It's almost been a month for our family of 4!

Can't believe we've had baby Tenley for almost a month! She is such a cutie pie! She prefers to sleep most of the day and then doesn't want Mommy to lay her down in her bed at night. Even if she is sleeping and I lay her down, she's awake before I can tiptoe back to bed. Needless to say, I've been running on very little sleep! Good thing I have the best Nutrilite vitamins and XS energy drinks to keep me going thru the day! Jackson still doesn't pay much attention to Tenley and will definitely not hold her if we try to place her on his lap. But he has tried to hold her hair...for those of you who've seen Jackson lately, he has an obsession with holding hair and putting it in his binky. I thought getting my hair cut short would be a good solution but now he just pulls harder to get it close to him. When Tenley cries, Jackson looks at her like "will you stop it already?"
It's really not too hard handling the 2 kids during the day, but bedtime is a challenge for us. It takes awhile to get all 4 of us ready for bed and in bed. Speaking of which...last night we were in bed (Carl, Jackson and I) at 10pm and Tenley was in her bed. But Jackson couldn't get settled and was growling and making noises. We kept reminding him to be quiet because his sister was sleeping and after 15 minutes of this, Carl put Jackson in his bed. Within seconds he was crying uncontrollably and worked himself up so much that he was coughing. Carl ran in because we both knew what was about to happen. As soon as Carl picked him up from his crib, he threw up all over Carl (with no shirt on!) and all over the floor. He's done this before when we put him in his bed and he's not asleep. So then I had to get out of bed, give Jackson a bath, Carl had to get a shower and then clean the rug. We were both gagging. When I first saw Carl holding Jack with throw up everywhere, I sorta giggled to myself even though we both were not laughing at the time. So after all that and the 3 of us were back in bed, it was 11pm and Tenley woke up! That's one memorable night!
