Guess Who is Three Weeks Old

We have reached the three week mark! What a good girl we have...when she is asleep!  That sounds awful but, really she has hit a crying phase.  She sleeps like a champ.  She came out sleeping all night except to eat every 3 hours but, lately she has been really fussy.  I don't want to be the mom who always blames their child crying on being sleepy but, most of the cases it is since she is so tiny.  She is very predictable!  Unlike Harry she thrives on a schedule. She went to the park for the first time! We were there for three hours watching Harry play in the sand and with Jake!  Georgia Kelley slept most of the time.  She enjoys the swing and the bouncer...no suprise there! Have I said she is in a crying phase?  I took this picture today.  It really was nap time here but, this has been a common look for about 30 or so minutes a day...not continious but, over all.  I remember Harry going through this too.  My mom reminded me that she is a baby and that is what babies do!  I don't know why I expected her to just not cry ever!  She and Harry are different babies, that is for sure!  Harry was NOT a good sleeper or eater and she came out a champ in those departments!   They are both napping right now, I am enjoying the time to update!
I have a funny Harry story.  As most of you who have been around Georgia Kelley and Harry, know that he calls her "his baby"!  A lady at the grocery store asked him if she could take the baby home with her and he gritted his teeth and looked at her and said "NO! She is MY BABY!"  I was a little embarrassed but, in the same way so proud!  He loves her, that is for sure!    Since she has been born his fits are rare, he is quick to help me any time I ask, and he respects her..most of the time. He opens doors for me when I am pushing the stroller, without me asking!  Harry always checks to see if my glass of water is full while I am nursing her.   He likes to put his head on her a little too much!  He is truly a wonderful big brother and has been a dream to work with since she has come. I am saying this, yes to brag but, really to document.  Harry can throw a fit with the best of them and can give Chad and I a run for our money on not minding but, in the last 3 weeks we have been thankful those outbursts have been limited.  The only thing I can complain about is his potty training has completely regressed!   He asked me if he could wear pull ups yesterday!
I am going to see if I can catch a nap before the Miss wakes up!

Griffin went through that same exact crying stage. I panicked! Creighton never cried and I didn't know what to do! I started saying he was my difficult child when really he had silent reflux. It will pass soon! Now, he's already three months old and much happier. And, he takes the shortest naps ever! So very different than Creighton.

And Georgia Kelly is beautiful! I'm glad Harry is proud to be her big brother.
