Our so called life...

Written by 4 Comments


Feeding, burping, changing, cuddling, rocking, bathing. And then it starts all over again!
We are attempting to get back into the "rhythm" of having a newborn. The more time that slips by between children...the less you remember about each stage of their life.
Thankfully, there is google at hand and plenty of websites to tell you that you are doing it "wrong", "right" - or somewhere in between!!! :-)
Once Jackson realized that this baby was here to stay...he quickly turned on the charm! Lavishing her with hugs, kisses, tugs on the arm...pokes in the eyes..."big-brother" kind of love!
Thankfully, Grammie and Poppy are here for TWO weeks to help normalize the chaos! Puzzle time, trips to the park, plenty of books to read, stories to tell, crafts to make...the older kids have been pretty distracted!
And of course, they are here to try out the trampoline!!!
Its also been nice to have two pairs of extra arms to love on little Hailey. She has been a bit fussy this last week...so a fresh set of arms (and ears!) have been a GODsend!!!
Sometimes...she just wants someone to take a quick little nap with her! Grammie is happy to oblige!
We are learning to adapt...learning to let things go (well, really I'm the one that needs to learn that) and learning that the pace of life slows WAY down when there's a new one setting the tone.
