The past 4 weeks have gone by so fast. Hard to believe we've been home for 4 full weeks today. I am still trying to figure out how to get everything done being a mommy of 2. Life definitely seems more hectic. Most days I feel like Avery's not getting enough attention. Most days she lets us know by acting out. But, she is also so sweet and helpful most days too. She loves to give Gerrit hugs and kisses and rarely has to be reminded to be gentle. She also likes to copy what I'm doing with Gerrit, with her baby Vivian. If I'm feeding Gerrit, Avery feeds Vivian; if Gerrit's in the carrier, so is Vivian, etc. It's very cute. Speaking of Gerrit, he is such a sweet baby. He is more mellow than Avery was at this age, we are also more mellow though. He really lets you know when he needs something though, screaming at the top of his lungs. He is sleeping fairly well at night, usually giving us a 4-5 hour stretch at the beginning of the night and then waking up once more. Avery has been waking up at 5 or 6 most mornings though, so we aren't getting as much sleep as we'd like. He's already given us smiles too! I got my first real smiles on my birthday. Best birthday gift ever! We had newborn photos taken a couple of times, little guy didn't cooperate very well though. Ideally they sleep for newborn photos, Gerrit had other ideas and stayed awake for most of the photos. I'll post as soon as we have those. Here are some photos that we've captured over the last few weeks.
