2 months! in Life as a Mom of 2 boys.....and a girl!!

My sweet baby girl is 2 months today! And right after I wrote my last entry, when she had just turned 6 weeks, she started smiling a ton at everyone. It’s the cutest thing! Her eyes will lock on you and she will think about it for a minute and then just give you the best grin. A few days after she started that she started cooing as well. I tell the boys she’s trying to talk to us the only way she can. Cody loves it! He gets so excited if she grins or coos at him lol. And she definitely does. Miles just moves around too fast for her so she saves her grins for Cody when she sees him. I tell him to talk to her and this morning he was saying, “Hi baby! I like your pajamas. You are so pretty. I’m glad you’re here in our family” (cue heart melting!!)

Summer continues to be an easy baby for the most part. Of course I have times where she doesn’t want to be put down and I have to figure out how to do what I need to do with her in my arms but she’s not like that too often. We all grocery shop as a family every 2nd Saturday and I have her in the baby carrier on my chest and she just sleeps the whole time. She used to scream in the car but she’s barely doing that anymore either. She will just look around or fall asleep. She’s getting better with her head control too but will probably still need another month to be really good at holding it up.

I’m so glad the warm weather is here and I like going for walks but sometimes being outside with the kids for a few hours tires me out. I get home and I’m like thank goodness for my a/c and just want to have a rest, although usually that’s not possible because the baby will need to be fed or the kids or something. My favorite time is weekdays when Cody is at school, Miles and the baby are napping and I’m relaxing on the couch having lunch and watching a movie or just playing on my tablet in the silence. I’m tired at that time of day so it’s nice to just melt into the couch and not do much to recharge a bit before the rest of the day when it’s busier and I need to break up children’s arguments, discipline, feed the baby multiple times, feed the rest of the family, etc.

Cody played t-ball last summer every Saturday morning which was cool. It’s kind of a slow sport though, so the kids were bored sitting on the bench a lot or standing in the field. So this year we put him in soccer which seems more his speed with all of the running and he is enjoying it but sometimes he doesn’t want to do what they want him to do so we have to say “listen and do what the coach says now and then you can do whatever you want later.” I try to watch but I stand at the side and have to keep the baby happy and keep an eye on Miles so that’s not always easy. This past Saturday, Miles was running back and forth between me and Mike, who was with Cody, and the distance between us wasn’t super close and we actually LOST him for a couple minutes! It was so scary! The game ended and Mike and Cody came over to where I was with the baby and Mike was like “where’s Miles?” and I was like “I thought he was with you!” and we didn’t see him anywhere. Most of Cody’s teammates were gone and we could clearly see he wasn’t over there with him. There’s like 10 other teams playing all in the same area though and everyone was starting to leave so there were people everywhere. Of course Mike was like “omg! Somebody took him!” (he’s a negative thinker) and I (an optimistic thinker) said, “let’s walk around and see if we see him. He has to be here somewhere!” Within a couple minutes we saw a lady holding a crying Miles saying, “did someone lose their kid?” So…phew! He was freaked out after that and didn’t want to let go of my hand. Will definitely need to watch him closer next time (I was feeding the baby and a bit distracted as he ran back and forth).
