Six weeks

I can't believe it has been six weeks since I had Mason. It has gone so fast I can't even fathom it! Mason is doing well. He eats every 2-3 hours during the day and then anywhere from 3-5 hours at night. He finally got over his cold after about three weeks. He ended up needing to stay on the reflux meds because he gets very fussy and spits up more if we don't give it to him. He has started to really smile and starting to talk a little. I love those first little baby sounds. I swear the other day he laughed at me...even though I know he probably really didn't. Mason is such an adaptable baby. He comes right along with us and is usually quiet and good wherever we have to go. He has already been to the zoo and to Ohio many times. He does well on the rides home, usually sleeping the whole 2-2 1/2 hours.

Sydney is doing well and has really adjusted to having a little brother. She really can't get enough of him and loves holding him. I feel bad for Mason sometimes because Sydney is constantly touching him or poking him or getting in his face. Poor kid has a hard time sleeping during the day because his sister is so loud and always bugging him. I can't believe how much she has grown up these last few weeks. The stuff she says just cracks us up. The other day our landlord was out mowing our lawn and he and his riding lawn mower fell in the creek behind our house. Keith took Sydney to the window to look at him and she said, "That's a big problem!" Then later when I asked her if she saw him mowing the lawn she said, "No Mommy, he was mowing the river!" I just love her! She is too funny!

I think that I am finally adjusting to having two children. Everyone always worries about the other kids in the house and as a Mom you forget to get yourself used to the idea of another child. It was much harder than I expected it to be and I think I was very overwelmed with all that I was expected to do. I think this week I am finally starting to feel like I can handle this. I love them both so much but man they are work!
