The Girls...

Eva E @ 1 Month

Here she is at a month old.  We can't believe how fast she has grown this month.  She's begun smiling and started her baby talking.  Overall, she is still a very good sleeper, but seems to be a bit of a night owl.  She doesn't like to go to sleep before 1am!  

My new favorite game...

My new favorite game to play with Veta is a reversed roles game.  She likes to be the mother and I am the little boy.  She wants me to go to sleep, so she makes me get in her bed, she covers me up, prays for me, kisses me and tells me to go to sleep.  If I wake up before it's time, she gets mad at me.

This is a blessing in disguise, especially at a time when we try to catch a catnap whenever we have a chance!  Five to ten minutes will always work for me!

Our family of four...

We were told that in some ways the second baby is easier because you're not so worried about every little thing, but harder in the fact that you have to divide your attention between two children.  Well, both statements seem to be proving true.  But I also think that living in a foreign country increases some of the stresses of getting adjusted to a second child.

For the most part, I think we are doing well.  Eva is a healthy, sweet little girl.  She sleeps well and eats even better.  She has grown so fast these last couple of weeks.  Veta has been a good big-sister, always trying to help, but continues to be a little too rough with her new little sister.  Please continue to pray for us as we continue to adjust.

Veta positioned Eva on her chest all by herself.  She was so proud and at the same time we were so concerned!  We can't take our eyes off of her for one minute.
