Sean-two months

I guess what everyone says is true about the second child. I haven't blogged since he was born!  Yikes!  So..here's a quick rundown.  Sean is two months now and weighs 11 pounds, 2 oz. Almost twice his birthweight!  Yeah!  He sleeps for about five hours at a time in the night now..sheeew!  He is a fussy-go-to-sleep-baby, meaning he cries almost everytime he is on the verge of going to sleep, no matter what we try!  He eats about 7 times a day now.  He is smiling lots and cooing lots too!  His eyes sparkle and are still blue.  He loves the song, "if you're happy and you know it..."  He had jaundice after birth, but did not need the billi blanket because his output was good and he didn't have as high of levels as Kyle.  He does have a slight hernia near the belly button that they are watching.  Besides that,  so far, so good!
Kyle, the big brother....took some time to adjust.  He was not so sure about the situation and didn't want anything to do with his mom the first few days.  When I asked if he wanted to go to the market, just him and I, he was so ecstatic!  He held my hand the wholleeee way there and held his head so high!  He said, "mom, I love you so much!"  I'll never forget it.  He didn't go near Sean much the first few weeks.  Now, though, he gives him kisses, rocks him in his car seat or bouncer (even without me asking), he talks to him more...but he still isn't into holding him.  He likes helping Adam feed him a bottle and tells me when Sean's crying, "mom, he needs a diaper change" or "mom, he needs to be burped".  Too cute.  One time, when Graham-ma was over and Sean was crying, Kyle said to her, "you need to feed him a bottle" and "he needs his diaper changed".  He sure is observant!  Kyle enjoys helping to do the dishes (more so to play with the water), paint, color, play board games, and ride his bike with training wheels.  He picked it up pretty quickly, but likes to put on the brakes a lot (yeah, we don't get far down the street).  He doesn't like going to bed (it takes him awhile to fall asleep), he has become a picky eater lately, and is testy at times with his words (like "I don't like you" or "that's not fair").  He still LOVES playing the drums, Mary Poppins, listening to all kinds of music, and playing with his stuffed animals.
Here's some pics...Kyle eating his first Magnum bar! (they finally brought them to the USA!)
