I now have a five month old...as I think back over the last five months I'm incredulous with all that has occurred. I was blissfully naive to having two kids...somehow I thought that by having another girl, it would be easy...a breeze really. Like riding a bike...I've done it once b/f how hard can it be again. Well, I found out and let me fill you in on a secret: having another child isn't a walk in the park and (surprise!) it's hard! I wouldn't trade it for anything but running morning, noon and night has a whole different take with two...but in just five months I've gotten to see a newborn grow into a baby and do all these things:
- roll from her belly to her back
- eat rice cereal and single grain oatmeal
- belly laugh
- pull her toys down from her activity mat
- move all around her crib like she's looking for an escape route!
- become excited when she sees her mommy
- sit and support her head in the Bumbo chair
- eat her hands
- rock from side to side
And now onto the next five months and to a whole new set of milestones...
Oh, she is just too darn cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, going from one to two kiddos is rough. Really rough. I remember just crying, calling my mom (all of the time), and wondering how we would make it through the day when we brought Garrett home. One day at a time...
