It's amazing how different your infant experiences can be when you have multiple children. Grace is such a blessing and joy in our life but she was not an easy baby. And to be honest, still is quite the challenge, just in different ways. As an infant she was colicky, difficult to soothe and a finicky sleeper. Samuel on the other hand is my dream baby. He gets fussy from time to time and can occasionally be difficult to get to sleep but nothing more than the average baby. Overall he whimpers instead of cries. I have yet to hear this little man really test out his lungs. The worst so far would have to be his grunting as he shifts in and out of sleep, which is worse in the wee hours of the morning while I'm still trying to catch some Z's. But if this is the worst of it...I'll take it. Scott keeps trying to remind me that Grace was good up until this point and then got colicky, arguing that we are not in the clear yet. Let's just say our memory of events usually don't coincide. We'll see how the the coming weeks and months pan out, but I think Samuel overall is gonna be much more even tempered than his older sis. He'll soon be 8 weeks old, and is growing at record speed, weighing in at just over 11 lbs this week. Here are a few new photos.
