Well, our newest little princess is 2 weeks old! I can't believe it! It seems to be going to much faster this time around, probably because I have Josie to keep me extra busy. But we've had a fantastic 2 weeks! Charlotte is growing wonderfully and she's such a great baby! She's already back up to 7 lbs 7 oz (she was down to 6lbs 9 oz) and she's now 19 3/4" long. We are happy to report that her head circumference is only in the 72%ile! (Josie has always been in the 95th..)
At her first appointment (3 days old), the doctor heard a really faint heart murmur. Judging by how it sounded, he was pretty sure it would just go away on its own. Well, it did. Hurrah! Also, the jaundice that we were dealing with is pretty much gone. She's still slightly yellow, but its definitely on its way out.
Here are a few pictures from the last week:


She smiles in her sleep and I finally caught it on camera! So adorable!

As for our other little princess, she is adjusting well to this new life we have around here. She loves her baby sister and loves to tell anyone and everyone all about her. She's also a great little helper! She fetches blankets, binkies, whatever, and gets rid of the stinky diapers. She also gets very concerned if sister cries at all. "Mom, she needs your help!" :)
I wish I had a video camera on her all day long. She says the funniest things! And there is just no way I can remember them all! Here are a few of the ones that make us laugh:
"Um, excuse me sir!" (when she wants someone's attention)
"You bet, mister ma'am!" (after I ask her to do something)
"I willn't!" (instead of "I won't)
"You look beautiful!" (and other variations, including "Your hair is so beautiful!")
"I will be Repunzel and you be the queen Mother." (we like to pretend. And she says REpunzel instead of Rapunzel.)
She tries to rename people. She'll ask what someone's name is and then say, "I will call her.." and usually finish with some gibberish.
She uses "well" a LOT. Usually followed by a long pause.
And she's generally just a silly girl. Here's the proof:

Being a big sister is hard work!

We make sure to have some quality girl time. :)
