My Little Chub-a-lub

• Wow! Days are just flying by!! Seth had his 2 month checkup on Monday (well, 9 1/2 weeks really). He weighs 11lbs 4 oz and is taking after his chubby older brothers quite nicely. He LOVES attention and will promptly reward us with huge smiles and ah-goos and gurgles. He's up to 6-8 hour stretches at night with one wake-up for feeding. I've pretty much mastered this sleep thing by now!!

• Not too much to report....Ben is about to turn 2 this Sunday. What we missed with Cal not having terrible 2s, Ben has decided to fill us in and then some! The kid is a terror. I say that semi-lightly...not so terrible as some toddlers I've seen but I like my children to be well-behaved MOST of the time and lately Ben barely ever is. No, I take that back, he's a perfect angel out in public (well except for his FUN screaming session at the grocery store today. He thought it was funny to see how long he could scream for...meaning at the top of his lungs until he ran out of breath). Other than the yelling, which happens mostly at home and mostly at the dinner table, we are also in the throw food/spitting milk phase. I can't wait for this to end! It's so annoying. I think mostly I haven't been able to nip these behaviors in the bud because I don't have time to! With Cal I could discipline and swiftly take care of problems. Now I sometimes just have to ignore them and move on just to get things done! Oh well...poor, poor middle child. I can see why you get super lenient on the last kid! By that point, you just don't care anymore...

• Cal is doing well. He's learning to write all his letters as he just recently demonstrated to me! I didn't even know. I guess preschool is doing its job :) He continues to be the best big brother there is!
