Growth Spurt?

Mikayla seems to be going through a growth spurt. She has been nursing at least every 2 hours all day and night. This morning her cheeks looked visibly fuller. You can imagine my surprise when yesterday I put her in a sleeper that fit her perfectly when this same sleeper had been miles too big a few days prior. I was absolutely shocked that she could have grown so much but figured it was due to her legs stretching out more. Well, it all made a little more sense when this morning I realized that she has two sleepers exactly the same although one is sized 0-3months and the other 3-6 months! Phew! I don't mind Mikayla growing but that seemed a little excessive. I have been enjoying a baby that actually wears newborn diapers and newborn sleepers.



Tomorrow the girls are heading to Vancouver. It will be me, my mom, Caileigh and Mikayla. We are going to visit my grandparents. They are 91 and 93 and it is so important that they can see their new great-granddaughter. Sean and Aiden are staying home to enjoy some "guy" time. I think their plan is to stay up late watching hockey and eating popcorn. Normal guy stuff. We will be home late Thursday.











One concern I had with Mikayla arriving was that the older two would get antsy spending more time at home. We are normally running around to different activities, walks or just playing outside. They have actually adjusted really well and often request "home days". We keep busy with various projects like yesterdays shaving cream in the sink or painting/colouring. Yesterday we decided to get out for a walk and as we were walking along Aiden exclaims, "Gosh it feels good to get some fresh air!" I agree and hopefully we can start to get out more often!
