I think I forget how crazy life gets when you have a baby. There is absolutely limited time for anything, especially to get things done. With summer coming up around the corner for Madelynne, and no travel plans to Colorado as is routine, it seems the days will get busier and life will whirl by as it does and has.
Jaxson's two month existence into our world has been nothing short of a blessing. His personality is similar to Madelynne's at this stage of infancy, but he is also more laid back than she was. That is probably his dad's personality shining through. I am noticing my parenting style has shifted a bit, as I sometimes end up co-sleeping with him to get some type of sleep after his typically 2am feedings. I keep telling myself once he gets to sleeping 7 hours straight through, then we won't be co-sleeping much anymore, but I do like cuddling with him. He's great at cuddling and I don't think he wants it any other way than to be connected to me. Annoying, sometimes, when I am trying desperately to get something done and all he wants is to be held, but I wouldn't change it because soon enough he won't need me in the same regard anymore.
Over the past two months, he's experienced quite a few firsts, as normal. His first bath, his first time meeting Grandma Sue, his first trip to see the Pacific Ocean, his first parade, and his baptism.
Maddy has embraced being a big sister on many levels and does such a superb job at it. She has a willingness to help that overshadows her somewhat defiant, four-year-old attitude. She just wants to help and provide the best for "Baby Bro" as a "Sissy" should. It's pretty awesome to see their bond already forming. He smiles when I tell him we're going to pick up Sissy from school and they interact and play together when she gets home. I know this bond will shift into annoyance and pushing buttons as sibling bonds do, but I also know they are forming a forever friendship that is unbreakable.
