I can't believe that little Alex is one month old today! The weeks have flown by. He is doing great! At his 2 week checkup he was 7lb 8 oz, almost back to his birth weight. He seems so strong, always lifting up his head and turning it from side-to-side. Alex is definitely becoming a Momma's boy, I think he recognizes my voice and is content the moment he is in my arms! We've gotten better at changing a little boy's diaper. Mommy got a "Pee Guard" for Mother's Day after being sprayed quite a few times! Now that we know to point the "Tallywacker" down before putting on the diapers, the leaky diapers have pretty much stopped! He is still a sweet baby and cuddler and I just can't seem to get enough of him!
Olivia is still adjusting well to her little brother! The meltdowns have pretty much ended and she has started to ask for him and show concern when he is crying. The two of them pretty much wake up together every morning which can be hard on Mommy when both are crying for me. She has told me to "Put that boobie away Mommy!" when I am feeding him and she wants me to do something with her. Usually I try to read a book or something like that with her while I am feeding Alex. We talk about all the things she is going to teach Alex as his big sister. My favorite is when she says, "I'll teach him to eat cookies!" She has been a great helper and loves to help whenever she can. She enjoys bathing him and helping me put on his lotion. Of course she is very interested in the "twig and berry" region! She still enjoys holding Alex or having him lay next to her! I had a wonderful Mother's Day thanks to my kids, husband, and family!!

Loving the comment about her teaching him to eat cookies--that is VERY important, mind you. Glad you also got the changing a boy diaper thing down...I still get sprayed every now and again!
I was cracking up the entire time I was reading your post. I'm so glad that I have two girls and don't have to worry about the "Tallywhacker"!!
He is so adorable! You get used to the Tallywhacker sprays. You just learn to change diapers really fast. :)
