Little B

Little B in his sling....his favorite place to hang out

Don't you just want to eat him!! Babies are so edible. Brendan just turned 4 months old this past Sunday. We cannot believe the time is flying by even faster than it did with Owen and Avery! He is still a lovable little guy with a great smile and lots of energy. About a month ago, he began the teething process. So after huge amounts of drool and some intermittent fussiness, the two little pearls that are under his swollen gums have not reared their ugly heads. Poor guy. We think that they'll make their appearance in the next month or so for sure.

As for the adjustment with Mom going back to work two weeks ago, he's been minimally phased by it. Takes a bottle like a champ (unlike some female child of ours that we shall not name in this post) and the 9pm - 6:00 am block of sleep that we have been so very blessed with since he was 2 1/2 months old has remained -- OH JOY! Mom loves that more than you know. It helps out tons when she doesn't get to bed until 1 a.m. on work nights. Mom is finding that her bedtime is a bit earlier than it used to be, since B was born...must be a 'getting older' thing.

As you can probably guess, the biggest adjustment with Mom going back to work has been for Mom and Dad....juggling the 'schedules' and making sure that the kids' daily routine runs as smooth as possible. We're doing a fine job so far, but it's going to take some time before it runs really smooth. And Dad is doing an awesome job with the kids at home, as always. He's the best! By the time things start falling into place here, it'll be time to shake things up again with the start of the school year. Owen going to first grade (frown) and Miss Avery beginning her first year of preschool (which she is soooooo excited about). We'll be updating the blog over the weekend with some 'summer fun' pics and some great stories. Until then....
