Brotherly Love

So I'm a little behind on the blog posts, as you can imagine 2 kids under 2 is keeping us a little busy, and well when the choice is blog or sleep...sleep is always the answer. But in reality I think things are going pretty well, we are adjusting nicely to being a family of 4. Connor is 7 weeks old and around 12.5 lbs (this means he is a BIG guy), he has 2 chins and huge cheeks which I just love. He seems to be a pretty easy going baby so far, cries when he's hungry or when his stomach hurts because he tried to eat too much too fast (a vicious cycle) but other than that he seems to roll with the punches. This is great when your older brother is a maniac of an 18 month old. Loud and rough would best describe Caleb right now. He has adjusted pretty well to sharing the limelight (the occasional minor meltdown time to time is to be expected). We just have to watch him because he loves Connor SO much. He wants to hold him, change him, hug him, kiss him, and push him in the swing. It all sounds very cute, and it is, except that Caleb has no sense of the word gentle. I am not positive but I think Connor's plan may be to get as big as possible so that he will eventually be the big brother and have the upper hand. Anyways here are a few recent pictures of our sweet brothers. I'm going to sleep!


Kisses for Connor

"Hey brother, let me get in there with you!"
"If I keep growing at this pace, I'll be able to defend myself in no time"
"Are you listening to me when I'm talking to you?"
