These pictures are out of order, but you get the point
This is a game I like to call 'Who is who'. I have put pictures of Mallory and Chloe up to see if you can tell which is which:
Daddy and Chloe
Daddy and Mallory
Mallory in the hospital
Chloe hanging out at home
Close up of Chloe
Mallory letting it all hang out
Can you tell they are sisters??? We haven't gotten a good picture of Chloe stretching out because it's been so cold and we don't want to unswaddle her.
Chloe in her big girl pants...she'll be able to fit into these for a while
Chloe's 1st outing w/ mom and Oma. We made a much needed trip to Target.
Daddy changing his 1st diaper...and by 1st diaper I don't mean just at home. He was lucky enough to not have to change her until we got home and after Oma left
Mom and dad reading books w/ Mallory. Every night we read books and do puzzles then we sing songs in bed.
Having fun in the bath w/ Oma. My mom was great w/ Mallory and helping out. Mom and Mallory would play in the bathtub for almost an hour. Our little girl came out a raisin.
Oma is so funny
Miss Chloe getting her 1st bath at home. Her belly button fell off today so after today's sponge bath it's onto the baby bathtub. I think she'll enjoy it much better.
While mom was here we got the Halloween/fall decorations out. Mallory and Oma were hanging some up
Miss Mallory dressing up
Mallory and Oma looking at magazines
While my mom was here she also taught Mallory how to curl her eyelashes
She wasn't actually curling her eyelashes...but it was pretty funny.
Mal and Uncle A
Mallory getting ready to help give Chloe a bath
The weekend before Chloe arrived (10/4) we travelled out to Weston to the Red Barn Farm. We had a blast. We got to pick out pumpkins, look at farm animals and pick apples.
Mallory spotted an apple low enough for her to pick.
Pulling hard
Finally it came loose
Mal and dad amongst the pumpkins
Mom and Mal taking a seat before we headed to the apple orchard
Mal and dad scoping out the orchard. There wasn't much left to pick but the apples we got were yummy despite the brown spots on them.
Mal showing me another apple she picked.
The week before Chloe got her my friend Elizabeth and her girls: Adrianne and Natalie came over for a visit.
Mallory holding Natalie
Mal and Adrianne playing w/ the computers
Just a random picture of Mal and dad pre-Chloe.
Things have been going well in the Sutton household. We had Chloe's 1 week checkup last Wednesday (10/15). She is back to birth weight 5lbs 13oz. We have to go back next Wednesday to have another weight check just to make sure she is gaining weight steadly. She is nursing about every 3 hours. Some nights have been rough but for the most part I'm able to get an hour or two of sleep between feedings at night. Luckily I've been able to take a nap during the day after Mallory goes down for her afternoon nap. I LOVE NAPS!!! Chloe is still sleeping in our room in the pack n play. I don't think it will be too much longer before she is sleeping in her own room. Maybe once her feedings spread out a little more and I don't have to get up every couple of hours to feed her at night. It's amazing that she has been here for 2 weeks already...it really seems like a lot longer then that. Mallory has adjusted quite well. Despite a couple of tantrums (which is expected) she is doing great. Mallory is sleeping great despite some of the noise Chloe makes. She is still taking great naps (2-3 hours). I'd say we have been pretty lucky.
Well that's about it for us right now. It's hard for me to take pictures when I'm keeping track of two girls. I'll try to post more soon.

I'm so glad things are going well on the home front. Chloe is just at cute as Mal was/is. I wonder if people will mistake them for twins when they get closer to each other in size?
Love the pictures of Mallory dressing up and using your eyelash brush. Looks like all is going well. Glad to hear you can get at least 1 decent nap a day. Yay for naps!! Look forward to seeing you this week!
I can't wait for Ashten and Chloe to meet...and Preston misses Mallory a ton...we have to get these kiddo's together...hope your surviving okay over there...
Cute! Oh and that wasn't much of a guessing game - you gave us all the answers! :)
Can't wait to meet the little one. I'm glad Mallory's adjusting so well and that Aunt Susie was able to be with you all for a while!
Sounds like everything is going great! I'm so glad! Thanks for sharing all the adorable pictures of the girls!
