Getting adjusted...

Life for us with two babies under 2 has been great, busy and a little challenging at times. Morgan has been a great helper and loves Graham to pieces. She tries to share all of her toys with him, tries to feed him her food, loves to help with his baths and change his diapers and enjoys having him in the back seat of the car with her when we go bye bye. It is so fun to watch her around him and it is obvious that she is a proud big sis. She is so ready for him to grow up and play…but we aren’t going to rush it!! She has been great at adjusting to having a new baby in the house and we are thankful that is didn’t completely shake her world but she has her moments. By the end of the day when daddy gets home she gets a little testy. I haven’t figured this out yet. When he is home, she wants to be held all the time and throws little fits when things don’t go her way. She does not do this to me during the day. I don’t know if this behavior is a result of her age or because of the new change in our home. Hopefully this behavior will get better with some time…each day gets a little better. Graham has been a great baby. I think we are getting close to having him figured out (or at least I feel like we are). He hasn’t been the best at nursing. In the last week I haven’t felt like I have been able to fill him up after nursing. I gave him a bottle of formula for the first time a few days ago and he took the bottle very well and seemed full and happy when it was gone. I have since started to pump and feed him with a bottle more often and we have been supplementing with formula when needed. It seems like this is working well. Like I mentioned in a previous post, Graham has been a great sleeper but hasn’t been crazy about his crib. We are making progress though. We have been getting him to sleep in there a little longer each night. I shouldn’t complain, at least he sleeps. It is hard to believe Graham is almost a month old and Morgan turns 2 this weekend. We are looking forward to a weekend of celebrating Morgan’s birthday and spending time with our family. Here are a few recent pics.
