Aren't they cute?!?! This experience of getting professional shots taken wasn't fun. Jericho was extremely distracted by all the cools toys, so Nate ended up holding him in position. As you can see, Malachi slept through most of it.
Life is different, but good. I am completely taken with the men in my life. Malachi is still a really good baby, he's had bad gas a few times - but he still manages to almost completely sleep through the night. When he does wake up for a feeding - he just happily goes back to sleep. Jericho has been a real goof lately. He does anything for attention and most of it is hilarious. He bounces so hard on his zebra toy now that he gets a bunch of air. He also loves to run into his room and climb on his stool and watch the "Eee's!" (Horses). The only time I find hard with two is when I'm trying to nurse Malachi and Jericho wants me to help him with something - most of the time it's to help him collect toys he's thrown under the couch. But we're doing well.
The baby is now weighing in at 9 lbs 13 oz. A gain of almost a pound since birth... and that was on Tuesday. I'm sure he's 10 by now.
And tomorrow I turn 29. Twenty-nine. Wow. I can't believe I'm 29 and have two kids. I know some people who are completely done and have kids in grade school by the time they're 29, but I didn't get married until I was 25. Nate will be taking me for dinner tonight while Mom watches both boys. This will be my first time away from Kai for more than... well, I've never been away from him. Tomorrow I'm hoping to have some people over to celebrate with me after church... if you wanna come let me know!!
Here's to the next 29 and watching my beautiful boys grow up.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.... lol grandma R... enjoyed the boys last nite and time spent with gg and Jericho and watching grandpa with Jericho,too funny
At 29 I believe I was single and chilling out in Banff somewhere - not remotely in 'having kids' mode. I'm now going to be 35 next month and have a 9 month old baby, still unsure of whether or not to have the next.
I think the advantage to having kids in earlier twenties is easier pregnancies and more energy. But the advantage to having them later is more life experience, more time to have lived your life for yourself and more maturity and wisdom to impart to your kids.
Besides, age is a state o' mind!
