Our Minnesota Adventure

Helen is 1 Month! by Sari

Helen turned 1 month! It’s amazing to think that she’s already that old (well almost 6 weeks by now).  We’ve had a good time and a tough time with life as 4.  She is definitly a different kind of baby than Witt was and is, to be honest, a little tricky.  I could be forgetting the first month with Witt but I don’t feel like he cried nearly as much as she cries.  At times it feels like all I do is coddle, sway, rock, walk, shh, and bounce this little girl – and none of it works.  There are days when Rob gets home and I’m nothing but a big mess full of tears.  BUT – she’s a sweet, feisty, strong little thing and I love her! As she’s getting older we are seeing more personality develope and learning what she needs and life is getting slightly more smooth! Thankfully I have Emily, once again – could not do this without her during the day while Rob is at work.  So Emily – thank you, once again, for everything…helping me get things in the car, taking care of Witt, playing with Witt, talking me through tears, reminding me that Helen’s still young and figuring things out, reminding me it’s ok to let her cry =)  and everything else!  The laughs, the walks, all of our outings =)  Couldn’t do it without you!

SO, for Helen’s 1 month birthday Emily’s family was in town – her mom Susan, her sister Mia and Mia’s boyfriend Brady.  It was Memorial Day and we headed to the beach.  Rob unfortunatly had that weekend of call so we saw him for a little bit before he had to go back to the hospital.   We did our normal lounging in the sun, playing in the waves and playing in the sand.
