Having Two

So Cliff and I have only been at this for less than a month, but we honestly agree that two kids are better than one. It is hard to explain, but it was like we didn't realize what we were missing until he came along. I guess it is also easier the second time around because we are much more relaxed. Grace also has another person to think about, share with and take care of. It has been really good for her and her development. She is handling it pretty well too. She is quick to respond to his cries offering toys, pacifiers and blankets. She has even tried to pull my shirt down and exclaim EAT!, so the baby can nurse. I mean she is a smart one. Let's just hope that doesn't happen in public! Elijah is growing fast and is already up to over 8 lbs from 7 lb 11 oz at birth. He is calm, cool and laid back. Nothing seems to really phase or bother him unless he is hungry. He is an easy baby. We are having fun, and I know it has been so enjoyable because Cliff has been home. Just a few more weeks and school is back in session, so we are cherishing each day we have.

Grace loves to brush her teeth...rather chew on her toothbrush. The cute dressed was made by her Mimi, Cliff's mom.
