Part of the fun with a new baby is pulling out the baby gear and remembering how cute and precious our little babies were.
It is hard to take the time to remember when you feel like your new baby is not safe using it....because the older siblings are so excited to play with it. Those big, giant, heavy, gigantic kids that are not careful enough around he new baby!
Here is the baby gym all three kids enjoyed playing with. I could hardly get the big kids out of it to safely take this picture!

The Hair
I thought both William and Amelia had similar hair histories.
Not so. (are you on the edge of your seat? this could be big)
It appears William's baby hair all fell out early - around 2 -3 months (see here and here and here) and was showing blonde hair before he turned one.
Amelia, on the other hand lost her dark newborn hair as well. Hers hung on a little longer until she was roughly six months old. (see here and here and here)
What will Gemma do? I'm excited to wait and see (no, really!). It isn't really front page news, but still fun to watch!

Cousins!
Gemma got to meet my sister's baby, her cousin while we were at the anniversary weekend. The girls are just 3 weeks apart in age! So cute!
8 weeks!
Our sweet girl is 8 week old!
We were out of town last weekend helping my grandparents celebrate their 60th weddin anniversary a little early. Gemma got to meet tons of family members and checked 3 states off her list (Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota) as well. Since coming home, I've just been fighting to keep ahead of the game. We have some big milestones coming up:
Next Friday William will go to KINDERGARTEN for his "practice" day and then school starts officially the following Wednesday. I am so confident William is ready, so ready. However, this mama is not quite ready. This is another huge change for our family.
I will be going back to work 2 days a week in another 4 weeks, Amelia starts a new preschool program in 5 weeks. Between now and then we have more traveling to do and a list a mile long. I hope to keep things up around here, but it is going to be a challenge!
Here is a quick lowdown on our little monkey:
Size 1 dipes, size 2 at night. Cloth diapers finally fit! We have been able to use our old supply when we're home for the last week or so.
Size 0-3 clothes are still fitting, but many outfits are now retired. The 3-6 month stuff is starting to fit- particularly one piece outfits.
We are rewarded with smiles all day long from our sunshine, Gemma. She is starting to giggle, which I could just eat up because it is so delicious. Video I suspect will come soon.
We've seen some rolling from her belly to her back, but it is still pretty inconsistent.
Gemma's personality is just so sunny. She loves her siblings, even when they are less than gentle. She is delighted by having anyone talk to her and coos, smiles and "talks" back. She is a delight to have in our family!

7 weeks
Gemma is 7 weeks old. We had to get a little creative as we weren't at home today. Where are we? Stay tuned. I'll tell you tomorrow. Probably.
