What's Goin' On With Us...

I haven't posted anything in a while. Guess life has just been a bit too busy and even though we are in constant motion, I don't really feel like I have anything very exciting to report. Wright seems to be having a bit of a run with the terrible twos over the past few weeks. Lots and lots and lots of whining and melting on the floor when he doesn't get his way. He knows he is being disobedient but he is just constantly testing the limits and trying to see what he can get away with. I am sure much of it comes from the recent life changes he has had. On a good note, he LOVES his baby brother and does not seem to connect that the hard time he is having is probably as a result of Spencer being born. So, he is constantly petting his baby's head and interested in what Spencer is doing. I have been working on teaching him that God wants us to have a happy spirit and joyful heart to try and help with the whining. I am not sure how much of this he understands, but I have started singing "I've got that joy joy joy down in my heart" and "If you're happy and you know it" when he is having a breakdown and it seems to at least distract him enough to help somewhat. We'll see... Spencer is such a good baby. He sleeps great when he is not waking up to eat (which is still a lot). We have had some on and off nights of long stretches between feedings so we are hoping that he is getting close to consistently making it 5-6 hours. The difference between getting up once vs twice a night is huge, so I will be very happy when he can go longer. Tomorrow he is 8 weeks old and I cannot believe it! Seems especially weird since he is so much more like a newborn than Wright was at this age.
