot be compared to those endless nights of crying and screaming. She has finally started to smile back at us and this morning, she was all smiles and "talking" to us.
Mr. Cool here is a big boy and really helpful around the house (when he wants to). He is especially helpful when his dad is at work. He runs to check in on Annika when she cries. After dinner, he rinses the dishes and then of course, he likes to get his own food too. He is usually halfway in the fridge or on a chair in the pantry looking for food.
Annika is doing better holding up her head. She is still very wobbly, but little by little, she is able to hold up her head for a few moments and look around.
We've been expecting arctic like conditions these past days, but instead, the weather has been beautiful. We spent yesterday afternoon outside in our back yard.

Benjamin has these crayons for the bathtub and every evening our bathroom looks like this:
