Rilee has adjusted well to being a Big Sister she loves doing anything and everything for her she gets diapers, wipes and bottle when she thinks she needs it. She runs over to her every time she cries and kisses her to make her feel better and she loves taking pictures with her as well.
Reagan has been doing great we have our moments, but what newborn and mommy doesn't in the first two weeks. I have been living on about 4 hours of sleep which is okay but it is hard to function when you have to chase after a two year old, take care of a newborn and try to do school work all at the same time haha. Again Rilee has been great when she wants to be, she always seems to get into things and stuff when I am feeding Reagan and am unable to get up and catch her when she is doing it and with her hearing impairment it is harder to get her attention.
God has watched over us so much this last year and we couldn't be more blessed and fortunate to be in the situation we are in. Our daughters are everything to us and we are so amazed everyday. I am trying to not get super impatient with Rilee but sometimes I catch myself doing it and feel terrible. Larry always tells me that I need to not try but do and I am praying about it and trying to find my patience. Rilee will be able to hear here in the next month or so and we are so ready for that and to see what that does for her. She will explode in what she knows. She already knows how to point to her nose when we say "nose" or mouth when we say "mouth" but is still unable to say the words themselves. She does say some words like "stop it" "dada" "papa" "down" little words like that hasn't perfected "mama" yet but she will get there.
She still loves her mommy Rilee time when we read and pray at night when I put her down for the night. I make sure we always do that so she knows that nothing has changed. So far the girls go down around the same time Reagan goes down probably 30-45 minutes after Rilee and then she wakes up around 12 AM and gets up again around 4 and then goes back to bed till around 7 which is pretty darn good.
Larry is working a lot and it is getting harder and harder for him to leave us but we know that he is going out there everyday to provide for his family and we could be prouder of him. He has applied for Financial Aid so he could eventually go back to school and get his degree in Business Management. As for my school There are 27 lessons and I am on Lesson 23 so only 4 more to go and I am officially a Paralegal!!!!! I cannot wait till I am able to get a job and we will be able to pay off some debt haha. Well this is our update and we will keep you posted on our girls and their development thank you all for all your support and love we truly appreciate all of you and couldn't do it without any of you!
