On my own now

Well, my mom is back in the states, Scott is back at work after the long weekend and I am really on my own with Matthew and Anna. It's been two and a half days and I haven't lost it...yet!! Anna is more alert during the day now and wants to be held all the time...and Matthew is pretty good except when I'm feeding or holding Anna. He's also doing that "I'm very independent" thing where he won't hold my hand when we're out walking or he sits down in the middle of the street if I try to make him hold my hand. He also has ideas about when Anna should be in her bouncy seat. But he has his sweet moments too, like when he tries to hug her or he brings me a diaper or burp rag for her. He's trying. We're all trying.

I love this picture of Anna.
She worked so hard to break out of her swaddle...and then fell asleep...
...and her hair looks very Liza Minnelli here.

More of Matthew helping...he likes to push Anna in the swing and point out the toys and birds to her. Someday she'll appreciate it.
