New Baby, New Routine


Every time I have a new baby I tend to forget just how much adjustment it takes. It's been fantastic having plenty of extra help from my family this month. I'm not sure I could have managed without them--in fact, I am positive that I couldn't.

Strangely enough, Joliana is not a difficult baby. She is quiet all the time. She grunts when hungry but doesn't cry about it. When she's cold (which is very often), she will whimper one or two times and then stop, even if she doesn't get warmed up. She is so laid back about everything that if whatever has her unhappy isn't taken care of immediately she just sighs once and is at peace again.

She is SOOOO unlike my other three. They were all criers and screamers until they were satisfied.
If she will stay this way, I might make it through teenage years with four girls and most of my hair still intact. One can hope right!!
