Maeve sleeps in Conor and my bedroom and has since day one. She sleeps in this little half-size crib that belongs to Conor's parents. It's the perfect size and fits just right in our room. I'll be so sad when she outgrows it. I don't think she'll outgrow it anytime soon since she has zero interest in being mobile. But still, it'll be a sad day. I love this wee baby in her wee crib so much.

I couldn't stand having Holly sleep in our room when she was a baby - too many baby noises! Greta stopped night sleeping in our room at about 5 months. I think I'll keep Maeve in here for a good long time. I love knowing that she's close by. The evolution of my motherhood is very interesting to me. But you know, Maeve. She's just so wonderful.

P.S. She doesn't sleep with her stuffed donkey.

My darling Maeve is 4 months old! Some things you should know about Maeve:

• Maeve loves to have a fist in her mouth, she's constantly chewing on her hands. Teething perhaps?
• This past month she discovered her lips and loves to suck them in, etc
• She also discovered her right ear and the hair that surrounds it
• Her laugh is amazing
• Maeve's talking is a vibration in the back of her throat. It's adorable and sometimes she's very loud!
• Maeve loves her sisters to the moon and back
• She makes our world go around!

Because she's just so dang adorable, here's an assortment of photos of Maeve. Oh how we love this baby!

Just a bunch of sister pictures. I can't believe I have three girlfriends! It's so weird to refer to Greta as my middle child still. 

Last week, my sister-in-law Allison visited with the kids. It was the best! I wished they had stayed longer! I'm really grateful my brother chose such an amazing woman to bring into our family!
