1st Week Home

Wow a mom of 2! Life has definitely been an adjustment this week. It hasn't been as bad as I thought because Brooklyn is such a good baby. She is very calm and relaxed which is totally opposite of her brother when he was a baby.

Life on the other hand has been tough for Justin. He has been learning that his attention is now shared with someone else. He is a little more emotional. Ben has been great to help out when Justin needs to get out of the house. Justin's favorite thing to do with his dad is ride in his truck. Justin does love his little sister. He can't stop kissing her! Hopefully he will be able to adjust quickly!
