Rachel's adjustment is going ok. Her behavior is getting a little better and she's not acting out so much, but she's still a little emotional and occasionally asks to be held (conveniently right when Andrew needs to be held/fed). She loves to run to him when he's crying in his bed to see what's wrong, and she loves to hold him. She also likes to throw things at him sometimes or will "burp" him a little harder than I'd like or jump on our bed when he's laying on it or push him "high" while he's in his swing. YIKES - she's had her fair share of timeout this month, that's for sure. It drives me crazy when she isn't as soft as I'd like with him or when she acts out, but then I try to remind myself that she's two years old and her world has been completely turned upside down.
I wanted to post some pictures of Andrew with his eyes open, but he's still got that concerned / scowl / bug-eyed look, so they might not be the best.
First Sunday - one month old (tie onsie was given to us by the Relief Society President)
She looks so big to me! And she's not even two and a half yet!! (she picked out her outfit in this picture and I told Brandon not to go over the top and tell her she looked great or anything like that .. rude, right? .. I just didn't want him to encourage her to pick out her outfit everyday, I'm not ready for that. Although I must admit she did a pretty good job!)

I feel ya on the noisy sleeper. Are you keeping Andrew in your room or is he in his? I kicked Brynn out of my room and made Mason sleep on the floor of my room for several months because she was so noisy. Good luck with the sleep, that is definitely the hardest part of two kids at first.
I hear ya on all of that! It sounded like I could be reading my own blog post...the lack of sleep, not going as many places, the grunting, the toddler behavior. Owen also pushes the swing higher, burps Carter hard, runs to him when he cries, and asks to be held. Lately he wants me to feed him his milk from his sippy cup and wants to be wrapped in a blanket. He's also exciting about sharing toys with him, so I can't wait until they can play together and are best buds! We just have to make it through this newborn stage first. :)
I'm way behind...but he is a doll. I also LOVED those first couple weeks, particularly when my mom was there and did everything else so I could just snuggle with Jack. Rachel is also so cute in that costume!
