Here I am relaxing on the couch with my two kids...that feels so weird and so good to say! A rare, peaceful, non-demanding moment for the three of us.
It has taken some adjusting, and not to say that it's over, but Alexya is getting used to a routine that includes Sonny and doesn't just revolve around her. Of course she is 2 so we have many 2 year old tantrums and tests to go through, but overall she's been very good with sharing our attention and she really is sweet to Santino (besides pulling his hat and socks off all the time).
One funny thing she started doing is encouraging us to get things done fast...for example: if Sonny is crying and I say, "I need to change his diaper Alexya, then I can get you a snack." She will then push against my legs and say, "go mom go." Pretty much anything I tell her I have to do before I do something for her involves the push off and "go mom go" or "go dada go." She is also very excited that Sonny's cord has finally fallen off...since she was convinced that it was a piece of poopoo and now it is "ah-gone."
Lexy and Sonny's "country grandparents" drove down from Browns Valley to visit us and see their new grandson. The last time they came to visit our house was after Alexya was born and so, depending on whether or not we have any more kids, who knows if they will ever come visit again! ;) We had fun and our first restaurant experience with Sonny (who-no big surprise here-slept through it all).
Finally, here is auntie Erica holding her nephew/godson for the first time. She is about to pop herself, as you can see, and so we were excited that she could make the trip. Her due date is Feb 15th and then Lexy and Sonny get to meet their cousin Kara.

Love the pics! Lexy is so understanding about you needing to take care of Sonny. That's an awesome big sister.
