Colic and Crazy!!

This summer has been too short and yet some days seem to go on forever. Marcus is suffering from Colic, and so feels the need to cry a ton, and sleep very little during the day and not well in the night.

It is proving a little tough to keep Cassie happy and moving when Marcus demands so much holding and rocking and just general attention. Often my little lady is having to be very patient while Mommy yet again feeds, rocks and sings to Marcus in the hopes he will be happy.

That being said, Marcus is wonderful addition to the family as we know this too will pass, and since he started smiling a couple of weeks ago, I will do anything to get that sideways grin and hint of a dimple he has going on.

It is also wonderful to not have to worry about him growing, as he is already over 12lbs and eating like he may never see another meal - it is hard to say who he resembles in this more, Mike or Uncle Devon.

Today was filled with sunshine, and a pool party in the back yard. Cassie has her best friend K, who is a cute, slightly older man that loves a good splash and can't wait for Cassie to come out and play - as I said to his Mom today, thank goodness we like each other, given the kids want to be together 24/7

Well fingers crossed for another couple of weeks of sun, and hopefully Marcus will stop crying long enough for me to get some photos of them outside enjoying the remaining sunny days.

A Shocking Post from the Lady who Never Blogs!

August 2010 - Cassie in the bouncy castle at the Farmer's Market. This is a relatively new thing - liking bouncy toys, and she was flinging herself around for an hour with Cyrus while the two little boys looked on. Teris was chewing everything he could get his teeth into and Marcus was hanging around in the Ergo watching the world go by.

It's hard to believe we already have an almost 2 month old son, and that summer is already drawing to a close. Time flys when you are having fun.

I am spending as much time outside with the munchkins as I can while trying to also fit in some cleaning and organizing of the house. It would probably be called Spring cleaning, but considering I was working, largely pregnant and on bed rest for a while, our spring cleaning migrated to the late summer.

Marcus is getting big, coming home at 7.8lbs and getting right into double digits with 11.8lbs by week 4. At this point I would imagine he is over the 12lb mark. He is eating great, sleeping okay and keeping me on my toes with a touch of colic. Fingers crossed the worse will be over in another couple of weeks.
