Yeah, I guess we'll keep her...

Wyatt seems to be warming up to Hadley a bit. I still wouldn't say he's in love, but he has stopped yelling "NO!" and running away every time we mention her to him. He even said he wanted to hold her, but shied away a bit when it came time to actually do it. At least it's a step in the right direction...

Going in for an open-mouthed kiss...

I'm so glad my parents are here to give Wyatt some extra attention so he doesn't feel completely left out. I've already had some guilt about this. Several times he has tried to tell me something or request something and I've been nursing Hadley. I spend so much time feeding her, I'm wondering if I should just permanently attach the Boppy pillow to myself. I feel like I've grown a 5th appendage! When I didn't respond to him right away, he slowly walked off and quietly said to himself "mommy too busy..." This broke my heart just a little bit. Twice now Wyatt has brought me some books and tried to climb up in my lap while I was nursing Hadley and I felt just terrible saying "Not right now, buddy. Go ask Nana to read it". The look on his face was heart wrenching as he replied "No, mommy. YOU wead it!". So I tried to hold Hadley in the right position to nurse, while also turning the pages of the book, keeping Wyatt from squashing her, and affecting a good amount of enthusiasm for the Thomas story we've probably read no less than 57 times. No easy task, but anything to help ease my guilt.

This afternoon we all went to the park together, our first family "outing". It also gave us a chance to take our new double stroller for a test drive. The weather has been beautiful the past couple of days and it felt good to get out of the house (other than just sit outside on the deck).
