The New Wiseman Family of Four

I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since little Adam joined our family. Things have been going great for us. Adam's really only been waking up once or twice at night. It's been awesome! He's been SO chill so far. He sleeps most of the day and night. Usually around 8ish - he has his alertness time of day - but he never really cries, he just looks around, trying to see things. We've definitely learned to appreciate this stage A LOT more this time around.

Livy has been so awesome with him. She loves to hold him and is always worried about what he's doing - especially when she goes down for her nap. When we've been putting her down lately - she'll ask us what Mommy, Daddy, and Adam are doing - to which I reply - everyone is taking a nap, too! She's then pleased with my answer and goes right down. It's so funny. So far, the hardest part for me has been not being able to spend one on one time with Livers. Hopefully, soon I'll get a handle on being able to divide my attention equally between these cute little ones.

Anyway, here are some cute pics that we've taken over the past couple weeks. Adam is already starting to look different - it's crazy.

Here are pics from his very first bath at home:

Okay I blurred out his little penis, but don't you love Matt's expression here? He's like - wait, what? I'm not use to this! We've also learned our lesson on moving too slowly during his diaper changes. We've been peed and pooped on about 10 times since he's gotten home. Thankfully, my friend introduced us to pee pee teepees! Thank you, Raquel!

I love this one because of Livy's "helping hand." She loves to be a part of all things dealing with Adam. I'm happy she's that way. We let her be as involved as possible so she doesn't focus on attention she might be losing.

He's just so cute!

Classic Livy Attitude Face


Here are some randoms:

"Nana" and her two grand babies. I love how Livy is showing her how to play bubbles...

Matt with our two babies. Yes, it is still so weird to us that we're a family of four.

How awesome is this little outfit!?! Unfortunately, he only got to wear it once - we tried it on him again yesterday and he had grown out of it! What!?!

She loves holding her brother, "Ayam." We've been working on getting her to pronounce the D.

And here we have the classic Matthew glare that both kids have inherited! He is constantly glaring at us! It's so funny. I'm going to be seeing this look from Matt and my babies for the rest of my life...

Here's Livy - again involved in everything. She especially loves to help out with diaper changes - mainly because she tries to sneak the Desitin away so she can hide it and then rub it all over herself when she's all alone.

Gabrielle holding cute little Adam.

She likes us to swaddle her babies just like we swaddle Adam. Also, it's been hilarious teaching her about breast feeding. She'll point to my chest and say milk and I'll say - yep - Adam's milk. And then she'll lift her shirt up and point and say milk! Then I had to explain that only mommies have milk, she still refuses to accept that. I'm just waiting to catch her trying to "feed" her babies...

Livy's been loving her visitors:

Here she is with Gabrielle - her favorite cousin!

Max!

Livy loved having Grandma "Shewwie" over. It was hilarious. She would only refer to her as Shewwie. She loved the constant attention.

Adam's first legit bath!

This little thing fell off way sooner than Livy's did and so of course we had to document the big event.

He definitely enjoyed this type of bath much more than the sponge bath! He's like Livy, she loved to have hot water - not just warm. Once he was dipped into his own little hot tub - he was perfectly content.

Cute little bugger!
