One month old and 4th of July

My cousins who stopped up last week brought Max this hat. He didn't think much of it until a day or two ago and now he wears it all the time, even out to a play date we had yesterday....


My uncle and aunt had a 4th of July picnic, Max had fun on the John Deere!

His happy 4th of July outfit from Aunt Julie (Ally's is below is from her too, how adorable!)

ONE MONTH OLD!!! I can't believe we've had her that long but we have. She's doing great. I feel like she's getting so big. She's pretty good, she sleeps a lot and has gotten pretty good at sleeping at night. We still have some moments but she usually settles pretty well. She eats around 8:30 or 9pm and then usually sleeps till 12 or 1am and wakes again around 4:30ish and then I wake her around 7am to eat before I get Max up. Its not a set schedule but that seems to be a general pattern. She eats about 8times a day and I make sure she gets a bottle every day (3oz) so she stays used to it. Again, its just amazing cause she eats so quickly so I have SOOO much more time on my hands. I feel like I'm torn between which one to hold and play with but they're both pretty easy going most of the time. Aliyah cries if she's awake and wants her paci (even though she keeps spitting it out, she really does want it) but she is sleeping more than half the time anyway. I'm very glad I did have them this close while Max is still napping because afternoons are nap time for all. I can't imagine if I had to stay awake all day every day. Max is good still, he's adjusting. On top of the new sister he's gotten about 6 teeth in the last month or so and still more coming and we're adjusting to just one nap most days (I still put him down for a morning rest even if he doesn't fall asleep, which he still does sometimes anyway) so we have good days and some not as good but all in all he's been really good with her still.

We've had a REALLY hot week and are looking forward to a cooler one where we can be outside again~
