J is 5 months old now and wow things are great. She's in a routine, she's happy, she's sleeping through the night. She's a thumb sucker so that really helps as she can always find her thumb to sooth her when needed!!
N is warming up to J to. I have this vision of them being best friends when their older, but right now my 3 year old needs a playmate and sometimes she doesn't understand that she needs to be gentle! But she loves climbing into her crib in the morning and laying down next to her or bringing her princess dolls in with her and playing with them for J. And J ADORES her. Oh my gosh I can't even feed her with N is in the room because J just wants to watch her big sister! She loves watching her play, and gives HUGE smiles to her sister!
It is still a bit complicated playing with both kids though. N is older and wants me to play with her all the time. On the weekends she has trouble occupying herself when I have to feed J or change her. She's getting better at playing on her own though. When we all play together sometimes she gets mad when J touches one of her toys or grabs for something. I think it will be even more frustrating for N when J is crawling around and into everything of hers! But we'll cross that bridge when we get there!
