Luckily, Mark is still off of work on paternity leave and helps out a ton. But lately, he has started to work in the mornings doing some odd jobs for a friend of the family. Which means I'm on my own. With two kids. One of them being in the midst of the LONGEST stretch of terrible twos & terrible threes I have ever heard of! His antics right now include stomping off to his room and slamming the door. Or shouting, "Fine! Then I'll never be your friend!" Or locking his door from the inside, slamming it while he's on the outside, so he cannot go to timeout in his room because now it's locked. Who ever put locks on the inside of these doors apparently didn't have kids.
And of course I do have the mommy guilt that everyone warned me I would have. I feel bad about not being able to spend much one on one time with Wade. He has adjusted pretty well, however, and is getting good at entertaining himself while I nurse or hold his sister. He also knows to be quiet when she is sleeping so we can play together for a little while before she wakes up. He has gone from not liking her, to being pretty indifferent, to thinking she is interesting/amusing. He likes to ask what she is saying, to talk to and explain things to her, and to hug and hold her (occasionally, if the mood strikes him). She smiled and laughed at him the other day and he thought it was great. So great in fact he asked if he could give her a kiss, to which he then said, "Eww! A baby kiss!"
Lily is growing like a weed. Next week, she'll be 2 months old. I don't feel like she's as chunky as Wade was, but I think she's pretty long. We'll see at her checkup next month. She's holding her head up and likes to smile often. Those first smiles are always so amazing to see :) She recognizes voices and turns when someone she knows is talking. She is also still a great sleeper (crossing my fingers)- and sleeps from around 10:30pm to 7:30am almost every night. I'm one lucky momma to be getting that much sleep!
Ok, enough typing, here are the pictures!
What do you do when it's raining outside?
Put on your boots and go stomp in the puddles of course- even if you're still in your PJ's!
Hello there!
Coming to get you!
Lily likes being on her belly a lot more than Wade did.
Big blue eyes still :)
To get anything done around here I have to have this little girl attached to me, either in her sling or Moby wrap.
There could be worse things :)
Lately we have been Puss in Boots. Puss is a very dangerous character who carries a knife/toothbrush and often poses like this while waiting for danger:
