So tired...

The babies and I are so tired! As they get older they are sleeping less during the day (expected) but they are also waking up more at night. I miss my good night sleepers! I think Adele is still dealing with bad reflux attacks, so I'm taking her back to the doctor. But Walter just seems to want to wake up and eat little snacks -- which wouldn't be a big deal if he was the only baby. However, when I put him down, I know I'll be getting up again soon after to feed another baby.

My sister-in-law came over Christmas while her mom was here and she was a HUGE help. Here is Kim holding Adele.

My mother-in-law was a huge, huge help. She came over Thanksgiving and stayed up through mid-January. I don't know what we would have done without her! Here's a photo we got of all three kiddos with Jeff, his sister, Kim, and his mom, Elaine.

My brother came to visit for a few days and spent most of his time holding Gordon. Matt also got up every night with me at 3am to help feed the babies which allowed Jeff to catch up on some sleep. I just hope we didn't wear out Matt and send him back to his own family too exhausted to do anything!
And here's the latest photo of the trio together:
Walter 11lb 3oz
Gordon 13lb 3oz
Adele 11 6 oz

Gordon was really needy the past few days, but he was also super interactive. He laughed for the first time and smiled like crazy. Here's my adorable little boy.

  3. Giggly Gordon. That video is pricelesss. Uncle Matt knows how to make babies smile...he has lots of "baby experience". Glad he could be there with you for a while. Hope you and Jeff are getting lots of rest with your parents there. Gordon, Walter and Adele are growing SO fast and getting cuter every day. I know you are all enjoying them and keeping them happy. Full time job, isn't it? Tell your parents "hello". Take care and have fun.
