Family of 4

We have been adjusting to our new arrival. It has been interesting to see the family dynamic change. Camden continues to love and adore his little brother. Just this morning he gave him kisses on his feet before leaving.

Carsten is happy most of the time. He has a bad diaper rash, so he HATES dirty diapers. It also seems that he has a blocked tear duct in one eye. This is very common among infants and goes away on it own.

I have been adjusting to being a mom of 2, and have decided a schedule is needed to make sure I do what needs to be done. So on Mon, Wed, and Fri, Camden and I work for about an hour on preschool activities, play outside and spend time together. It has really helped to reduce Camden’s acting out behaviors. I have had a lot of help from the moms! My mom was here right after the birth for about a week, and then Mark’s mom has been coming over to help me with both boys!

Mark is SUPERDAD! He only took 2 days off of work, but he has been able to bond with Carsten. He and Camden are best buds and do a lot together, especially in the backyard.

I have added some updated pics of Carsten to his album and created a new Big Brother album for Camden. Be sure to check out some of the very cute things Camden has been doing with all the baby toys out again.
