What I woke up to

This is the beautiful smiling face that I woke up to  this morning. Brooklyn was all smiles and making cute gooing sounds. I cannot believe how big she has gotten in just 8 weeks. Aaron was a very helpful big brother today. He picked out the yellow dress that she is wearing. He likes to help alot but sometimes tries to help way too much! I don't think he understands that she is fragile and you have to be very easy with her. He always tried to get in her face. I know he is just trying to love on her but he can't be getting all up in her face like he does. Then when I tell him to back off some, he gets all upset and cries and runs off to his room. Ugh, it is so frustrating sometimes with him. 

My day so far and some thoughts......

Today is a good day so far. Brooklyn is 8 weeks old today. I can't believe how fast time flies by. She will be 2 months old on Monday. I just can't believe it!! Aaron is going to be starting the first grade in 3 weeks. I'm glad that I got all of his school supplies early. We are all ready for him to start school and just have to go register him at his new school next week.

So i have come to the conclusion that being a stay at home mom is so much harder when you have more than one child to care for!! Trying to keep up on the housework, taking care of a newborn, taking care of a 6 year old, attempting to take care of yourself, and also taking care of Matt. Housework has kind of been put on the back burner for the time being and I need to get back on it. I will be able to get alot more done once Aaron starts school and then during the day I'll only have Brooklyn to look after. It is just so hard trying to keep up on housework and stuff when you're so exhausted from taking care of a newborn plus lack of alot of sleep.

Brooklyn rolled last night from her belly to her back for the first time!!! It was so awesome! She even smiled the biggest smile after she did it!!

I got Aaron a Kindergarten workbook so that he can re-learn some of what he lost over the summer. He is excited about the book and actually asks if he can do his "homework" book. lol.
