One Month Old

Jaris' first tractor ride with daddy! To protect his ears he had layers of kleenex covering them, covered by a toque and then a hoodie!

Kenize checking out her brother! Some days she is not sure what to think of him - however they are starting to bond and warm up to each other!

Our two little MIRACLES
(I say that despite that fact that Jaris did not let mommy sleep again last night)

Mommy and her miracles!

Life is moving along at a sleep deprived pace! Jaris seems to be asleep one minute and then he is awake and squawking the next minute. We have tried everything to get him to sleep for longer than a few minutes - swaddled, unswaddled, on his back, on his tummy, in his car seat, in the vibrating bouncy chair etc. and nothing seems to be working except on mommy and even then he prefers that mommy is sitting in a rocking chair instead of laying down. For a one month old he knows what he wants and he is a great little self advocate. Even at the baby shower last night - he decided he had had enough of other people holding him so he started squawking, and there was nothing wrong outside of he wanted mommy and that was that. Once he fell asleep I could pass him off again, however not until he was in a deep sleep. Seriously if feels as though Kenzie is way more attached to us and secure in her attachment than Jaris is- at least that is how I feel at this moment in my sleep deprived state. The crazy thing is Kenzie takes nice long naps however when she is napping Jaris is awake and then when Jaris finally falls asleep Kenzie is awake. Oh well I sure do love them no matter what!
