Just wanted to pop in and say the family is adjusting well. Now, there isnt much sleeping going on, but I am okay with that, our parents have been coming over and taking shifts so I can take a nap or spend time with Colton/Caleb. And Colton/Caleb are starting to potty train...Colton is almost there, just a few accidents during the night, Caleb is coming along a bit slower than Colton so we still have him in pullups at night.. we are trying to make that a major focus and that will cut down on diapers as well.
Irelyn is a dreamer...rarely cries and I love dressing her all girlie...she has a small tooth on her the bottom, I freaked out and took her to the doctor because I thought it was a growth, but they say they can grow them young...okay she is only 3 1/2 weeks old, I guess kids can be born with teeth (news to me)...my husband is hoping that isnt a sign that she will develop early, he is already getting his boy scaring tactics ready.
Ian is a fighter...he cries when he is hungry or wet...he is getting really chubby, he is bigger than Irelyn now. He is the one who keeps us up in the middle of the night, but he sleeps all day long. Still trying to get the twinkies on the same schedule, but it is harder with them then it was with Colton and Caleb. Ian is a real joy and loves to be held by Grandpa.
Colton and Caleb are doing really great with Ian and Irelyn, if they are crying they will bring them their sippy cups or a toy, it is really sweet.They are really starting to repeat what we say so we have to watch ourselves more and more and try not to laugh when we slip and they repeat (my husband isnt too good at that yet)The other day I had Caleb take one of the babies dirty diapers and put it in the trash and he said "Awww..Sh**" I was shocked, it was clear as can be and my mother in law was sitting right there. I felt guilty but then she laughed too, said it happens to everyone when their kids start talking.
Well someone is crying, I will pop back in soon.
Niamh- send me a message and I will forward you pics.
