My ode to Crew turning 2 months

Crew will grow up thinking he was born in Alaska probably! I've never been much of a kid or baby person until i had my own. With Zax it was all so new and a blur while trying to adjust to the new life with a child. I'm sure i thought it was hard being sleep deprived. Then came Ila. Now that was hard. She was a wonderful baby, but having them two years apart was too close with having to still do everything for Zax and take care of a baby. I was overwhelmed.

And then came Crew! Now this is true sleep deprivation. The two demanding older siblings wake up early and they want breakfast no matter how much sleep i got or early it is. If it wasn't for my mom taking Zax and Ila to her house after Crew was born, i worry what may have happened to all of us! Lol!  

Now Ila and Zax are great helpers fetching me things i ask for and "mommy Ila" adores being a great helper.

Zax has surprised me and has firmly claimed Crew as his own. One day Zax was really bugging me by getting in the way while i was taking care of Crew so i said, "just go he's my baby!" I found Zax a couple minutes later crying and he said, "he's my baby too mom!" My sensitive little man.

These three!

Even though we've been in Elim for a week we are still living out of our suitcases till the water line is dug and finished at our new house. I'd been delaying trimming his nails till i found the baby clippers. I waited too long because the other day he took two chunks out of his forehead!

He has a wonderful temperament and cries when he's hungry, tired, or needs to be changed. Pretty easy to fix! Since i have virtually no responsibilities or life outside of my family i am really enjoying slowing down and spending more time with him than i did with my other two. 

Since i don't have a car, stores to shop at, friends, a job, or anywhere to go I'm forced to enjoy the small things whether i want to or not!
