Humor me

I've been up since about 3 AM, got maybe a half hour nap if you round up, dealt with a fussy baby and a whiny little girl all day, fed the missionaries, and put both kids to bed on my own while the husband goes out with said missionaries. I should be sleeping myself but I wanted up do something to help me unwind and remind me of the joys of motherhood. Cue the rolling of the eyes and small chuckle on my part.. I did just watch the Bachelor but don't know how that makes me feel exactly. But it's fun.

We're 6 weeks old now. I keep telling myself.. we can make it! You can do it! Yet still trying to live in the moment and savor the sweet newborn stage that is rapidly fading. Sleep is starting to come more consistantly but last night was a step back into old gassy habits. Of course, as soon as he was asleep at 4 AM (for the short time he was), Sarah woke up to add her two cents and demand for attention. Hopefully tonight will be better.. Kurtis says to keep my expectations realistic but I can't help my wishful thinking. Anyway, on to happier topics.

 Isn't he precious! This is how he likes his arms when he sleeps. So I try to swaddle him this way. I'm just grateful he likes the binky! My goodness has it been a life-saver so far.

Little miss goes to nursery now! (SIGH) Her little necklace says "I feel good when I say 'I'm sorry.'" Ha. If only, right? 

 Special moments like this make it all worth it

 Big sister.. big kisses (or licks)..lots of love

 She can't quite reach to kiss him.. hahahaha she's so cute to try

 She loves to hang from the pull-up bar

 Big yawns! I love them..

I love watching them when they sleep.

Playing around. It keeps us sane. :)
