Life with Two!

Life with two kids has been a little crazy, but it is getting easier. Dylan is a really good baby (and I realize that because I'm saying that then of course he won't be!!!). The first few weeks were a little hectic because we had family staying at our house and Kate was completely off her schedule and dealing with not having as much of my attention as she was used to. After about a week of having just her and I and Dylan at home she went back to her old self, which I was very grateful. I really thought I was going to lose it that week. Dealing with a whiny, dramatic Kate on no sleep was just not working. Don't get me wrong, she is still a 2 year old. I definitely went through the "we're never having another kid" phase. Now that Dylan is getting on a schedule and Kate is back to normal I could actually see having another in the future, Sean may take more convincing though.

Most days I feel like I don't feel like I get much done, but I think we still have fun. I was looking at some pictures I took today so I thought I'd post them. This is what we did today:

Here's Kate with her first person drawing. This is Sean, and if you're wondering what is all over his face (because of course it looks just like him), that would be owies, not really sure why!!?

Here's Kate in a dress I bought for her for this summer and her "slap my cap" hat, (from My Friends Tigger and Pooh). She thinks the hat is the coolest and she loves the dress and always wants to wear it, especially if she is going to dance. She thinks she must wear a dress when she dances.

Here she is taking her nap. She has been trying to boycot her naps for a while now, but she totally needs them because she gets too tired. We got this tent at IKEA last weekend and so far it is worth every penny.

We made sugar cookies today. I had wanted to do it for Christmas with her but it just never happened. She had fun, especially eating the cookies. She isn't usually a dessert girl, but I gave her one last cookie and then turned away from her and the cookies to check my phone. She ate that cookie and then swiped another without me knowing. She started getting in my face prancing around say, "I got another cookie" as she ate it. Too funny, such a kid.

Dylan is growing so fast. He seems to be getting bigger faster than Kate ever did. He has been smiling more and more the past couple of weeks, which I love. He has the cutest smile with a dimple on his left cheek. I haven't been able to get a good picture of his smile, but when I do I'll post it. He has been sleeping pretty good for the past week or so, he'll even fall asleep on his own if I put him in his crib, which I think is amazing! Here are some pictures of Dylan the past couple weeks, looking at the pictures makes me realize how much he has grown. He has the chubbiest cheeks.

I love this picture because he is waving at me :-)

This is what I found when I came downstairs after getting ready

Dylan, "struggle for life" as Sean likes to call him, always seems to be struggling, here he was actually sitting there without making a peep

He has finally started to take somewhat of an interest in toys

He has this worried look on his face much of the time

Every time I try to get a picture of Dylan, Kate always has to be in there with him first and then she'll let me take some of just him

Where's Dylan? I thought this was funny...

Tummy time, lifting his head. He usually only lifts it for a short time and then just rests. I think it is so funny because Kate never put her head down when she was on her tummy until she was like 6 months old. I remember taking a picture because it had never happened.

These last two pictures were just taken today, of course I think he's adorable. He is getting so big!
