TEAM COREN: 2 months old!

It is hard to believe that our little girl is already 2 months old! The time has gone by so fast and I go back to work in less than a month! I'm trying not to think about that yet though. It has definitely been an experience getting used to having 2 kids around, but it has been fun. Kane has been doing great with Landry and is already protective of her. We'll see how that changes once she starts getting mobile and into his stuff. I can now see how the 2nd child sometimes feels like they get short changed as I feel like I haven't taken very many pictures and videos of Landry as we did with Kane. Truthfully I don't always think of grabbing the camera because we are either interacting with her or chasing after him, but I'm trying to catch all of the fun little moments as best as I can!

I took Landry to her 2 month checkup today and she is doing well and is a healthy little girl. She did not enjoy the shots and I hated being the bad guy that had to hold her legs down. Talk about traumatizing! I made Cory do it with Kane so I didn't have to watch! She recovered though and took a good nap this afternoon so hopefully she's good to go for tonight. Speaking of that, she has been doing very well at night for us. For the past couple of weeks now, she has been going anywhere from 6-9 hrs between feedings, so technically she is sleeping though the night! Let's hope it stays that way and she turns out to be as good of a sleeper as her big brother. She started smiling a few weeks ago and she is usually full of them right away in the mornings. She loves to watch her brother run around the living room and has started smiling at him as well. I forgot how much fun it is to see all these little changes when they are so small. It all happens so fast too!

Kane has been doing great in daycare and is getting to be such a big boy! We haven't quite tackled potty training yet, but he has not acted interested in it at all. He has been helpful around the house when we ask him to get us things for Landry and he loves to "pet" and kiss her head. He has been good about not getting into the presents under the Christmas tree after being told not to a couple of times, but I'm sure he's just itching to tear into them. He's probably hoping that he's getting an iPad since he is obsessed with mine. It is crazy how easily a 2 year old picks up on how to use something like that!

We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas this year and seeing family but to also celebrate as our own little family of 4. I am hoping for at least a little bit of snow just to make it feel a little bit more like Christmas, but since we bought a snowblower this year, that probably won't happen! Anyway, I hope I am not forgetting anything and I hope to keep updating this thing monthly. Enjoy some pictures that I did manage to take and we hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
