It's a tough job...

Well, Aisling is turning out to be a great big sister! We'll excuse all the hugging attempts that border on smothering, and the "force the binky into the sleeping baby" game; 'cause, gosh, this is so cute:



By the way, she's been begging to do that since I was pregnant....

Version 3.5

Okay, I'll admit it, I was cocky. I assumed, since we already had three kids, so to speak, adding one more would be a piece of cake. *snort* However, I neglected to remember, that when Wyatt moved in he was 8. He was not a nursing baby!!! He was able to be left alone.

This is very different. I forgot how much time it takes to nurse a baby. I will say that when Wyatt moved in we went to 2.5 kids, and now we're at 3.5. (Not that Wyatt's only half a child, but you know what I mean!)

I've heard the quote that going from two kids to three kids is like going from one on one defense to zone defense. That's an analogy to which I can relate! I'm never alone! I've managed to do so many things now while nursing. Need a good night story? no worries, I can nurse and read. Butt wiped? Sure, I'm only nursing. Wyatt needs to be fed? Sure, I can nurse and do that. Change a light bulb? Why not! I'm sure, at this point, I could fix NASA's clogged toilet while nursing. It's like a super power, really.

Here are some new pics:

But it does not end

So, Connor had a friend over to play today, Quinten. Aisling came inside at one point in tears. When prompted what the problem was, she tearfully replied "Connor and Quinten said they were taller than me". Does she actually know what that means? Is that really tear worthy?

*Sigh* At least she can be taller than Siobhan now.

I may be a bit biased....

But I think these kids are awfully good looking....

more pictures!

Here's a great shot of Siobhan looking around:
