A big sister is made with the birth of a baby brother.

June 23rd was a BIG day for our family.
My son was born, Matthew Vernon Trunde, and my daughter became a BIG sister. We tried to prepare Ally as much as possible but what can you do but jump off the deep end with kids! She thought that babies came out ready to play and interact with each other. She got a bit of a rude surprise! A few days after bringing our family home if you asked her what she thought of her baby brother she would say he "eats, sleeps, cries and pukes!" in that order. Now when you ask her she says he's SO cute and that she loves her baby brother...just wait until she sees what they can really do!

It has only been six weeks and I can not believe what a difference my two children are. I know they say pregnancies are different, but that's not where it stops! Ally was fairly independent, laying down, being soothed by anyone, sleeping at night. Matt is the complete opposite! He wants to have nothing with lying down, anyone but me and he doesn't understand the concept of sleeping when the lights are off! We will see how long this lasts when I go back to work. Now we are trying to ween him from just me to bottle. So far so good.
