Watch This*

We made it out for dinner last night - Ben's first night out. He slept like an angel. I'm not sure what it is about loud restaurants and infants, but our babies appear to love to sleep at them.

Ben is doing well. He likes to sleep, eat and scream. Pretty much in that order. We've been pretty lucky in the sleep department so far, and he is feeding great, however this so called cluster feeding in the evening is draining. I'm usually ravenous after this and could eat everything in sight. And then there is the screaming, it's very dramatic and usually occurs in the evening when all he wants to do is feed feed feed and then feed a little more, and when he has his nappy changed.

Annmarie is adjusting and we have had some difficult moments, but she also adores her little brother and is a huge help. I think more of her outbursts are out of the change (the biggest change in her life so far), rather than jealously. But we are slowly figuring things out as a family of four.

Just a little comparison.

Check this out. Don't you just love it when babies grin/smile in their sleep :)

*Annmarie's favorite two words.
Watch this guys - as she hops on one foot.
Watch this Mom - as she balances a straight line
Watch this Dad - as she draws.
You get the idea.

He is just so dang cute. Glad to hear the feeding is going well, despite the evening clusters.

Ben's Uncle Jon was like that - he was always eating. The trade-off is that they are good sleepers! What a beauty he is!
