Settling in

It's been almost 5 weeks since Marshall joined our family and we seem to be adjusted pretty well. I, of course, am still trying to get used to being up in the middle of the night and hope that that will be coming to an end in the next 2 months or so! What do you do when you finally get your newborn to sleep at 6:45 am and then your toddler is up at 7:15 am? Those are the days of morning cartoons in the highchair and mom not getting out of her pj's until almost dinner! If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share! You just have to laugh and try to enjoy your babies as much as you can and hope your husband knows that you won't always look like death when he comes home.
Here are some recent pics of my boys. Burkley loves to hold Marshall and give him what he thinks a kiss is. He calls him his "baby bb-bb" and it's really cute!

Your boys are so cute! I've had plenty of no sleep nights..you just go in zombie mode and pray that it ends soon!! Send Burkley over here the next time that happens so you can take a little nap, I'd love to help!

It's nice to see that burkley is learning to be soft with his baby brother! you gotta do what you gotta do to survive! At least you will have all of us to help with the boys this weekend! hopefully you'll get more sleep!

Congrats on the beautiful flowers! ok so when my kids were newborns. I would feed them every 2 or 3 hrs. during the day, even if their sleeping you wake them up give them a bath or change their diaper, whatever to wake them. then they get all their feedings in during the day and by night their tummies are so full that they sleep longer. this might take a couple weeks or months for your baby to get in a routine. hope that helps. try and get marshall down when burkley is down so you can take a NAP. Hang in there:)
