August News!




Life is going wonderfully and I am happy to say that Madeleine is sleeping so well now! She wakes up once in the night and then again at 7 which isn't too bad since Jacob wakes up at that time anyway. I find that as long as I go to bed at the same time as she, I don't require a nap and have more energy than I thought I would (although I'm sure I'll need one occasionally!). Jacob, as I said before, has adjusted to her very well and never has shown signs of jealousy, although he is exhibiting all the usual business and sass of a two-year old!
We had our first family outing last Saturday and went to Dinosaur World, a park about an hour away, that has an outdoor exhibit of 100 life-sized dinosaurs. Jacob was fascinated and frightened at the same time and wanted Matt to carry him most of the time, but was unusually confident when we saw the T-rex! Probably because he watches a "Little Einsteins" episode where the T-rex is nice. Something he will discover is wrong with time!
We hope everyone is well and happy and enjoying the last weeks of the summer! I can't believe how fast this year has flown!
