Wes had his first adjustment today by Dr. Crain!
Look how big Troy looks!! He really loves getting adjusted. He always laughs!
Besides going to the chiropractor for adjustments, life is FULL of adjustments these days!
It has definitely been a transition going from 1 child to 2....a lot more work!
Troy seems so old to us now. He really is developing a lot more in his verbal skills. He talks a lot! He just learned how to count 1, 2, 3 this weekend! I am amazed at how much he understands and talks to us about. He loves saying Elmo (especially since they are on his diapers, too). Troy is a very active kiddo. I've said this a lot, but this kid could live outdoors!
He got to spend last weekend with Papa and Nana at a cabin camping. This was sooo nice for him to do so many outdoor activities that I'm not able to do right now with him.
Troy is also becoming a little more defiant, which is difficult! For example, today at the chiro, Troy decided that throwing legos and slamming the door was a fun activity. When I asked him to stop, he of course said "no" and kept doing it. It's difficult to discipline when you have a crying baby in your arms and a kid that is acting out in public! We made it through though. He really is a sweet kid, but sometimes has a mind of his own!
Wesley is doing well! He is a bit of a fussy and spit-up baby. We took him to the Dr. because he had been throwing up a lot and crying tons! She thinks he has colic, but we'll see.
It's been a challenge to have a little one who cries a lot, but we're finding ways to soothe him. Sometimes we have to drive around to calm him down.
He loves to eat and he sleeps well at night. He goes down for the night around 9 and wakes up about 6. Of course he wakes up to eat during the night still.
Lane is in school for his masters right now and works a lot! I am so proud of him for how hard he works. Can't wait for May to come!
Have a beautiful Monday!
Ahh. . . Micah was colicky. It is a very trying experience. We tried holding him on a vibrating pillow, which was the only thing that even slightly worked. Those were long, hard days. Don't be afraid to leave him in his crib to cry if it gets to be too much. Run the vacuum, put on your iPod, go outside. . . anything so you can get a break from the crying. It will pass. It seems to take forever to pass, but it will!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great, Angela!!! I remember how tough it was to have a 21 month old and new baby but you will make it through! :) I'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteVacuum could help, check to see if you need to take anything out of your diet that his body is sensitive to, or have his big brother sing to him or read books. I nanny for a family who just recently had a baby and big sister reads books to her little brother and he stops crying, aww just makes your heart melt. :)
