Update

We are doing pretty well. Life is pretty much back to normal. We are just a family of 5 now. Camille has been a little jealous lately. I think the newness has worn off and sharing mom and dad with baby brother has set in. We are handling it though and it has not gotten that bad. Everett is not sleeping as well as he was. We had a week of him being up about every 3 hours which was a little much. He is back to doing a 5 hour stretch at night but then he follows it up with 2 hours which is hard. A normal night (for now) is him going to bed at 9 getting up at 2 and 4 to eat and then up at 7:30 for the day. For the first 4 weeks of his life he pretty much slept all day long. It was hard to keep him up. Now he is pretty much up all day. Hard to get him down to sleep a stretch of more than an hour. I took all 3 kids to the zoo the other day and he was wake the entire time. We were there from 11:30 to 4. It was a very pretty day and we had a blast. We all paid for it that night though. We were all over tired. Our other sleep problem is that Camille has hit a rough patch. She has been up at least once a night for too many nights. That is not normal for her at all. Plus the time change didn't help at all. She was up bouncing in her crib at 6 am most of the mornings this week. She has a cough at night and it wakes us all up. Can't wait for it to go away. They both still just love their baby brother though. They keep the kissing flowing and to keep them off of him is almost impossible. It's sweet but no wonder he has a stuffy nose. Breastfeeding is going great. I feel so lucky that it has been so easy. I love the time to just sit and cuddle with him. He is a very sweet baby. Camille was napping and Avery was having quiet time and I sat w him sleeping on my lap for 45 minutes. I just stared at him for most of it. Trying to memorize every sweet little feature that he has. So innocent and incredible. All too soon he will be a terrible 2's monster one minute and a 2 year old that just adores you the next. Right now he still thinks we hung the moon and I am going to relish in that as long as I can.
