sam is growing up fast - over 12 pounds at his 2 month checkup. he sleeps very well at night, and we are working on day naps - right now they are sporadic. he loves to watch brody play, and be held, and he does like the playmat - but he can only take so much of the hanging animals and music.
brody has been talking more (weird words too - truck, juice, shoes, sock, block), is now big into cars like hot wheels, and generally adapting to days with sam. we are taking a swim class together and he is a natural is the water - plus he loves getting out of the house to play - me too.
i have joined the ymca and been trying to go out there most days to work it out physically and mentally. it has been nice to have some time for that.
adam has been sick with a nasty virus for weeks now, and has been having to rest a lot. he has not left the house except to go to work for almost 2 months. life at the house is not very restful, however, so it is taking awhile to recoup.
overall - i must say our plate is full, and there are some days i am overwhelmed. i am trying to be more flexible and simply let go of things more - but easier said than done for me. i am very happy, exhausted, amazed, challenged, ...this mom gig is harder than it looks. we are muddling through these days as best we can. and we try to enjoy this time - the older i get the more i know how quickly time passes. i will end with some semi-updated pictures.
