It has been pretty crazy around here with two kids. I am still trying to figure out how to keep two kids happy. Some days I have been successful and others not so much. I love those moments when I have two kids crying and it makes me want to cry too. (sense the sarcasim) However, I have been pretty lucky so far to usually have two happy or sleeping kids.
I have been stressed out a lot trying to figure out how to balance my two kids with my job at the dorm, cooking, and cleaning. I'll admit my apartment is never completely clean but at least parts of it get picked up and cleaned each day. The hardest part of all is remembering to take care of myself. I still shower before Eric leaves for the day but sometimes it will be 4 pm before my hair gets done. Most days it is pulled up into a bun or a pony tail. I have had some days where I didn't have anytime to eat breakfast or lunch and it will be dinner time before I realize that I am really hungry. I know that isn't good since I am nursing. I have even put off going to the bathroom so I could take care of my kids. This has definitely been an adjustment but I am slowly working hard to get things done.
Anyway, thats my excuse for not blogging for awhile.
Aaron has been having to adjust to a new baby too. Overall, he loves his baby sister and whenever she cries he wants to go help her. He loves helping her get her binky in her mouth. There have been times when he has tried to pick her up all by himself or even take her from me. When I am nursing her I try to keep covered with a blanket and he just thinks that the baby is playing "peek a boo" with him so he will grab the blanket to play with her. It is cute but he can be a little rough with her (as big brothers will be).
He is a good big brother and it is fun when he pays some attention to her.
Aaron loves to climb into her bassinet and play. It is amazing how much this kid has grown since he was a little baby.
Here is Kaylee at 3 1/2 weeks old. Isn't she pretty?
I love watching Aaron play with his sister.

Both your kids are so darling! I am sure things will get a little bit easier with time and you get used to two. I think you are doing an awesome job!
She is a pretty baby. Good luck with all the juggling!
It seems so long ago that I was in Rexburg helping you with Kaylee. It seems like she should be older than 3 1/2 weeks. You are right, Kaylee is so pretty. I sure miss you guys!
You know, sometimes you just have to sit and cry with the kids! They are beautiful.
