Matthew playing with sidewalk chalk

We haven't been venturing out into the world much since Anna has been born. She is still so small and Scott has been back in the states for a few days. So entertaining Matthew at home is getting tricky. I'm keeping a list of some of the activities we did at and around the house so when I'm having a desperate afternoon I can refer to it. Hopefully that will keep my head from exploding. His favorite thing lately is writing with dry erase markers on the white board. I think he likes it 'cause he must be closely monitored by an adult while doing it. He needs and wants the attention. Poor guy. My mom has been helping so much...playing with him, taking him on walks, reading him stories, feeding him and putting him to sleep...and Matthew loves it. I think it will be a shock for all of us when she has to leave. Aaah!

As for Anna, she has been keeping the washer and dryer going almost non-stop! :) I've had to wash the sheets on our bed a few extra times due to some diaper changes gone horribly wrong! She is only 12 days old and has already regained her birth weight plus a pound! She is filling out. :) That's what we like to see. She is still pretty mellow and a really good sleeper at night. She wakes up every three hours or so, but after she eats, she goes right back to sleep. She's not as fussy as Matthew was as a newborn, so that's nice. I've actually been getting a lot of sleep since she's been born. I'll enjoy it now, 'cause who knows if it will last. Here are some pics of our "holed up in the house" days.

Anna calm and relaxed for the moment

Bath time...how we love it!
The rage...OH the rage!

Even the memory of bath time is haunting...
