Two Weeks

{Our sweet sleepyhead}

We're so in love with this little man and I just can't believe two and a half weeks have flown by. We've had some really great days and to be honest, some very hard days where I wished for a "do over". But I am already learning to simplify, to say no to extra responsibilities, and yes to people who offer to help.

Words can't express how grateful I am to my mom for being here the first week. I wish she could be here more often. And I'm so thankful for Stephen, who comes home from long days at work only to amaze me with his patience and ability to make Jacob feel like one in a million.

Jacob is still bouncing off the walls, truly, but can be so sweet and gentle with his baby brother. He always wants to know where he is. He'll tickle him or give kisses and hugs spontaneously. Maybe a poke in the eye or hard pull of the arm every once in a while. But we're learning. So far I've only had to call the doctor once- after he dove off the side of the couch head-butting Landon while nursing. Yikes. A day at a time.

Landon is officially 10 pounds, has genuinely smiled at me three times now, and even rolled over twice in the last two days. Just another Superman ready to move! But he loves his sleep and I plan to take advantage of the peaceful cuddle time while he's still tiny.
