10/27/10 - Taken A Turn For...Boring?

So, after months of adjusting and chaos and craziness, I think life has taken a turn for boring around here! I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing...maybe a mix of both. It seems like since hitting the 3 month mark, Amelia is becoming quite "easier". She spends time on her mat, or just sitting on the couch watching TV. She isn't crying as much...it's more when she's ACTUALLY hungry, or needs her diaper changed rather than constant random crying. After a short bought of not so great sleep, she's back to sleeping right through to 4:00/4:30, which works for me! Olivia seems to be losing a little bit of her "interest" in the baby, which helps a ton too. If the baby is fussy or crying, she'll want to "help", other than that, she pretty much leaves her alone. She gets a little jealous still...I always have to make sure I say "hello" and give her a hug when I pick them up before I even think about looking at the baby...but overall, she seems like she's finally adjusting to this new world of being a big sister.

It's still hard to find time to do everything. Every night we get home, and Christian and I both have lists of things we need to do...but obviously one of us has to be on parent duty, so it's a never ending battle of who's stuff is "more important" and who needs to just wait...somehow I always get screwed into waiting though...not sure how that seems to be happening.

So, in the end, it was a pretty low key, normal kind of day. Work, dinner, play, baths, bed. Basically, the usual! You don't get more peaceful than this...ahhh, sleeping baby!
