Mom of Two

So far, being a mom of two isn't that different from being a mom of one. I still spend my time entertaining Scamper and doing things around the house. I just sometimes have a baby in my arms (or nursing). The only big difference is the fact that I don't leave the house much. It has to be VERY planned out if I do. If it isn't the baby eating, then it is Scamper taking a nap, or the baby is going to need to eat in a few minutes. But I am getting used to it a little bit. So far these are the things we have done outside our home:
  • Storytime at the library--3 times (and successful each time!)
  • Grocery store (no more "quick" trips for me)
  • BYU Folk Dance Team performance at Tuachan outdoor theater (we took the baby to this one and left Scamper with a sitter--this is what our 'dates' will be like for a while, I guess)
  • Running (I have now gone running two times, but pushing our double stroller is kind of a joke--the thing is huge! But Baby can't go in a running stroller until he is older; plus we don't have one anyway.)
  • Out to dinner--with my parent's and the Hubby's parents

Sadly, that is all. But it will get easier, especially when baby doesn't need to nurse every 2 1/2 hours. Now, on to what we have been up to at home. Much more exciting!

Here are a few things we did to entertain during Conference. Scamper did really well.

And now on to some cute pictures of the new little one.
What an angel! He is such a good baby.

First family picture. Notice the cheesy grin on Scamper's face. I love it!



Proud big brother.

Those last pictures with both your boys in them are TOO CUTE. And I must say, I am supremely impressed with your family picture. How did you get Scamper to smile like that?! We have yet to get such a great family pic. I love it. :)

I LOVE the the two snuggle muffins!! That just made me laugh. You guys have some adorable kids! And don't worry...the getting out does get easier.

Yeah, it's not the baby that's hard. It's the older one. Did Scamper start out with dark hair like that?

Yep, he had the same dark hair. But it all fell out and then came back see-through! :)
