When they first arrived, I had to take Brooke to a Dr. appointment and a test for jaundice. My mom said Aubrey was having a blast with her cousins the whole time. It's a shame they live so far away!
A few hours later we got the news that Brooke's billirubin had shot up pretty high. So into the lights she went. I liked this light table much better than the suitcase Aubrey was in. This one the lights came up from the bottom, so we didn't have to worry about her eyes. We could rest much easier that way!
The Tanner's brought an Easter package from Grandma & Grandpa Buell. Aubrey especially loved the sticker books! The next morning she and Grandma Bagley played with them for over and hour which kept Aubrey happy and allowed me to sleep in!! Thanks G & G Buell!
While we waited for the light table to arrive we had to try out the awesome new double stroller that my parents and siblings gave us. Aubrey loved to turn around and wave and say, "hi baby Brooke." We will be taking many walks in our new stroller. Thanks family - we LOVE it!
Things had been going so great. I wasn't as tired as I was with Aubrey and Aubrey was transitioning really well to having a new baby in the house. Then Tuesday morning arrived and Aubrey woke up with a fever and a cough. So, now we have two little ones keeping us up at night. Not to mention the fear we are all in of Brooke catching the cold. We have been careful to make sure they are not in the same room together and to wash our hands when we have been with Aubrey. I even change my shirt when I go from one daughter to the next. We are just hoping and praying that Brooke didn't catch the bug before we even knew that Aubrey was sick.
My Brooke couldn't be any sweeter!
Brooke is already very fascinated by her hands. We find her holding her hands and sucking her thumb and fingers quite frequently. It is just sooooo cute!
This week Aubrey has decided that she is too big for the high chair and must sit at the table with us!
We got the good news yesterday afternoon that we could take Brooke off of the lights. She slept much better last night in her bassinet. We just hope Aubrey's cold will clear up fast so that she can bond some more with her sister. She is so excited every time she sees Brooke. It is sad not letting her come near her. I hope we can get past this soon. The weather is supposed to be nice next week and I would love to play outside with my little sweethearts. Pray for us that they will both be well and this cold will leave our house and leave Brooke unscathed!

Oh my, that little Brooke is adorable! I love Aubreys big girl room, you are so creative!
I swear it is amazing what those babies are immune too, especially while breastfed! I hope Aubrey gets over her cold quick, thank goodness RSV season is over.
I hope little Brooke avoids getting sick. Addison got sick when she was 10 days old and I hated every minute of it!! The room looks adorable!! And I think Brooke looks just like Jeff!! :)
