Apple juice is Addie's coffee

One of the first things Addie ask for each morning is apple juice. Today was no different then any other morning however I couldn't fulfill this request asap because I was feeding Asher.

"No mommy, I feed Asher- you go and get me apple juice."

"Addie you can't feed Asher, please be patient"

"Give me Asher, I can do it!"

So I let her hold Asher while I went and got her morning apple juice. I swear she is just like me, my days can't start without coffee and hers can't start without her juice. 

Go Dodgers!

Skip's Birthday

It's that time again, our annual trip to Louisiana Downs to celebrate Ga-Ga's birthday (David's dad)

Addie and Bullseye ready for action!

KiKi, Addie and I went outside for one race, it was too hot to stay outside for too long. Addie brought Bullseye down with her in hopes that she would get to ride him on the track....no luck! Addie was very disappointed, she put Bullseye down, and then sat with her hands on her cheeks and said "I'm sad!" it was really cute ;)

Adelynn spent most of her day playing with her cousins. Brooke, Rachel and their friend Darrel 

colored, play with play dough, and styled Addie (did her hair and changed her clothes). Addie was in heaven! She had so much fun being a "big" girl.

The girls made GaGa a birthday cake out of play dough

A mommy to 2

In the last 2 months I've been asked the same questions over and over I've decided to do a little Q & A
1. Hows Addie dealing with Asher?
     I think we did a good job preparing her for his big arrival. We told her that Asher was going to cry, eat, sleep and poop, so she wouldn't expect too much. The first week she was super excited. Now it depends on the day. She can be the most amazing helper or not (she is 2) She will get his diaper bag, burp clothe, diapers, boppy, etc. Some days she doesn't want me to hold Asher or put him in the same room that she is in. Good thing is most days she is a helper.
     Addie has been really flexible with her wants and I love her for that!
    
2. How is a boy different than a girl?
    The only difference so far is Asher has a penis, which makes diaper changes much easier!

3.  Are you getting sleep?
      The last couple of weeks Asher has been sleeping through the night 5 out of 7 day- PTL! He usually wake up between 5-6:30 I can handle early wake up call so much easier than middle of the night feedings.

4. How is it different having 2 kids?
    At this moment having 2 kids isn't that more difficult than having one. I think it's because Asher sleeps most of the time. Ask me the question again when he is awake for more than 50% of the day and I have one kid that runs and one kid that crawls ;)
    It is harder to find time to clean, cook, washing clothes, running errands......but it also make for a good excuses as to why my housework isn't done when Craig gets home.
    Craig is an amazing help. We are a great tag team, which makes life so much easier.
