*Disclaimer: I started this post, including the title, over a week ago. That pretty much sums up the major impact tiny Wesley has had on this mama-everything is taking a loooot longer or not getting done at all.
I don't agree with what lots of people told me about going from 1 child to 2-"4x the work". Yet. That's likely because the newest addition is still a snuggly, sleepy newborn. And also I don't feel as crazy this time around. Natural I suppose. But down time is kind of at a premium, I will admit. So with the elder child at grandma's house today and the younger soundly snoring into my chest, I'm taking this moment to post a few pictures and video of our first days as a family of 4:

I don't believe those first smiles are "gas" or involuntary muscle spasms or something. You won't think so either after seeing the following photo shoot. My baby is cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

| I made these! With sticks! From my yard! And before anyone gets too impressed, know it took me almost 3 weeks to do them and they will be up til May. |

| I participated in a cookie exchange this year. I'm not a baker however. Max wanted to do cookies he could decorate. These little beauties took 3 days between chilling dough, baking, cutting out, decorating etc. Thank you to my MIL Gloria for helping decorate or they'd still be in process. Oh, and the 6 dozen cookies obtained during said cookie exchange? Gone. Consumed by me and husband in a record 2 days. Gross. I know. |
This speaks for itself.
