It's turn after your first child you can't keep up with all the cute things you want to do for them.
I haven't tried as hard as I could at it but life goes by so fast when you have more then one child to look after.
And every once in awhile I think "ugh man i'm behind again" =[
You sure can be hard on yourself when it comes to saving and making memories with your kids.
I did fairly decent with Isaac but looking back on things i'm so behind on things for Jackson.
I DO spend time with them both and that's important.
I take a good amount of pictures of Jackson and Isaac thanks to lovely cell phones but wish I had taken more expensive camera photos for both of them.
I took a lot of videos of Isaac but haven't taken many at ALL of Jackson.
I really need to do better at that.
And I took lots of holiday type photos of Isaac for each FIRST holiday but haven't really done that for Jackson.
I don't love him less but I want him to have as many memories he can look back on as Isaac does.
So here is to keeping up on saving memories of ALL of my children.
I also journaled weekly about Isaacs first year of life...but Jackson has become monthly.
The big difference is I've been through all the firsts (baby wise) with Isaac so they are amazing for Jackson but its not my first time seeing the firsts. It's different but doesn't mean it isn't as important or as exciting with each child after the first.
Parenting is complicated lol
I try to go through facebook/instagram/dropbox to save some of their pictures to my file folders of each of them so its easier to find....but I get SOOO behind and it takes way too long to catch up. I should of kept up on that. every time I think about it I kick myself (mentally not physically lol)
Updates: (i'm not sure how far behind I am but here it goes)
Isaac- He is now 21 months...getting so close to 2!!!
he is starting to repeat some of the words we say. And out of the blue he will say and word and it will shock me because I've never heard him say it out loud.
He climbs up on EVERYTHING and can open some of the doors.
He still loves going outside, and will run, or jump. He loves Jackson more and more.
He will sometimes grab and towel and start wiping things down and will sometimes say "clean up, clean up"
He likes to stand on chairs and help me cook or clean the dishes.
We are starting to do better at time outs now that we have a SPOT that's consistent.
Some nights he sleeps really well but he still slips into waking up 2-3 times at night, we never know what kind of night its going to be.
We are getting in to the kicking/hitting phase so we are trying to teach what is okay and what isnt
Jackson- He is 4 months old
He LOVES his feet
He LOVES standing up
And still chews on his fist
He has rolled from his tummy to his back once but for the most part when he is on his back rolls to his side so we are getting close
He gets up 2-3 times at night still, and i'm trying to get him to eat less at night,
He seems to like the outside as much as Isaac does
He still smiles A LOT but will occasionally have out of the blue screaming/crying moments....usually means he is hungry or sleepy or sometimes realizes he isn't with me.
My boys keep me very busy but they keep me laughing too. And thank heavens for a loving and helpful husband =]
