This brave little girl has one month living in our crazy household under her belt! She has survived multiple "lovings" a day from big brother.
(One Month)Cam has done surprisingly well...so far... with another little one in the house. We'll hope this continues. He doesn't like that he can't throw things in the house anymore (because they ALWAYS end up hitting baby sis), he can't jump on the couch right by Baby J's head, and he can't lay down on her. Life.Is.Hard!
I think Cameron likes having Jacqueline around. Last week I took Cam to story time and left Baby J with my mom. As we're pulling out of the driveway, Cam yells, "No, my baby come!" He likes to give (shove it in her face) Jacqueline her binky and tell (yell) her good morning. He's been very patient with the fact that I have to take care of this new little one a lot of the time and my arms are not as free as they were.
Jacqueline is sure a sweetie. At least, we think so. She's not awake a whole lot, so that definitely puts her ahead on the sweetness scale. We've gotten a couple smiles out of her, but never when we're trying! She'll surprise us with these "I'm so glad to see you smile!" Completely melts the heart!
Baby J was the recipient of this adorable owl hat (thank you Julie) that matched one I bought for Cam Man a little while ago. Love it. I also love that Jacqueline looks so silly and scrunched in this picture, but Cameron was cracking me up. (Doesn't he look so big???)
Life is good. We're catching up with the new routine-evidenced by Cam doing the potty thing again. Yippee! Well, maybe I should say we WERE getting into a new routine. As I'm writing this, Cam is napping with a fever, so we'll see. Joyous.I feel like my emotions are finally evening out and I'm not crying over the fact that my little baby looks suspiciously like a big boy, dishes in the sink aren't done, and my husband has to work. Ha. Dang hormones. I'm also adjusting to the fact that everyone's heads looks incredibly large now. Do you notice that when you stare so much at a baby's head, or am I crazy? For the first several weeks, when I'd look at Cam's or Mark's heads, I thought they looked giant! Okay, I'm crazy. Don't rub it in.
The end of the semester is looking deliciously close, and I can hardly wait to have a summer with Mark out of school. Whaaat? (Mark, that was spoken with as much Gus as I could put into it).
Just a last picture to show Cam's latest obsession. Scriptures. Taken from our drawers. Every day. Dragged around the house. Is nothing holy? Can I really complain, though, that my seminary scriptures are actually being put to some use? Oh well, it makes him happy, and I'm all about that!
Oh Angie, your kiddies are so cute! Oh how I miss you. I want to meet your new baby so bad... Maybe one day, we could have a Firehouse trip sometime when we are in town. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd no, you are not crazy. The older siblings always look ginormous when there is a new baby in the house... even when the big kids really aren't that big. I remember my brother always used to tell me that Brooklyn was too skinny and we needed to get some weight on her body and then they had a baby and all of a sudden he couldn't stop telling me how big Brooklyn was like all of a sudden she was this fat kid... It happens to us all.
PS. I miss you.
That was so cute! I love that he takes your scriptures everywhere. It's a good habit to instill. :) And your daughter is just darling!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to read about what you're up to! One month down is a great accomplishment! Glad that hormones are leveling out. I would just cry all the time about such stupid things. It was awful! Good job mama!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so sweet. It put a huge smile on my face. Your baby girl is so precious and Cam has always been one of the cutest little boys!!
ReplyDeleteClaire has been into "reading" scriptures for the last couple of years. She uses a tiny one that we don't really read anyway, so it works out. :)
What a beautiful lil girl. So glad Cam is doing good with her and glad you're emotions are evening out. Actually glad to hear you get as emo as I do post baby. Thanks for making me feel normal! Hang in there, keep enjoying all the great moments :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute are some of those pictures of the two kids together! Super sweet! That is awesome that Cam is potty training, or potty trained? I'm so jealous either way! :) Sounds like you really have the 2 kid thing down already! And how nice the Cam loves having his new little baby around!
