So it has been one full month since I had Nolan. Life has been, let's say, hectic. We've had to adjust to having a little one at home - which in the beginning was scary to me...but turned out to be okay. It just results in making sure that the boys (Haydn and Daniel) understand what they can and cannot do...because they are crazy and will definitely test the waters. 


Nolan has adjusted well to being home as well. The first 2 weeks he gained, literally, 2 lbs. I'm sure he's larger than I think he is now, but I haven't had a chance to get to support group in the last week or so. We are going on Friday, so we'll see how much this chubby boy has gained. He's filling out SOME 3-6 month clothes already! Oy! And I thought he wouldn't fit anything that we had for him. Boy was I wrong! 


Haydn has sprouted up tremendously in the last 6 months. A friend of mine brought some size 4 clothes for him (which saved us some $$) and a few pairs of shoes, and a pair of boots. Def. saves money for us because now he doesn't need much for winter, if anything at all. He has gone through a not-sleeping-in-my-bed phase, in which he ended up screaming in terror for nights on end. I finally made a bed for him on our floor and slowly got him into his bed (which is now in with Nolan, and he's okay with that - for now!) Nolan is in bassinet in our room, so I'm sure we'll come up with some issues when Nolan finally is in his crib! At least Haydn is going to sleep in his bed, on his own now though. I was getting tired and not getting anything done by sitting on his floor in his room for what seemed like FOREVER! 


My biggie Danny is growing like a weed! He's fitting in 3t shirts (because he's bulky) and 2t pants. Top percentile in his height, weight, and off the charts with his head measurements. Oy! He's definitely going to be our football player, I think. He's getting over some teeth coming in I think. We had a few restless nights (or weeks) with him up and down. I think that may have been the final straw with Haydn, and then Haydn ended up having a bad dream and wanted out of that room. Anyway, Danny is going through the testing stage. He's trying anything and everything he can, to see what he can get away with! He also is talking ALOT more (and I think he knows more than he's showing). He's saying words that I never knew he could say...cup, car, Haydn, etc. It's AMAZING! He picked up the word 'BABY' really fast and is always looking for Nolan. It's really sweet.


Overall, the first month was hectic, but I wouldn't change anything. There were alot of tears, not alot of sleep, but definitely ALOT of love going around. I'm amazed everyday at my boys...all 3 of them, and I'm thankful that I get to be their mommy!
