A family of four

Well, Laurel has been a part of the family for two weeks now and we are starting to establish some routines to make it all work.  Evenings are the toughest, Laurel is a big eater and there is no saying how many times she will want to nurse between 7:00 and 11:00, of course this is the same time that we are getting Maya ready for bed.  But, we are figuring it out and Maya has been a trooper.  She is a great big sister and loves helping out with, "Baby Laurel".  She showers Laurel with kisses and hugs, can't wait for Laurel to wake up in the morning so she can help get her out of bed, helps with every diaper change and makes sure Laurel always has her blanket and a clean binky (seriously, she takes them all to the sink to wash them!).  There have been a few growing pains along the way and Maya has been a little more sensitive than usual, but that is to be expected and who can really blame her.  Overall, I'm impressed with how she is handling all the change.  Here are some pictures of the last few weeks:
