Big Brothers

Aiden is 7 weeks old now. He is lovely and cute. He has brought some big changes with him and some of the biggest have been with Owen and Ethan.

Owen... Owen is a great help to me really he is. He loves to help so much that he is often in the way and I have to point out that I am Aiden's mommy and the boss. He has also taken to waking up in the middle of the night SCREAMING for me. This is especially fun when it happens about 30 min after I have gotten back in bed after putting Aiden back down. My reaction to this has been to wake him before I get in bed. I know what you are thinking "you never wake a sleeping child" but really it isnt that bad. I wake him up just enough to tell him it is potty time. He takes my hand and walks to the bathroom. When he is done he gets back in bed, tells me he loves me, asks for water and is back asleep. For the most part this has stopped the might wakings screaming for me. This has also had the side effect of Owen waking dry in the morning 9 times out of 10. Soon I will try breaking the night wakings and hoping he stays asleep.

Ethan... Oh my Ethan. He just wants more attention. He is acting out in a bad way. He is biting and not listening. He thinks it is funny to throw things. He doesnt understand why he cant be on my lap while Aiden is feeding. On a REALLY bad day is is wetting his pants on purpose. God help us both. He is also really cute in his wanting to help. He wants to help me make "mommy milk". When I am pumping he wants to rub on me, touch me and a few times he has tried helping me squeeze milk out.

The boys are Awesome big brothers. I am so lucky!
