Abigail is now both 4 weeks and 1 month old. I'm still not sure when you start going by weeks vs. months, but now she's both. Not too much is new....she is eating well, sleeping pretty well, and smiling more and more. We haven't been back to the doctor, so don't know what she weighs, but we can tell she is getting bigger. She continues to squeak at night with her breathing, now that we know what it is and that it is not dangerous, we are sleeping better. She has been sleeping pretty well, napping much longer than Ben ever did, and wakes up 1-3 times per night (I love the 1 time per night nights best!).
Benjamin is acting as I would expect, especially for a 2-year old. He's a very good kid, he and I tend to have the most conflict right now. I can imagine its hard for him to understand the shift in my attention. He's acting out quite a bit with me, which I would also expect for his age. (I am not often as patient as I could/should be). Here are some examples: Today, I noticed he had marker on his shirt and nicely told him "we don't color on our clothes". He promptly went over to the markers and made another mark on his shirt. At lunch, he accidentally dropped his food on the floor...while picking it up, I noticed even more food raining down on me. At naptime, I left the room after spending a long time putting him down. A few minutes later, Ben says "All done sleeping, mama!" I went back in to remind him that he hadn't ever started sleeping and found his bed completely drenched by the water from his sippy cup. Having a toddler is so fun and so hard!!! He's a delight, too, and continues to amaze us by his language and his memory. He's very bright and loves to laugh! Its fun to see him interact with Abigail, he clearly loves her. We are thankful for both our children, despite the challenges, the joys far outweigh them all (most of the time!).
