Some Thoughts

I cannot tell you how much I love my new little girl. She is such a calm baby and makes the cutest noises. She is definitely a mommy's girl. If she had it her way she would be held at every moment. Heidi has adapted to her so well. I've never seen Heidi happier now that she has a friend. All she ever wants to do is kiss the baby. She even tries to scoop her up into her arms. Thankfully she isn't that jealous when I hold Trudi, probably because she has gotten use to me holding her. But when Gus holds her, then that's a whole different story.

Heidi can sometimes get confused with what is hers and the baby's. My mom bought me a bouncer for Trudi, which she barely uses at the moment, because Heidi is convinced it's her new special chair to watch tv in.

A friend of my mom's was kind enough to buy me a double stroller a few weeks back. I wasn't sure at first how Heidi would act in it when we tried it out for the first time this past week. I was almost sure she would beg to get out and walk instead of being pushed but I decided to give it a try. So I reclined the back seat and put Trudi on it and sat Heidi on the front seat. Let me tell you, Heidi thought she was a queen. She just sat back the whole time and let her surroundings entertain her. When we got home and I took her out, she made it clear that she wanted to live in that seat. Now I can't even touch the folded stroller, otherwise she will start screaming out of excitement, thinking that we are going on a walk.
