We have been adjusting to life with two kids now that all our helping hands have departed. The month of December has been an exciting one... but one that I wouldn't trade for the world. Though mostly at home, we've dealt with growth spurts, illness, 2-year molars, and new sleeping arrangements for everyone. Needless to say there's been no shortage of action here!
Here's a look at some of the fun events that have taken place here at home.
We of course had to document Ansel's first bath... it was more successful than Amita's! We'll chalk that up to being more experienced parents!
All dry and snuggly after the bath.
Amita coloring a picture. She is budding young artist and loves coloring, glueing, cutting, and painting.
Ansel with one of his first smiles. He even has dimples - how could anyone resist this face?!?!?!
This was taken with my phone... but it marked a very eventful day for us. Both kids were napping at the same time (a rare occurrence!). When Ansel woke up, it was because his entire body was all wet... he is getting so big that he busted through the velcro on his diaper like the hulk!! Let's just say that an open diaper doesn't contain the liquid the way we would hope... good thing there was only liquid to contain! This was also the same afternoon that Amita decided her bed was no longer a good place for naps and she started sleeping on the floor!
Ansel showing off his manly mustache!
Amita in some cute pigtails. She wasn't in the mood to smile.
Ansel resting after a rare trip out. This used to be the only way to get Amita to sleep during the day... but Ansel is more interested in napping (hooray for Mama!).
Here's Ansel showing off his smile and his own special quilt that Grandma Morehouse made.
Amita modeling a pig shower cap, gloves, and a sweater for Ansel from some dear friends! Right now, she has decided that everything that's hers is hers and everything that is Ansel's is hers!
Ansel wearing a hat that once belonged to my brother. He is too oversized to wear the matching onesie (Ansel, I mean... although I don't think my bro would fit it now either...).
Another of my phone shots. Amita was very excited to have her picture taken and she smiled very big for me.
Then she saw that the camera was storing her picture and she was very surprised and excited. Super glad I captured this look on her face too!
Amita has been very interested in helping with the baby. Here she is patting his back to help him burp.
Amita helping the bouncy chair to rock. This is less helpful when he falls asleep in it and then she comes and shakes it!
Mama with all her buddies at home. Though exhausting, it's been a fun month!
