Every so often I get the inclination to actually stick to blogging. I feel like it would be such a good way to chronicle our lives as a family, and really fun to look back on in the future.
Here is another attempt!
Since my last blog, we have added to the flock! Macaroni was born on December 28 and has been an incredible source of joy for us all! Aidan has done an INCREDIBLE job adjusting to having a little brother. It's been amazing to see him blossom into the role of big brother with little to no jealousy issues. The biggest struggle to date was having a brand new baby + potty training Lava. Thankfully that was a relatively short process and he is now bathroom independent and has very very few accidents (knock on wood). Macaroni is a happy, delightful little person. He is very different from his brother in so many ways, but I'm having such a blast with this small person being around.
Unlike Lava as a baby, Macaroni is very snuggly. He loves nothing more than being held (especially by mama) and he is a huge fan of being worn. He is happy as a clam in our Ergo or BabyHawk. One thing he does have in common with Lava is horrible sleep issues. Being our second child, we have done some things differently which has made things a bit easier, but he's still up many times a night at almost 6 months old. I do miss sleeping, but I know how fleeting this part of our lives is, so I try to enjoy every moment with this little guy...even at 3AM!
Welcome, Zachary. You have been a perfect addition to this world. <3
