Greta turned 6 years old earlier this week! I just can't imagine life without my sweet and spicy girl! Greta had a big birthday party this year with lots of friends and a special guest - a witch! This witch was at one of Greta's friend's birthday parties in October and was kind enough to come to Greta's party. Greta loved her birthday party! She was such a happy girl. Seeing her so satisfied made all the stress and planning worth it. On her birthday, we made a special breakfast, I ate lunch with her at school, we made pizza and ate cake! Here's to being 6 years old!

Girlfriend is two months old! How time flies.

We all think she's adorable - Holly has even awed over Maeve's cute, little finger nail clippings. 

I just can't get enough of this little beauty. I spend my days holding her and nursing her and talking to her. It's the best. Time is flying by way too swiftly. Maeve is getting so chatty and she gives me the biggest and most plentiful smiles. Baby smiles... they're addictive. I want more! Here's a huge smattering of photos of my little girl. Love her!

Sometimes I still can't believe I have three daughters! They love each other so much. Sometimes it feel challenging to be mothering two very different phases, but I'm so grateful I get to do it. 

I made Conor take some photos of Maeve and me. I felt like I was art directing, but I want pictures of myself and my baby so... 

I live for Maeve's smiles! Luckily she gives me the most ;)

We're nearing that 6 week mark with our Maevester. She's doing great! Earlier this week she weighed 7lb, 10.6oz. She's gaining fast! I love her so much and she's a lot of work! We hold Maeve a lot. I'm definitely in the camp with the mindset of, "you can't spoil a baby," and when she's held she's not crying. We laugh about that. She's such a good baby because we hold her all the time and never give her the opportunity to be a bad baby. I know how fleeting this time with my little baby is so I'm doing my best to just enjoy although I'm getting a little antsy to get into a routine and regular life. But I'm trying to be kind and patient with myself because I know it will come. I've been practicing yoga for the last two weeks just at home and that has been really great for my body and my mind. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and less snow so that Maeve and I can more easily go for walks. And I'm sure I'll soon transition into a more rigorous exercise routine.

Here's a smattering of photos of our sweet Maeve. She's surviving the sisters! I have to brace myself against the weekends and when the girls are home from school. It's a bit busier and more intense when everyone is home! Also, today is Conor's last day of paternity leave. All the feelings about that one!
