Life with 2 kids is definitely a juggling act right now! Thankfully, Blake is an easy baby. I can't imagine if I had a colicky baby plus Kiera to deal with! I have a lot to be thankful for. Lately, he's been sleeping a 5-6 hour stretch at night and then another 3-hour stretch, so I'm very much enjoying getting enough sleep! Kiera has been watching videos on YouTube lately and has learned her ABC's. She can sing the whole song, except she misses a few letters at the end! She enjoys watching Elmo, the Cactus Cuties, cats, and puppies.
Last night, Jared had a cold and was utterly exhausted and I had a fever and was achy. My Mom came over and rescued us by looking after our kids. Jared slept all evening and my fever broke around 7 p.m. so then I was able to help my Mom a bit. My Mom bathed both kids, got Kiera in her crib, and then rocked Blake to sleep. She was my hero last night!
Lately, I haven't been getting out of the house very much especially during the week. I'm really looking forward to Christmas and all the gatherings and the help I will have with our kids during that time. Plus, Jared is home for 10 days over Christmas and New Year's. WOOHOO!!!! I can hardly wait!!
Here is a picture of Blake I took a couple of days ago. As of last week Thursday at his doctor's appt., he was 9 lbs. 7 oz. and 22 inches long! He is healthy and growing quickly!
Here's a picture I took of Miss Blue Eyes after her bath last night (hence the interesting hair)

Such a beautiful family!
That is awesome that you have such a great family around to help you out. It is definitely more active with 2 kids in the house.
My goodness kiera has such beautiful eyes. I love the intense blue.
Nice pictures...Blake looks older than he is, very alert and bright eyed. And of course Kiera with her blue blue eyes! You almost don't notice her "after bath" hair! Love, Mom
