So we're almost a week into life without grandma and grandpa, and surviving fairly well. The biggest adjustment has been functioning on a lot less sleep, and dealing with boys who miss their grandparents a lot :). After a little growth spurt this last week (feeding more often), Will is now usually sleeping from 11-4, and then 5-7, which gives mama 7 hours of sleep on a good night. That, I can live with! Here are some pictures which highlight some of the week's activities:
We decided to move Will out of the
bassinet and into his crib since his reflux noises were keeping us up a lot at night. I slept in this
bassinet as a baby (as well as my brothers), and all three of our boys have used it, so it's held a lot of wee newborns!
Tia came over for a movie and pizza night before heading back to NYC - so fun.
She helped us put the boys to bed - they loved that.
Andrew brought out toys, and gave Will his favorite puppies, blankets, and pillow to make him comfy. He definitely seems to be asserting his role as the protective and nurturing oldest brother.
THE BOUNCY - oh how we love you! This was a gift to the boys for Christmas (and an investment in my sanity), and we have used it SO much already. Perfect for getting energy out on these cold winter days.
come bounce with us!

ReplyDeleteYayyy! I love all the new pics! (Esp. from movie night -- that was SO fun!) I'm so pleased to hear that you guys are adjusting well without grandma and grandpa there, and that Baby Will is letting you get some sleep! Sending lots of love from NY!
ReplyDeletea. the bassinet is adorable, as is Will. b. Ryan wants to know if he can come play in the bouncy castle.
