Our little man is one month old today. Already I'm sad to see the "newborn" look start to fade away, but I'm so excited to see him grow and develop too. He does have a different temperament than Abby (Do I hear an Amen?). He seems mostly laid back and is quite the cuddler. He just melts right into you when you pick him up. Only trouble is-he loves to nap in your arms. I definitely take those moments of just holding him for a long time and soaking it all up. But we are working on getting into a schedule and sleeping in the crib. So far, so good.
Yesterday I had a small dose of reality about having two kids. I think in general you just have to move faster. Not that I moved slow to begin with. But I think I can now fold a basket of laundry faster, wash dishes faster, unload groceries faster, shower faster, etc. And talk about multi-tasking. Yesterday I was holding Ben and feeding him a bottle, making Abby mac n' cheese for lunch, talking to Jason on the phone, and putting away groceries...all at the same time. (Note: Normally I'm sitting down and rocking Ben while he eats...don't worry-he's getting calm and cuddly feedings-just not then). Sigh...lots of work, but oh so fun.

He looks just like a Chiodo - I'm getting a good giggle from that last picture. So cute! Can't wait to meet him in person.
