Two's...

I know I'll sound wimpy for saying this, but having two kids under two is such a big change! So many adjustments...more for Christopher than anyone else. :) We've made it one place on time in three weeks! Getting out of the house includes a major checklist now...

Diaper bag
- outfit for Monica
- 3 diapers for Monica
- wipes
- spit up clothes
- hat for Monica
- outfit for Christopher
- socks for Christopher
- 3 diapers for Christopher
- diaper ointment
- 2 bottles of applejuice/soymilk for Christopher
- Nursing blanket for Monica

Christopher with jacket and shoes
My wallet, cellphone, car keys and...a necessity now, Lipgloss (so it doesn't REALLY look like I'm not getting my normal hours of sleep)

After writing all that, I don't feel so bad about being a few minutes late. :)

Really though, the adjustment from having 1 child to having two children really isn't that bad. I felt very overwhelmed in the beginning, but I think alot of that was due to having a c-section to recover from while going through the holidays. It was so awesome to celebrate Christmas with a very new baby in my arms. Meditating on Christ's birth came very easily this year!

Christopher is now cutting...not 1...but 4 teeth! I was trying to figure out why he was being so "grumpy" and had just chocked it up to sibling jealousy until I was changing his diaper two days ago and noticed he was chewing on his hand. I then looked at his teeth and found 4 of them just poking through his gums. Poor little guy...

Monica is really doing awesome! She is already three weeks old and really starting to pack on the ounces. I love getting to see her chubby cheeks get more full each day!

Oops...gotta run...mailman knocking on the door, Monica needs to eat, and Christopher wants me to color with him...lol...yep...still adjusting here!
