It is a good illustration of life with a newborn and 3 year old that I have only made 2 posts in the last month here on the site when I typically do 2-3 a week. Things are well with the caveat of "well" as in what you expect with a newborn, even a very calm one, and a 3 year old, especially a very active one. Last night I was up from 1:30-5:00 with Ava. She was not crying or fussy, but she got her main waking period of about 4 hours aligned with our night time. It is just how it is sometimes.
Jacob also got up last night around 2:00 AM which is reflective of his hyper metabolism and activity level. I was feeding Ava, and as he came into the living room rubbing his eyes I just motioned to our bedroom and said "Go get Mommy". Shannon laid down with him for about a minute or two and he was back a sleep.
A funny story. We got Jacob down around 8:30 PM last night. Later, we are in the living room around 10:00 PM and we hear a loud thump come from Jacob's room. After a moment, Shannon said "it sounded like he fell out of bed but that can't be it because I don't hear any crying." I went in his room and sure enough he was on the floor still sleeping. When he sleeps, he sleeps. When he doesn't, which is most of the time, he really doesn't.
We got professional pictures made of Ava a few weeks back, and I will put some of them out on the site this week. Heck, I might even do it at 3:00 AM tonight if I am up, but I hope not.
