We are getting closer to feeling adjusted to the life of two. I have slowly been trying to do day ventures with the kiddos whether it be running to the park, going to the store, visiting a friend, or making a run to see Jesus at the Church. The other must do of a day is to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzz. We have been having long nights with Joseph as he is struggling with reflux. We went to the doctor yesterday to see if we could help our little guy get some rest, and the Dr. said he has all of the classic signs of reflux. But the good news is that I have Hagen Daz milk as our little guy has gained11 ounces in 6 days now weighing in at 9 lbs 8 ounces! So minus the reflux he is a healthy little chow hound. Please just keep praying for our sanity!
Hey Mom, I will give you a break and feed Joseph! Praying as I fall asleep Snug as a bug in a rug I will keep you close to my heart always I want to play football dad Early mornings...waking up still Okay Mom, now really that I have this pillow the right way, hand him over!
Well, we are officially in the state of reality. We were blessed to have a week stint with Jeremy's Dad and Step-mom Lorene, and then another week of fun with Grandma Piraino. I think the one who is in the most shell shock is Simeon as his buddies have left and he's stuck with boring old Mom. Thank you family so much for your help. It was such a joy to share our family life with you all!
Joseph is growing before our eyes. Literally it seems as though we see him change each and every day. He is becoming such a content little one, eating well and already gaining weight! He had his first well-baby check up yesterday and is now 8lbs 13oz! He hasn't grown in length, and his head circumference is now 14.5. He is in the 50th percentile for all three, but mostly just looks really healthy as he is gaining some roundness to his cheeks, and starting to get some leg and arm chubs. He is getting used to Papa and is turning to hear both of our voices. He is such a cuddler and is very alert when he's not in milk comatose.
Simeon is adjusting but is definitely pushing the boundaries. Yesterday was our first outing to the park as I tried my new Moby wrap, and carried Joseph, and Simeon rode in the stroller (well he pushed it as well). It was so good to see him get out his energy as he has so much of it! He's all boy and I love every ounce of it. I think the favorite part of his day is when Daddy comes home and rough's him up. He squeals "Daddy" in such an endearing tone, and runs for a hug. What can I say, I love the men in my life.
Have to stop to share some of his cheese I think I will try my banana creation So intent on our faces Simeon checking to make sure Joseph is taking his nap(s) One proud Papa The science teacher making static electricity Joseph Day 8 I'm watching you! Morning giggles Hi Grandma. You are in such a great mood after I kept you up all night... ...now it's my turn to sleep. No rest for the wicked Mom, can you please share your lap My name is Mr. Adorable Looking this cute wears you out Say cheese again Mom I am getting squished Bath time...One lover, one fighter...I'll let you guess which one... Sunday visitors...the Harpole family is who watched Simeon while we were in the hospital. They think I'm cute... I'll show you who is the boss I fit, can I have this? Joseph at 7 days
Come back here Dad with my foothball Check me out You looking at me? Yes, I am only up to mischief...
Help me out...I'm in jail! Rough house anyone? Grandpa, I know you put it in your pocket Grandma here is your crutch Do you think I could get on Santa's team of reindeer? Showing my grandparents my musical abilities
I have really been enjoying the men in my life. Joseph is a little snuggler, Simeon is a hambone, and Jeremy is my rock. I am one fortunate and blessed women. We have been trying to make the adjustment of going from one to two kiddos, and feel pretty lucky to have such a good second child (as of right now at least...keep praying!). It's been a joy to host the Cassidy's, get some time in with family, and watch Simeon milk it for all that it's worth.
Finishing up dinner...Yes, hi Simeon! Oh how I love human beds. What a nice pillow
