With our boys

The De Leon's are adjusting well to being a family of 4. Reese is growing off the charts - literally off the charts. The Dr. said he's the size of a 2 month old already. Consequently he sleeps well and of course eats well. We've got a good "schedule" down already where he's fed at 11 or 12 at night, again at 3 and then finally at 6 or 7. We alternate the 3 am feeding and so we both get about a 5 hour stretch of sleep each night. He's sleeping in the nap nanny between us in bed so he's easily accessible by both of us, but he's confined and elevated making everyone's night better. We keep a basket of diapers and wipes at the foot of the nap nanny too for easy access.


I must say that having the second child is so much easier than the first. Reese is starting to settle in a bit, but he's a vocal kid. He grunts, squeals, and gurgles all the time. Add this to Vin's nonstop stream of conscience talking and it's never quiet around here anymore.


As for Vin we're working on a few new words this week.
1 - independent - as in "Vin you need to play independently for a while" (oh how i wish he would do this!)
2. evidence - as in "Vin there is evidence that you did not lift the seat to pee."
3. I can't think of the third right now, probably because of the sleep schedule discussed above. There's further "evidence" of this in the picture of me below, I look haggard!

Lastly the Garden Blog is back - the link is on (cleaned up) blog roll on the right.
