Seven month old and settling in

Our little baby reached seven months this last week! We've had some crazy times, some fun times and some very sleep deprived times in the last three weeks. Not only was the big sister getting used to the train noise, but she is still in that SometimesIdon'tneedanap stage. 

Otherwise we kind of have a schedule. I go to work from 7am-4pm (central time). Shawn and the girls meet me for my morning break around 9am and after they sometimes go to the park or library or home if G (I think I should mention that i don't actually call my daughters "G" and "Si". These are just my Internet titles for them.) needs her nap. Then I come home for lunch at noon. After G's afternoon nap she gets a sippycup of milk and so far she does much better than a bottle but not quite enough to equal what she usually gets. But I'm usually home soon after 4pm and we have an early dinner!

One or both of the girls have been getting  up at 5am (4am to you mountain time zone folks!) so we have been going to bed pretty early. Still not enough rest to make up for the last few months though and Shawn and I just came down with colds. And G will be cutting teeth soon. But the good news is that I enjoy my work, the commute is nice, and Shawn is a great cook!
