Life as a mom of 2

I had someone recently say to me "this baby must be a better baby than Wyatt because your blog has been pretty quiet".  With Wyatt I had so much content because he was a challenging baby for the first 2 months.  Feel free to relive that here New Mom Confessions.  This new lil nugget of joy (baby June) is the complete opposite of her brother.  She eats, sleeps, and goes through an abundance of diapers. Thats it.
 Look at those cheeks!

While it's not that this new baby is so great I just have no content to share, it's that sweet jesus there is no time!  Moms of multiples out there am I exaggerating?  This baby is in fact a great baby, her 2.5 year old brother on the other hand........  We are struggling.  Don't get me wrong, he loves his sister to death, the problem is that he would rather not share me.  

Toddlers have this awesome ability to be sweet and loving and then the minute your hands are full feeding the baby, or bathing her, or anything that involves you not being able to help them or give attention they turn into tiny assholes.  Yes, I said it.  You all have thought it.  He waits until I am busy to then throw a complete temper tantrum, need something right NOW, or just like mentioned above be a tiny asshole.  My cousin once told me that having one child is easy, two is life changing, and every one after that is just one more.  This couldn't be more true!

While it can be challenging taking care of the baby and keeping the toddler in line, I wouldn't have it any other way.  I mean she is such a good baby she makes it easy to want a third!  What ya think husband?.............
