When I say calm down, I really mean- she is beginning to calm down. Harper has proven to be much more of a crier than we were used to with Peyton. We've wondered if it's colic, gas, reflux... all of the above. We've pretty much ruled out everything because she tricks us by actual sleeping at night and not crying... like at all. I can be assured between around 9pm and 7am she will not cry (she does wake up of course.. she eats and goes back to sleep). When she's not crying, she is a sweet sweet girl. He smiles a lot- which I didn't think was possible because Peyton was the most serious baby on the planet. I told Brandon today that I'm starting to forget what life was even like before she was here.
As for Peyton...
Sometimes I wished I had Peyton's patience. He unconditionally loves that girl so so much. He has exceeded my expectations for bringing another child into our family. I worried that he would be jealous or feel robbed of his time with us, or that he would regress and start acting like an infant again. I feel silly for thinking these things of Peyton. Peyton has the most loving and kind soul. He has accepted Harper as his sister from day one and he takes his job as big brother very seriously. I'm so grateful for that.
I am really looking forward to watching them together and to getting to know Harper's personality. I feel like I am starting to see glimpses of who is she. One thing is for sure- she's pretty stubborn....
I don't know who she got that from.
