2.5 Weeks

This little guy just fits perfectly into our family.  I have felt extremely blessed over the past few weeks with how smooth the transition has been, so far, going from a family of 3 to a family of 4.  Max loves his little brother, he is so sweet to him.  I was kind of worried he would be mean or ignore Christian but it has been quite the opposite.  He is very aware of him, and if Christian is crying Max always comes over and gives him a kiss and says its ok buddy.  The other night Max told me Christian was his buddy, it melted my heart.  Even though they are 3.5 years apart I know these two are going to be the best of friends. 

The one thing I did forget is how long it takes to get out of the house with a newborn.  All the things you have to pack and have ready to go.  Ugh...we have definitely been spoiled over the past year with how easy it has been with just Max.  But if that is the hardest part of having two kids I think I will survive.  Christian is an extremely calm baby.  The only time he cries is when he is hungry, and then between 2:00am & 3:00am I like to call that his grunting hour.  He likes to lay in his bed and grunt, and make little baby noises.  He usually isn't crying just noisy.  Hopefully, we will get his days and nights figured out soon.  He is finally starting to have more awake time which is fun, I can't wait to see his little personality emerge.

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! He is precious. And I'm so happy your transition is nice. :0) I'd be happy to watch him for you any time!! Especially if you want to get some 'workout' time in! That was a tricky thing to find time for with two kids as well....
