So far we are surviving with two little ones. It's a transition for sure but one we are getting used to. When I get overwhelmed I just have to tell myself..."just think about the duggars, just think about the duggars..." and then I smile and am even more grateful with just two children around the house. And if you don't know who the Duggar's are there's really no use in explaining. All you need to know is they have 19 kids...
Savannah really has been a good little baby. She's had her days and nights mixed up for the past week or so but thankfully is getting the concept of sleeping at night. She is a tiny little thing. So much more petite than Isaac was at this age. But that's the way little girls should be I guess.
Isaac is slowly warming up to her. We definitely can't leave them by themselves in a room (which I know is a given) because he's not the gentlest person with her. Let's just say his idea of touching her is more like a hard poke to the body. I've already warned her that this is only the beginning of having a big brother to live with.
We continue to keep big brother occupied so he recieves good attention and such. Just the other day his cousins came over to play with him in a baby pool in the backyard. He LOVES playing with them and I love how tired out he gets. :)
He refuses to take off his shirt. For what reasoning I'm not sure. I keep telling him it's far less chilly to have the wet shirt off but he's not buying it. You pick your battles, right?
What did little bitty do while he played you ask?
Oh, she did what she does best.
Sleep...
Yesterday was a big day for Isaac because he finally held Savannah for the first time. Well...the term hold is relative. She layed in his lap you could say.
I just love this next one. It looks like she is caressing his little face. ...either that or just trying to save herself from toddler drool...
And eventually the toddler hand goes up...
And a little higher....
Good. The hand comes down on the toe.
I spoke too soon. He just can't help but pat her head. Pat her head rather forcefully.
Alrighty then, the holding session is now over. See what I mean? :)
Speaking of holding. Isaac's bud Ry Ry and his mommy came over to play for a bit yesterday and hold Savannah. Isaac was so happy to see him. Really he was. Don't judge by his bored face.
That wraps up things for now. You may be asking yourself, how does this girl get the time to blog with a newborn at home? Well, I find myself feeling a little cooped up during the day (as expected) and my little outlet is this blog to the outside world you could say. I know I won't be feeling trapped at home for long so I'm trying to enjoy this time with my precious little ones. So far, I really have.
