Chloe is Four Months Old!

Little Chloe is growing and growing. I wish that time could stand still and I could have some time with her alone. I don't say that because I don't enjoy being with Sawyer because I truly do. It's just that I feel like all of my time is devoted to him. Most moms I talk to feel the same way. I started to think about it and I've had a four-month-old before, but I have never had a two-year-old so he's pretty unpredictable. I feel much more confident in taking care of Chloe, at least for now.

I have learned a lot in the past four months that I have been a mother of two: (While you're reading this please keep in mind that I know how rough I really have it!) :)

*Sawyer will wake from his nap as soon as Chloe falls asleep or vice versa. (At least Chloe is napping some these days!)

*Sawyer will say, "sit potty," the phone or the doorbell will ring, or Rosie will need outside as soon as I sit down to nurse Chloe.

*I have the daily decision as to whether I will discuss Sawyer's and/or Chloe's bowel movements with Lorne when he gets home.

*All Lorne and I seem to talk about is Sawyer and Chloe.

*I will be out of whichever food Sawyer is requesting.

*I can go all day without brushing my hair or putting on my make-up.

*I have absolutely no idea what to do with Legos.

*No matter what it is, Daddy does it better.

*Only do something with a two-year-old if you're prepared to do it at least once daily for the rest of your life.

*I can't remember what I did with my time before I had kids.

*This has to be the toughest job there is. I am trying to please two people who most of the time have absolutely no idea of what they want.

I'll close with some pictures:

She is always kicking those feet!


I couldn't capture the smile this time.

Sawyer is doing great with potty training! We are so proud of him!

Kelly, you are doing a great job and are such a wonderful mother!!
You were my firstborn child and my little shadow.. so much like Sawyer; now you have the mom's perspective and natural feelings of inadequacy that go along with trying to spend time with 2 small children close in age. We always think we aren't doing enough. Don't get discouraged! Both Sawyer and Chloe are thriving on all the love and attention you and Lorne are giving them as parents. I am so proud of both of you. I love you. Mom
