Hot In... Hot In....

It's been over a hundred now for a week.  It's a dry heat... but 110 is hot no matter how you slice it.  The Falcones have been here since Monday and the poor dogs don't know what to do with themselves.  A new baby is a big adjustment.... then let's add a 2 year old on top of that!  B would rather be outside in the 110 degree heat than inside with screaming toddler and screaming infant.

I have taken some pictures but haven't had a chance to upload anything.  I will definitely get to that soon.... I hope.  Last night was LONG.  Caroline is not fond of weekends.  That is her worst sleep and in turn, our worst nights too. 

We tried to take pictures in Caroline's cute 4th of July outfit.  But since it was on a Saturday, you can just guess her mood.  To add to that barrel of fun, our power went out at 7:30 pm.  It didn't come back on until 2:20 am.  Right as T was getting Caroline quiet, everything powers back up and wakes her up again and she remembered she was mad.  Oh and did I mention that it sounded like we were in a war zone with all the fireworks.  No electricity... screaming babies... sounds of explosions... we could have been in Fallujah.

I can't believe she's over a month old.  I didn't think she had grown any but when I look back at her first pictures, I can tell she has.  She is still freakishly long.  She tends to have T's serious facial expressions.  She's normally pretty content unless she has gas.  However, she has gas a lot.  We are slowly developing a routine.  At least she is now sleeping in her bassinet.  We can normally get pretty good stretches at night.  It normally just doesn't start until 11 pm or so.  About 9, I'm ready for the bed.  But we are doing ok.

We are headed to Baton Rouge this week.  I should have lots of pictures after that.  So we'll see how a 10 hour road trip, broken up into 2 days goes with a one month old and a 2 year old!
