Chloe Elizabeth is here! (And almost 4 wks old!)

It’s safe to say we are terrible about keeping up this blog, but how could we not write a post about our newest addition to the family!! Chloe Elizabeth was born October 21st and it’s hard to believe she will be 4 weeks old on Wednesday already! We are so proud of her and think she is the sweetest baby girl we have ever seen :) A little bit about her . . . She loves to be swaddled and is easily soothed by a combination of the vent fan in the kitchen and us holding her and jigling her round and round (hard to describe but if you are around us very much. you will see it! :) She pretty much only sleeps in her swing or bouncer seat and is NOT a fan of the bassinet due to its flatness (we think). She eats every 2-3 hrs during the day and has gone as long as 5 between feedings at night. She is growing at a faster rate than her brother did. . . was up to 9 lbs 2 oz at her 2 wk check-up and was discharged from the hospital at 7 lbs 15 oz. Levi, on the other hand, left the hospital weighing 8 lbs and was just 8 lbs 12 oz at his 2 wk check. She does a good job at letting us know that she hates the car seat, is bored, or hungry! Her cries are so shrill and desperate and we really don’t remember these cries with Levi. But, she is easily consoled for the most part and a walk to the kitchen fan can sooth her most fussy moments :) We love her so much and are so thankful that God has entrusted us to be her parents! Here are a few recent pictures of our little sweetie:
