Finding our Way to Normal!

Someone once said that "Normal is just a setting on my dryer!" I couldn't agree more! We are finding our way little by little towards the "NORMAL" setting in our lives...but we're not quite holding our breath for it yet! :) After a week of help and love from our extended family, we are now working on being just the four of us. In our lives, that includes:

• anywhere from 6-9 bottles a day, mostly taken at night
• sleeping in 2-3 hour increments (yes, for an entire month!)
• countless diaper changes (you could count them, but why?)
• loads of tiny, sweet laundry items to be washed
• more smiles than we could ever have asked for from both of our boys

Yes, it's an adjustment getting used to having two sons in our household. No, we wouldn't have it any other way. Will has been a great big brother. He loves to play with David, and is never too busy to help. He even patted David's leg and told him how proud he was when David had to get his first shots this week. Will said, "David was such a trooper! He did really good at the doctor!" I'd say Will has been quite a trooper this summer as well, and we couldn't be more proud of him.

David continues to be a joy. His health is continuing to improve, and little by little, his scabies sores are disappearing. It's fun to see his little personality start to shine as he plays with his toys, crawls all over the house, and is starting to try his hardest to pull up! He LOVES being held, and would prefer life best if I held him 25 hours a day. Needless to say, my ability to get things done is drastically reduced, but then, my required "to do" list is pretty short too: 1) Hold David, and 2) Love on Will. So, perhaps the laundry will continue to pile up and the delivery menus will get a lot of use, but that's okay with us! :)

Today is the one-month anniversary of our G&R date. David has officially been our son for an entire month! Cupcakes for everyone!
