Levi is now 16 months old - he turned 16 months the Mon after Baby Reah was born. He has started being a good helper with Reah - he loves to throw away her dirty diapers and is constantly trying to cover her with a blanket. He brings me her pacifier all the time and he still tries to put it in her mouth by himself. Last week he decided that she isn't all that bad and he started giving her hugs instead of trying to slap her. He heard the words "We be soft to baby sister - soft" so much that he will reach out to touch her and hesitate for a bit then rub her hair softly. He has started being very curious about what is going on when I am nursing her and he tries to get right in to see. He loves to dance too and just started really moving his feet to the music this month. Just a few days ago he started swinging his hips when I told him to dance. It was so cute to see him doing that for the first time.
Reah will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. She still has her chubby cheeks. We had her 2 week Dr appt today. She started out weighing 8lbs 11oz and dropping to 8lbs even when we left the hospital. At 1 week we had a wt check with her Dr and she was down to 7lbs 14oz (at least I think that was it). Today she weighed in at 8lbs 9oz so she is gaining just slowly like Levi. Her Dr didn't seem concerned as long as she is eating which she does. She likes to eat but falls asleep and then wakes up 10-15 min later starving. I love her hair but the back of it won't stay down it is constantly sticking up. She has been a little more awake and alert lately which means eating more :)
Here are some pictures to enjoy:

Look at the big goose egg right between the eyes from another fall down our stairs. Ouch.

Reah is so chubby :). Even if she isn't all the way back up to her birth weight, she's farther ahead than my kids are at that age! She looks great.
I miss you!!! Hopefully we can see each other sometime soon!!!
