Juniper

Things are finally starting to fall in to place with Juniper and Miles. Having two kids is just… well, it’s harder than I would have imagined. Trying to keep up with the needs of an infant and a 3 year old has been a real test of my patience. Miles still isn’t fully potty trained, but at least he’s doing all his #2 in the potty. Juniper is passed the colic, but is now dealing with teething. I’ll take pee pee diapers over poopie diapers and teething over colic any day.

As far as brothers go, they are pretty awesome. I can see the love that they have for each other get stronger every day. Miles loves to help me take care of Juniper. Whether it’s throwing out a dirty diaper, fetching me some wipes or rocking him in his seat to calm his crying, he is a fantastic big brother. I try to imagine what they will be like as teenagers. Will they be close friends or have separate interests? Will they fight or defend each other? Will they still be good boys or will I want to sell them to the gypsies? Only time will tell.

The holidays are coming up fast. Thanksgiving will be here in a little over a week and then Christmas. Miles is talking about writing a letter to Santa and we need to start thinking about our Christmas photo/video we do every year. Now that our family is complete, it’ll be nice to document it with one of our usual silly projects. Stay tuned!

Lastly, I love my little family. That being said, I need to find more time for myself so that I can continue to feel the love.
