Oh my sweetheart, your smile is just so darn cute. You are especially happy and smile-y in the morning, so I fear I have another early bird. I mean, just look at that GIF below and tell me you didn't smile. Your sister can make you smile so big - in fact you are looking at her in the photo above.
We are still breastfeeding, though it was been a pretty rough month. I had mastitis essentially three times all while Arwen had an ear infection, so we were in the doctor's office at least once a week this whole month. Thankfully, we are feeling better!
You wake up about once a night. If I feed you at 10pm/11pm, you generally wake up around 4am, then sister wakes you up as she wakes us alllll up. You still stay up for about an hour at 4am, so we have some nice bonding time ;)
I had a wedding to photograph during this month so it was imperative to make sure you took a bottle. Arwen had been asking to give you a bottle since you were born, so when she finally got to, she was over the moon excited. The wedding went very well for both mommy and daddy with the two kids.
We have been trying to make it out and do fun fall things. So far we have gone on many walks, including walking Moose in the rain, playgrounds, birthday parties, more biking with your sister, and Davis' Mega Maze. Breastfeeding makes getting out more difficult (at least for me), but we are making it work!
Orla, you are just the best fit for our family and we are all so glad you are here. I am so grateful I get to see all your firsts and be here. I try to never take that for granted.
