Just some head shots today. Jonas wanted his picture taken, but when I would turn to take it, he would walk away. So I only got one for him today.
I really do love my kids, even though this one whines and cries a lot during the day.
And this one cries a lot at night before going to bed and is an awful sleeper. The crying at night is completely different than when she was crying at night when I was eating/drinking milk.
I love Jonas, too. Sometimes I find it really hard to share the love between the two. Making sure one has her needs met, but making sure the other gets the attention he deserves. Having a colicky baby probably doesn't help with that, but I've made it this far. Some nights are awful for her (and me), and some are great. Everything about her and how the days play out are unexpected. I just take one day at a time.
I'm struggling to find a balance too. I feel bad because Carter watches WAY more tv than he should lately. But I don't know what else he can do when I am nursing or rocking Nixon. It's become his babysitter when I am home by myself. And then when Nixon is napping I am too tired to play with him or honestly I just want time to myself!! Some day I will figure it out
ReplyDeleteAlso look at it as a good time for Jonas to become the bigger brother. Having a baby always seemed to help my kids mature a little more and realized that instead being so needy they can be moms big helper and finally have someone to boss around lol. I feel bad for Ryder because he wont have that chance but I have to stop somewhere so he will probably just keep being my spoiled baby :). I think it is great you took Jonas to the store. We love to do that when one of us is running and errand we take one of the kids and give them that one on one attention and just talk to them and spoil them a little :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Those pictures are beautiful!! And I usually don't like black and white. Jonas looks so different...like he grew up a year!! I need to come visit!!
