Life with 2 kids....

As you have seen, it has been a while since the last post. I seem to have my hands full all day with two kids and then when I have a minute to relax at night, I just want to sleep.


So let me quickly recap how the past month and a half have gone. Since the last time I wrote, things were going great with Logan, he was sleeping all the time. We felt like we didn't even have a second child. Then we hit the three week mark and all of a sudden everything changed. Logan became a completely different baby. He was a complete disaster, not sleeping at night and fussy all the time. I took him to the doctor because I thought something was wrong, but was informed, nope he is just a colic baby. Great!! We have tried several homeopathic things with him, but nothing really seemed to work with him. He has spats of crying / fussing starting around 6 at night, just when you are trying to get dinner and get Brayden into bed. He loves to be held and cries if you put him down. Needless to say my back is killing me because he is strapped into the carrier all the time.



I went back to work a couple weeks ago and that has been very hard. The first week I took Logan to work with me and he sat up in my front room since he was not old enough to go to daycare. He is now enrolled in daycare with Brayden and seems to be adjusting well. Brayden gets so excited that his brother gets to go to school with him everyday.



I hate to say that things are getting better with Logan because I don't want to curse things, but we are getting a little bit more sleep. We have had several nights were I have seen every hour taking care of Logan. It definitely makes for a long day at work.



Brayden has been loving having Logan around. Funny thing is that Logan sleeps for about 3 hours at a time at daycare, but only sleeps about 30 minutes at a time here because Brayden needs to "check" on him all the time and then somehow Logan is then up. Go figure.

Here are some pictures over the past month

"Stick'em up"

Brayden getting some energy out in the bounce house

Callie even tried out the bounce house with Brayden

Logan flashing us a smirk

Funny thing about this picture is that Brayden asked about a hundred times to hold Logan. We let him hold him and it literally lasted about two seconds before he completely let go.

Brayden sledding and braving the cold with daddy

Look how peaceful he looks sleeps, wish he would sleep like that at night!!

We had both grandmas come to the rescue and help take care of Logan so that I was able to get a little sleep, thank goodness for them!

Brayden just stretching out.

Logan at 1 month. We took pictures of Brayden with this teddy bear too, I will have to get them out and compare sometime.

Brayden had to get in on the fun of taking pictures too

Brayden has been pretty good getting acquainted with Logan, though he does try to "test" out all of Logan's things, here he is in the infant car seat

Several people with colic babies told us to put the car seat on the dryer and run it and he would sleep well. Wouldn't you know, it worked like a charm.

Logan just relaxing, he loves being on his tummy

We spent a lot of time in the bounce house getting some energy out since we have been snowed in

I guess we must be doing something right if we still get a big smile from him every once in a while

Happy Valentines Day!!! Glad I got to spend the day with all of my boys. Jon and I went on our first date 10 years ago today, what a wonderful ten years it has been.
