It's Madness!

Life in our household right now can sometimes be described as pure madness. There are times when both girls are upset and in need of something and other times when Ryann is wreaking havoc all by herself. Scott and I spend a great deal of time protecting No. 2 from No.1. Ryann loves her sissy but she's a bit rough at times. She likes to kiss her, hug her, hold her on her lap, and occasionally throw in a head butt just to keep us all on our toes. What fun we have!

There are those rare occasions when Ryann and Avery nap at the same time. Those are the times that I decide between a nap of my own and a shower. Fortunately for Scott, I usually opt for the shower. When he's home, I can occasionally rest during the day. I'm still catching up from the last couple of weeks without much sleep. Avery is starting to get into a good sleeping pattern. She usually goes to sleep for the night around 11pm and we can usually sleep until 4:30 or so. Sometimes she can't make it that long but that's ok. Ryann is still a great sleeper. She goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm. We don't hear from her until 7am most mornings. It's nice to have some quiet time with Avery between 8 and 11pm. We try really hard not to make Ryann jealous of her sister. That makes it hard to spoil Avery too much while Ryann's awake, even though we want to.

Overall, life with two kids is more hectic but we adore our little girls. They are tons of fun.
