First giggles!

Well, not a whole lot has happened since my last blog post, but I feel the need to do a post so I don't get too far behind:). Both Nathan and Adam were a bit off last week, so the great nights we'd been having with Nathan turned into just okay nights. He actually needed to eat twice not last night but the night before, which was frustrating since that is not the direction we are trying to go with night feedings! I'm guessing we won't be able to eliminate the night feeding until he's on cereal. He started giggling this week! On his three month birthday he blessed us with chuckling for the first time - so cute! He is such a sweet little boy:).

Now that Adam seems to be feeling better, he has been really chatty the last few days! It was a busy week and we had a lot of visitors (Becky and Gordie were in town so we got to spend some time with them). Visitors to our house really stress Adam out, but by the end of the week, he was handling it much better! Brian and I actually got to have our first date night since Nathan was born on Thursday, and we were really worried about how he would do. He screamed and had a half hour tantrum when Coraleah got there, and I was not optimistic about how he would do at this point. We had him calmed down pretty well by the time we left, but he still looked stressed. I got a text 45 minutes after we left saying that he was doing GREAT - what a relief! I think sometimes I don't give him enough credit for knowing what's going on, and he has been showing some signs lately that he is able to cope a bit better with his stress these days. He is still impulsive and still feels the need to throw things on the floor at mealtimes and down the stairs when he gets mad (that drives me CRAZY!) but overall, I would say he is gaining some coping skills.
