Apparently my little alien baby is no longer alien looking, and now looks like his father. You're welcome. You're welcome that I carried him for 39 weeks, exhausted, big, and in pain. You're welcome for the sleepless nighttime feedings and diaper changes... and all for what? So he can look justtttt like his father. But he's a cute version of his father right? It's been 2 months since he's joined our family and we could not be happier. I mean, I don't want to jinx myself, but other than breastfeeding not being a success, this baby has been THE easiest baby ever. He still sleeps well at night only requiring me to get up twice per night (so awesome). He does, however, go through a lot of wet diapers. My recommendation for anyone about to become a parent, have a diaper raffle! You can do it as part of your baby shower. Basically, everyone that brings s pack of diapers gets entered into a raffle. Tip: request sizes 2 and up as babies outgrow newborns and size 1 pretty quick usually. Gryffin has been in size 2 for a couple weeks now and he is just now 2 months old. For the raffle, we did a gift card, I mean everyone likes to win money right? This is a very convenient way for people to help since a pack of diapers is under 10 bucks. This also is a huge help to the parents. Hopefully we won't have to spend a dime on diapers for a few more months. Gryff is also becoming a real person now, smiling at me and cooing... gosh those baby noises are the cutest. Honestly, most days I don't even feel like a have a newborn because he isn't high maintenance at all. Toddler update
Gabriel Giovanni... yep still the same. Still destroying my kitchen everyday and eating like a little monster. He's talking so much more now though! I'm sure only we can understand what he is trying to say most of the time, but it's so cool to watch your child become more vocal and to be able to communicate better. He's also going through this phase of playing with his brother where he tries to hit Jayden with any item in sight. My poor Jayden has been cracked in the head with hangers and light sabers a few times. It's not funny at all actually, and I blame his father because him and Jayden watch wrestling at night ( joking, I'm sure it's just a stage and we are handling it). What is funny, however, is the fact that he knows the theme songs for some of the wrestlers such as John Cena and Shinsuke Nakamora (don't ask me how I know these names) and breaks out singing them throughout the day. He also breaks out singing the Moana song and the rap song "whoooop theeeere it is" ( you know exactly what I'm talking about don't you? And probably sang it in your head)... I mean , he's a pretty diverse child if you ask me. And Jayden... Jayden is just Jayden. Just excelling at life, scoring in the 97th percentile and doing math problems that take me a while to solve in his head. He loves math and often asks for extra work at home, which makes me so proud. Who knows, maybe we will have an engineer in the family one day, in which case I'll be a stay-at-home grandma and watch his babies everyday. Well that is all for today as I have to go feed these children and keep the "mommy-ing" going... see you at the next update!
