Sleeping beauties

Well here's a picture of Elizabeth and Emma, our two little girls, on my bed. I went to try and take a better picture of Emma to post, but realized that Caleb got ahold of our camera yesterday and must have turned it on, so.... dead batteries. That's Caleb. He is very possessive of Emma and whenever anyone outside our immediate family is holding her, he says, "That's not your Emma. That's MY Emma."

Emma's doing well I think. She started skipping her 1 am feeding about a week ago so now we get to sleep from about 1o:30 till about 4:00 am. What a great improvement! I think she'd sleep past 4, but we're not letting her try that yet. Maybe another week or so. She still has very light blue eyes and is awake and alert more and more. She loves the ceiling fan and our huge living room window. She smiles at them often!

Elizabeth started school last week. Homeschool, that is. So far so good. She loves it and asks to do school first thing every morning. She'll be an easy one to homeschool. Caleb, who knows? But for now it's going well. She's doing better and better at writing her name, and she very much enjoys her math. It's hard squeezing it in between feedings sometimes, but we have an okay routine for now.

Today we met our new neighbors across the street. They're white, which is weird for this neighborhood. They have a granddaughter who is 5 living with them temporarily, so she came over and played with Elizabeth for awhile. Elizabeth is beside herself to have a playmate across the street. She could hardly finish her dinner! Girls!!!
