1st Time

Today is the first time that I have been home by myself with both kids. I am not going to lie I was a little nervous about how it was going to go, but so far so good. This morning when I was feeding Cole Annabelle decided that she was going to undress herself - which is not uncommon for her to do. I figured I have to pick my battles and it wasn't going to hurt her to run around in her diaper for a while. When I was almost done feeding Cole Annabelle came running out of her room holding a book in one hand, her diaper in the other and she had a big grin on her face. Luckily I was able to get her diaper back on before she decided to go to the bathroom. After Cole was fed we all played on the floor for a while. She did really well playing next to him. She insisted on sitting right next to him to the point where some part of her had to be touching him. When she wasn't paying attention I would move him a little and a few minutes later she would again scoot closer to him. Cole ended up falling asleep before lunch so Annabelle and I were able to enjoy lunch together. Then it was time to feed Cole again and back to sleep he went. Annabelle went down for her nap as well and they have both been sleeping for the past 2 hours. When I thought about today I was envisioning total chaos with screaming kids and no one sleeping - I am glad that is not the way it turned out.
Our past week went well. Annabelle went to daycare like normal. We think it is best to keep her in her routine. Normally Brian gets her up, ready and off to daycare. I helped one morning and it didn't end well but when I stay out of sight she is in a great mood and walks out the door with no problems. In the evenings when she comes home we eat supper and play for a while and she is still in bed by 7 or 7:30 each night and continues to sleep thought the night.
Cole is a great baby. He still sleeps quite a bit and eats about every 3 hours. He is very laid back and doesn't fuss much unless he is hungry or is mad that we are trying to change his diaper. At night he has been having some awake time from about 8-10 then eats and he is off to bed. He usually wakes up about 1 or 2:00am and 5 or 6:00am to eat and then right back to sleep. I am not sure how we got so lucky to have 2 infants that do well at night but I am thankful that we do.
