My growing family

Hello dear blog. Its been awhile.

Life has sure changed dramatically for our family in the last 6 months! First off I had our baby boy who is now 2 months old!

Zayne Callum Saber (which means God is gracious,  and his middle name means Sword of the Spirit). He is precious and his birth was absolutely perfect and easy.

Zoey still isn't quite sure what to think of him and mostly ignores him. She loves taking his pacifier and putting it into her own mouth. She tried to pick him up for the first time yesterday and freaked me out. She is jealous of her time with Mommy however, and wants on my lap everytime I breastfeed. I try to make space but can't always and then she runs away screaming or throws herself on the ground. I can hardly blame the poor girl she has been through a lot of change in these two months!

6 weeks ago we packed up and moved back to Idaho with our 3 week old and 18 month old. The trip wasn't too bad Zayne slept most of the way except for feeding stops every 3 hrs and poor Zoey threw quite a few fits. Thinking we already had an apt we thought the transition would be moderately easy but the nice apartment we had was not as nice as the pictures seemed to show. We ended up living with my parents and their 5 younger kids (my sibs) and two big labs (both sill puppies) for 5 weeks! It was not an easy stay and poor Zoeys things and toys were packed the whole time due to the dogs chewing problems. It was good to get to know my brothers and sisters again, but needless to say, I am so very grateful for our own place now.

Its hard enough adjusting to a new baby, raging hormones, and little sleep. Throw in the last 5 weeks and it was a rollercoaster of constant emotions!

So with Zoey's little fits and tantrums right now I'm kind of letting them go, realizing this poor toddler has no clue why her world keeps changing.
