Favorite Foto Friday - The Big Boy & The Baby Boy

We're more than halfway through our 2nd week since Aidan came home & everyone is doing great. Aidan continues to sleep and eat well, which I've decided is the key to a happy home. All the little dramas that break out during the day are so much easier to handle when everyone (especially Mommy) is well rested. Chris has been back at work full time since last Thursday and other than nap time, which can be a little "dicey", I haven't had too much trouble adjusting to taking care of two kids all day.

One side effect of having a second child is realizing how grown-up your first one has become. Until Aidan came home, I definitely still thought of Andy as my "baby". Its truly amazing to see just how much he has developed since we brought him home. Here's some pictures of him participating in some definite non-baby activities. We continue to be impressed by how nice he is to Aidan & how well he's adjusted to sharing us w/"the newcomer".

And the biggest "big boy" moment of the week, playing air hockey w/Papa all by himself!

As much fun as it is to see how far Andy has come, it is so nice to have a baby in the house again. Aidan is such a sweetheart & is so easygoing. Basically as long as we are not trying to change his diaper or get him dressed, he is content to do whatever we are doing. Here's some pictures of what he's been up to this week.
