Transition Home

I thought for sure that Ethan would have a rough time sharing attention, I thought for sure that I would be sore and overwhelmed, I thought for sure that I would be living on no sleep. And maybe all those things have come into light every now and then, but for the most part its been smooth. Ethan loves his brother and goes down for "head butts/hugs" on a regular basis. He is learning to share the attention and has only had a few moments of "LOOK AT ME!!"

The transition home has been much easier than I expected. Loads of hugs for everyone! Tyler is eating so much better than in the hospital, and its been a joy to start figuring out his little personality.
For the most part he is an easy baby. Being a premie he sleeps the majority of the day. But, unlike Ethan, Tyler loves to be held A LOT, he is an inconsistant eater, super expressive, and when he wants something HE LETS YOU KNOW! Ethan was on a schedule by the time we brought him home, always a good eater, and would be so patient when he needed food or a diaper change. T is certainly proving himself to be a strong willed kiddo.

Having a 16 month old and a newborn is fun.. but in this Texas heat its hard to figure out what to do. After so many months stuck in bed, I am ready to start moving and getting out. I learned quickly how to get the HUGE double stroller in and out of the car and how to get the kids ready and out the door in minutes. We have already hit the Galleria, Northpark, Diesels office, Moke's house, the Heads, the park, walking the nieghborhood, playing in the fort, Chicfila, and walking around Target.


We have had loads of friends over too (.. like our sweet friend Aiden- Ethans little twin). Ethan puts on a show when someone comes over and takes out all his toys. It's cute to see him so proud of his brother and his toys (about the same amount of pride!).
