Kaitlin'smom replied: How does she get along with her sister?

Is she doing anything new?

does she love to sleep?

are you nursing or bottle?

jdkjd replied: What does she do to make you laugh?

What has been the biggest adjustment from one child to two?

Lollie replied:
Thanx Mommies...

1. Yeah..Caitlyn loves watching everything Bri does! She's always grinning at Bri and she's so attentive as young as she is!Mmm...Im sure she cant wait to join Bri in all the fun!

2.I wouldnt say she loves to be held alot but she does love being cuddled alot.She's a very peaceful baby and at the moment she still sleeps alot.We will cuddle her and leave her to fall asleep on her own in her crib..not at all like how Bri was at this age!

3.The last time we weighed her,she weighed about 4kg's which is about 8.8 pounds.I will weigh her when she see's her paed again soon.Her paed was happy with her considering that she haadnt taken well to the breast at first and she was born pre-term.

Lollie replied:


1.Caitlyn loves Bri! She cant stop grinning at her and she loves it when Bri rubs her hair and hums to her.

2.Oh yes!! Caitlyn loves to sleep! I was a bit concerned at first cos she sleeps alot.But her paed told me not to worry.She was born early and its normal for alot of pre-term babies to sleep quite a bit.I suppose Im so used to Bri always being awake and running around getting up to mischief..LOL

3.I am nursing Caitlyn as well as Bri.Caitlyn didnt take too well to the breast at first but now she's breastfeeding beautifully!

Mommy2BAK replied: Do you have any pictures of the two girls together that you could share?

Lollie replied:
Hi...

1.Hehehehe...Devlin and I always find it so funny when Caitlyn sticks out her tongue! If you just tough her lips or any part of her face..out comes her tongue!! I suppose she thinks its feeding time and its time for her to find mommy's nipple..LOL

2.Oh we've had to make sooo many adjustments.I think one of the biggest adjustments was making sure that both our babies never feel left out and that we spend lots of time with each of them...family time with them and personal time with each of our little girls. Before Caitlyn's birth,we just had one baby to give all our attention and love to and now we have 2 baby girls to love unconditionally.Its not easy with Bri wanting to have each and every bit of attention all the time from all of us but we include her in what we are doing.Like when Im changing Caitlyn's diaper...I will allow Bri to help me if she wants to.This way she doesnt feel threatened or less loved because of her new baby sister.She has had to do alot of adjusting herself already so we make sure both of our baby girls now how much mommy and daddy loves them with all our hearts!!

Lollie replied:
I do have a 1 or 2 pics of the girls together but I just havent had a chance to scan them yet.I use my mum's digital camera when I can but Ive just got the normal camera...

Dont worry,as soon as I got those pics scanned,you will be the first to see them!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I love the way you talk about your family, Lollie. It melts my heart. Your girls are so beautiful!

I keep forgetting you are tandem nursing....how is it going?

In what ways is Caitlyn different than Bri?

In what ways are they the same?

(it is funny...they are almost like twins)

Oh yeah...have fun on your getaway this weekend..I didn't have a chance to reply to your other post.

Lollie replied:
Thanx hun...my little girls melt my heart as well!

1.The tandem nursing is going better than it did before! Devlin thought it was gonna be so easy at first,after all,thats why we have 2 breasts isnt it..WRONG! It was so tough! Bri doesnt drink as much as she did before which helps a bit.

2.Caitlyn is a much calmer and peaceful baby compared to how Bri was at her age.We couldnt put Bri down when she was younger but Caitlyn doesnt mind being put down to sleep...and she's always giving little smiles which Bri also used to do.Mmmm...oh,and Caitlyn has ALOT more hair than Bri had at her age!LOL

3.Something that Bri and Caitlyn have in common in their personality is that they are both very alert and love watching everything around them.Caitlyn's eyes are always wide open watching for some action...just like how Bri was at her age. Physically,they have the same eyes..I love their eyes!

Unfortunately we wont be going away for this weekend.... My little brother is not feeling well and I dont wanna leave my mom now when she needs me.I would hate for Mattie to be hospitalised if he has to while Im away catching some sun somewhere.

MommyToAshley replied: She really is beautiful! I love all the hair!

What color do you think she looks best in?
Have you put her hair in bows yet?
Who do you think she looks like, you or your DH? (I think she looks a lot like Bri)
It sounds like she is little Miss. smiley... what was the first thing she smiled at?

I am sorry Mattie is not doing well agian, he will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lollie replied:
Thanx hun...

1.Thats a hard question cos I love her in any colour! If I had to choose 2 colours tho..I'd say pink and red! The red is just gorgeous against her dark hair and it just brings out the blue of her eyes!

2.Hehehehe...yeah,I have put bows in her hair before but Bri always pulls them out!! Im sure she's wondering what Caitlyn is doing with those things in her hair..LOL

3.I agree that she does look alot like Bri! Between Devlin and me,alot of people say that Caitlyn looks alot like me.Devlin doesnt like hearing that all the time tho...lol

4.She is a little miss smiley already! The first time she smiled was when hubby was making funny faces at her.She can just stare at a persons face for ages in fascination!

Thank you hun for keeping Mattie in your thoughts and prayers...he really needs them.

CCTandME replied: Just want to say you have GORGEOUS girls. They do resemble each. I bet lt purple would also look beautiful on her. Does everybody think she is older because of the hair? That's how it is w/ my baby. Born w/ TONS of hair. Everybody thinks she is so much older.

Lollie replied:
Hi there..thanx...

Mmm..I think I will try to dress her in purple and take a pic just for you!

Yeah,people do think she's a little older cos of all her hair! Hehehehe,....in the pics I post she looks so much bigger than she really is..she's just an itsy bitsy baby girl..
