Life with 3 kids!!

Well we have been very busy the last 6 weeks adapting to life with a new baby. Our first outing with Mom and all three children alone was when Milo turned 3 weeks old. We decided to meet Nikki and Mason's BFF's at the Children's Museum in Downtown. All in all I would say that it went very well once we got into the van. The morning was quite rocky trying to get everyone dressed and meet someone at a specific time but we made it and mom only had to yell a few times. My cameras batteries were dead so this is this best picture I could get.

Nikki has definitely stepped into her role as the BIG sister. She loves holding Milo every chance she gets and he seems to enjoy it as well. Of course it has become increasingly convenient for her to hold him while we are trying to clean, because he is just toooooo upset to sit in his swing.

Poor Mason has been thrown out of his room to make way for Milo and he is finally adjusting. Again Nikki has been great about being the BIG sister and welcoming him into her room. We haven't painted the pink walls but we did put in bunk beds and covered his part of the walls with his favorite people Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man. He still wants a Spiderman poster and Hulk. We caught them laying in bed the other night and Nikki was reading to him and they were just laughing their heads off. These are the moments that make you proud as a mom!!



I wanted to post a few pictures of Milo since everyone keeps getting on to me. He has grown so much. He is five weeks old in these pictures and he already weighs 10.5 lbs. He still rarely cries but the grunting is a bit out of control. He has also learned that he does not like to be alone or set down when he is awake. He has no problem sleeping in his crib in his room at night and during his naps, but if the boy is awake he lets out these small little whines every few seconds until someone picks him up. I know doctors say babies can't manipulate at this age but if that is the case then my babies are GENIUSES because they know exactly how to get what they want.

SO glad to hear that things are going well, Anna. Milo is such a cutie! And so big! Caroline was 10.1 at her 2 month appt. Glad you have a big helper in Nikki--even if she does try to get out of chores for it. :)
