Mercedes is growing fast. At about 5 weeks, she was 9 pounds! She has especially long skinny arms and legs (Isaac thinks she may have his). She smiles all the time. She has even tried to laugh, but whenever she attempts a giggle, she ends up with the hiccups instead! Cyprus still loves her sister. If she cries, Cyprus runs to her and says, "shhhh, it's ok Mercedes" in a little sing-song voice. She sleeps pretty well, eating once or twice at night. She is falling into a nice schedule, I feed her twice in a row, swaddle her, and put her in bed between 9 and 10. She usually falls right asleep and eats around 3 or 4. A few mornings, she will make it to 7:30 after that feeding. Usually it is closer to 6. We sleep in around here... usually til 8:30 or 9:30. Cyprus is like a teenager and wants to go to bed late and sleep in! She was up more than Mercedes was last night! It is fun having 2. I love it, I love saying, "I will meet you with the 'girls'" or "kidS" Plural is weird... What is it like with 3? or 4!? Anyway, through the craziness, we are a little happy family.
