The New Normal

Life as a family of four . . .

I still find it hard to believe sometimes.

But life has already fallen into something like a new pattern. 

We haven’t resumed quite the same adventure pace, but we still get out to enjoy the sunshine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time Jake was home on paternity leave was fabulous and the initial transition was smooth and relaxing. 

Thus far, we’ve been able to give them both plenty of attention and Logan really hasn’t shown any jealousy issues yet.

During Jake’s leave, we rested as much as we could.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And enjoyed family time.

With Jake back at work, things have still gone pretty well.  Naomi is behaving exactly as a 2-week old ought to, eating and sleeping lots.

Logan is a very attentive and caring big brother.  He always wants to know where “baby” is and gives her lots of kisses and gentle pats.  He’s also a great little helper, bringing me burp cloths, etc.

 

We’ve been doing this a lot.  Except that it’s usually Mommy nursing and reading at the same time. 

Finally, a couple pictures for comparison.

Until next time . . .
