He does actually open his eyes

Here is a picture of Ian with his eyes OPEN. It does actually happen once in a while.

Just a wee update

Well, Ian is now 3 weeks old. He is doing very well. Still only wakes once per night. He still sleeps alot during the day, but is starting to stay awake a little more. His big brother sure loves him alot. As soon as Ian makes any sort of noise, Devin is right there checking him out. And Devin..............hmmmmmm.................. I think he's starting into the terrible 2's. Tho its not too bad yet. He really has a mind of his own. But he is such a sweety. He's talking quite a bit and quite clear, and understands everything you say to him. Half the time you have to spell things out if you don't want him to know what you are saying. He loves to play outside, and loves to be out at grandma and grandpa Rosenthal's riding around on the tractor or any other machine that moves. He is just going to love living out there.
I sure love those 2 little grandson's of mine. Take care all and will update soon.

A little update

Hello to everyone - well, everything seems to be going pretty good (touch wood). Ian seems to have settled in quite nicely. Seems to be very content so far, and sleeps well at night, come to think of it, sleeps well during the day - as you will see in the pics below. I have very few pictures of him with his eyes open. We went to visit Carrie, Ben and Ella yesterday, and I have some pics below of the 2 wee ones and then the four little ones. We had a good time and little Ella is a sweety. Very bright, alert and strong. Ian has a tendancy to be laid back, and sleepy hahaha. I spent most of the last week and a half with the Rosenthal family, and now coming home has been tough. I miss them alot. Devin is such a live wire, and I really miss his smile, laugh, and the cute way he says things. Come to think of it, I miss everything........... :( Oh well, I will survive.

Below are a few pics of the kids or maybe above, I never know which way they are going to turn out, so bear with me please. Anyway, will keep updating the blog whenever I can.

Bye for now

Name

Well, Jodi and Jason decided to name their new son Ian Lucas Rosenthal. His big brother sure loves him. Jodi and Ian came home on Tuesday. She was pretty stiff and sore, but was quite a bit better today. The little man seems to be doing quite well, tho I don't want to jinx it. He eats very good and sleeps pretty good at night. Tho he seems to like to be awake from around midnight until about 2 but then sleeps straight through until around 6 or 7. This morning he was awake around 7. So that was a good sleep from 2-7, but then he wakes up hungry as a horse hahaha. He sure loves to be held too. If you get him to sleep and then lay him down, within 5 min. he's awake fussing, so you pick him up and back to sleep he goes. He's pretty funny. Devin is doing good, even tho this new baby thing has turned his little world upside down. He seems to be coping with it fairly well. He really loves to hold Ian, and every time he cries he runs over to him and rubs his hair. So hopefully this will continue. Anyway, I came home today to let the kids have some alone time. Will go back in tomorrow and will see how it goes from there. Catch up with all real soon.
