Joseph is still pretty relaxed, but he has started showing some sign of colic. He eats well, and sleeps as expected. He is still waking up every 2-3 hours at night. Seems so serious, but has has a few little smiles and giggles here and there. He is full of kisses from his brothers. He loves the bath and laying in the water.

My Mom came to help with all the boys after Joseph was born. What a help she was!!! I was so fortunate that she was able to stay over 2 weeks! SHe even got to go on some fun adventures to the rec center and Tiny Town with the boys! While she was here, we celebrated Isaac's 3rd birthday a few weeks early. He loved all of his gifts from Ga Ga Shaw! Thanks Mom!
After Joseph was born, Joe also took some time off to take boys out on some fun adventures. They went swimming at the local rec center with kids play area and water slides, went to Tiny Town, played in the fountain at the local farmer's market, ate yogurt at Bliss, and lots of playing in the new blow-up slide Daddy bought for the backyard. I think they felt pretty special getting to do all the fun stuff with dad!

Levi is now saying "Ma Ma" and "Da Da," but only on command. He doesn't say them in context when needed. He has done an amazing job with his little brother's arrival. He seems to be quite the caretaker. He wants to help change diapers, give kisses to stop from making noise or for no reason at all, and points to the chair when Momma should put him down to sleep.
He continues to teethe and is still getting his eye teeth. He has done a great job moving his crib into Isaac's room.
I swear when I got home from the hospital, he had gained 10 pounds. He has really filled out and has become pretty solid. I don't think that's its just that I have a newborn at home now, but I'm sure that's a big factor. He just seems so much bigger this month!

Isaac is almost 3 and this past month has been preparing for and the arrival of baby brother, Joseph. He has done an amazing job as big brother, and has welcomed Joseph with no jealousy. He also is now sharing his room with Levi, and has done a great job at that. Changes in new vehicles and carseat...and again, amazing job transitioning. So, even though there is the teasing of toys with Levi, or telling Mom or Dad, "No," he has gone trough a lot of change, he has done it with mostly without complaint. We have tried making it a big deal to be the "Biggest Brother" and he has gotten pretty spoiled with treats, toys, and activities...but all well deserved!
(By the time I got to actually publishing this post, some acting out and jealousy has occurred. A bit of regression in behavior like baby talk, whining, and peeing his pants have occurred. But not near has bad as when Levi was born.)
