Jack and Julianne in the morning

So recently, I have taken on a new adventure of watching my friends little boy Jack(3m old), while she goes to work! I'm so glad I was able to help her and feel very honored to watch her little one. He is a very good baby and only fusses' when hungry, tired, gassy, or needs a diaper change, isn't that with all babies!! But our days seem to vary, sometimes I'll have them on the same schedule -both will be napping at the same time (at least an hr)or one will be eating while the other is sleeping, so every minute of the day is precious, especially when they are BOTH asleep!! But so far it has gone smoothly. Julianne is more self sufficient and independent, I have weaned her, so she is eating and drinking all by herself, except spoon feeding. I nursed her for little over year and felt it was worth every struggle(cup feeding, syringe/tubing method, frenulectomy, mastitis, engorgement, and pumping)! I recently saw one of the nurses (Mother/baby unit)and she said your the Girl that really wanted to BF, that's how she remembered me, I was on a lot of drugs and stubborn! But Julianne hasn't shown much jealousy towards Jack, sometimes she'll lay her head on my knee while I'm giving Jack his bottle and I will set her beside us so she can be by us and she's always curious of Jack. Sometimes she'll wake up in the mornings and point to the door and say baby and even tries to say baby Ack (Jack). Jack also enjoys watching Julianne and the noises she makes (screaming)! We have also been able to enjoy the great outdoors with a few walks , I put Jack in the stroller and Julianne strapped on my back or we push Julianne and Jack in the red wagon with Jack sitting in the carseat, they both seem to enjoy it and its always refreshing to get outside. But having two babies is a lot of work, so NO I'm not ready for another baby of my own!!!

Jack is quite a cutie! I imagine there are some challenging parts of spending your entire day with little ones, but what a reward! I bet Jack's mom is very grateful to know that he is being loved all day while she is at work. Julianne is growing so much and just absolutely beautiful. I see a lot of Jamie in her, but she is still a great mix of both her parents. Thanks for putting new pictures up!
