Too darn cute not to post

Seth got some desperately needed new Sunday clothes and was kind enough to pose a second so I could snap this picture. Doesn't he look handsome? And this picture of Jaq is one of the only ones I have of her eyes open. Because if she's not sleeping or eating, she's crying...which never makes for cute pictures. Pretty sure she's collicky, which my friends, has not been so fun. Any of you had collicky kids? Any good advice you want to share? At this point, Im taking anything I can get. Even the other day someone said cartwheels would help (for me not the baby) and in my sleep-deprived, half insane mind I thought pretty seriously about attempting one until I thought, "Thats just plain rediculous!" Still though, any suggestions?

PARK IT!

This saturday we just had to get out, so we took Seth to Park Discovery. I dont know why they dont just call it Discovery Park. Lame. Anyways it was way nice, I am hoping that luck will prolong fall just a little longer before I am banished to my dungeon home with a toddler and a newborn all winter. Yikes.

Cousins!!

A week after Jaq was born my sister Krista and her kids came down and it was so fun, especially for Seth who couldnt stop hugging Mason the first night they were here. Mason and Seth had a sleepover that lasted only a fraction of the night but it was fun. It was so nice to have my sister here to just talk and hang out with instead of using all my minutes calling her 3 times a week! Ah, I wished we lived closer! (Thanks Kris for entertaining Seth and for the dinners, you're the best! )

It begins

So I have a lot of people ask me how Seth is doing with a baby around so I thought I'd share this funny story. Generally, the most attention Seth has given Jaquelle is a worried/concerned look when she is full out crying, or he wants to hold her for 1.2 seconds and then wants to put her back in the swing without help...dont worry we dont let him do it alone. Or he runs up to her gets right in her face and says "Hi baby" over and over again. So pretty cute, I thought. Pretty harmless and as for the jealousy factor....well it really hasnt even been one, so that was a big sigh of relief on my part. But the other day I was getting ready and once again I heard Seth saying "Hi baby" over and over again and I thought to myself I really shouldnt leave him alone with her in the same room, so I went to check on them. Jaquelle who was sound asleep in the crook of the couch was kind of fussing and moving around a bit. When I got closer I saw that seth who had been snacking on some cinnamon toast crunch cereal had pried open Jaquelle's mouth and stuck one in it while she was sleeping! Of course she being, what, days old, I was like BLA, Seth what are you doing? We then had the talk that NOTHING gets put in the baby's mouth. Why he picks this time to begin sharing is beyond me. I just thought to myself...here we go, life with two begins.
