Uncle Austin & Jillian

Austin has been SO good with Jillian! He was very very curious about her at first. Smelling her, turning his head like only a dog can do when she cried, but he's also been really gentle. He keeps his distance and obeys us remarkably well when we tell him to 'get back'.

I think he's even starting to like having her around, crying and all. Wherever we go in the house Austin is right behind us. Even when I simply get up to go change her diaper, he comes and lays at my feet. When she's screaming, he's not phased - he just lays next to us and falls asleep!

Here are a few pics of Uncle Austin with Jillian.
Here you can see our second make-shift nursery :) For the first few weeks I slept on the couch with Jillian in the playpen so Jeff could get uninterrupted sleep. I've been slowly transitioning her into her crib more, so I can get back to sleeping in bed... ahhh!!


Here's a picture I took of on my IPhone a few days ago. Austin came and propped his head on the boppy beside her - too cute!

So here is a real-time shot of Jillian and I right now. As I stated in a previous post - she has 2-3 long periods of being awake. Sometimes those turn into fussy periods; usually she's pretty easy to soothe - not so today!! I think she's almost hoarse from crying so much. poor girl! So I finally figured out a way to keep her happy/content - I pull the swing over by me so I can keep an eye on her (and play on the computer), pop the paci in, wrap a light blanket around it so it doesn't fall out every 5 seconds and then pray she's happy! Don't worry, I never wrap a blanket around her when I'm not right there watching her. :)

Here's the chair I'm sitting in.

And Now I just hope she stays some-what calm!
