Soooo.... It's been a while, hasn't it?

I have been thinking about keeping track of things on this and realized I am terrible at doing it!  So, I have new resolve to make sure I at least write a few times a week.  Sooooooo... what's happened since our last update?

Well, we had a new addition to the family.  On April 3, 2012 at 9:05PM, we welcomed Andrew James Kuschner.  You often hear how each child is different and boy is it true!  Sean was a good sleeper from almost the beginning but not much of an eater.  That was evidenced by the fact that he never got above 25% in weight (and he had reflux so he was a projectile spitter!).  Andrew, contrary to this, LOVES to eat.  At 4 months, he is still waking once in the middle of the night to eat.  I think we have our left tackle to protect big brother!

Things keep rolling along in our household.  We are in the midst of the "terrible twos" and are awaiting the beginning of the threes - I hear it's just as bad!  Sean is definitely my kid - willful, obstinate, stubborn and temperamental.  I love him!  We are also just waiting to see who Andrew is going to be.  Right now, he smiles all the time (unless he's tired, hungry, or dirty) and is discovering himself - hands, feet, mouth, legs, everything.  He's "talking" a lot, too - not surprisingly since we ALL talk ALL the time! 

Andrew - love the cheeks!

Sean - fearless climber!
I just want to try to savor this time and remember how they are at this stage.  I don't want to wish it away!
