As you can see our family has recently gone through a lot of change. This post is all about the number 2.
The first 2 our family experienced was 2 moves.We moved out of our Louisiana apartment before Christmas this last year, before we had any idea where we would be moving to or hoping T would soon get a job. I call it our "Faith Move" because we got out of there having no idea where we would end up next. We stayed/lived with the Motley family in NM for about 6 weeks until we got the news that T would be offered a job in Colorado. After a few weeks of figuring out the logistics we were able to join Terrance in Colorado and complete our move #2. It felt so so good to know T had a job and to finally know where I would be having our baby girl. Getting there was easy but getting everything figured out/ normal move stuff was crazy! But we feel so blessed to be here in Colorado. We love it here!
The next #2: we bought a car!! (More stressful adult stuff). For the first time in over a year and a half T and I didn't have to share a car, we finally had two cars again! Plus, I didn't have to bend over to put Kai in our small Honda Civic anymore, my pregnant self was so happy. Its definitely not a new car but its new to me and I love it! It even fits three car seats in the second row, you know planning ahead here.
Next, its no surprise we now have 2 kids!! There have definitely been hard days but I love being a family of four. Kai loves his sister, Irie doesn't cry too hard when Kai hits her and I have been lucky enough to have them both asleep at the same time for at least 30 minutes every day since she has been born. Yay for my sanity.
Kai recently turned 2.
He is spunky, mischievous, and cute all at the same time. He loves his daddy and sister and I have loved watching him bond more with his daddy now that sister is here. He loves anything with a ball: football, soccer, baseball and his new favorite basketball. He currently can't sleep unless he has his 2 basketballs and Thomas the Train, (which we had to "borrow" from someone else's house because he wouldn't leave without it, luckily they don't miss him). He loves cars, trucks, the moon, singing and reading books, climbing, jumping, saying no, wearing shoes, occasionally watching Daniel Tiger, face-timing, his cousins, grandmas and grandpas, dancing, eating snacks, not drinking milk, and stealing our phones to watch "dance songs," Moana and Trolls.
He is starting to finally warm up to the nursery at church and he loves his friends and making new friends. He loves meat, always asks for "more meat," oranges and broccoli. If we ask him what he wants for dinner he says chicken and rice, and broccoli. I may be just a little proud of that.
He loves the park and being outside.
He challenges my patience everyday but I am sure that's normal.
He still takes one nap, weighs about 28 pounds, is a short, dense little dude, size 4 diapers and 2T clothes.
Our Irie girl is 2 months old. She is the sweetest baby but is starting to come out of her calmness and show us a little sass. She loves to nurse, sleep, watch brother, smile, hang with daddy, sleep in the ergo, kick, be held and fight naps. She sleeps great at night once she's down but still wakes 2-3 times to eat. She hates her car seat when shes hungry or needs to burp, loves being passed around at church, and play dress up with mommy. She now refuses to take a binky and still hates to be swaddled. Her smile melts my heart and I feel so lucky to be her mommy.
2 moves, 2 cars, 2 kids: a 2 year old and a 2 month old.
And 2 things that are new for me:
- 2 blog posts within 2 months,
- AND I just decided to be a Rodan + Fields Consultant, like an hour ago. haha Thanks for reading!
