It's hard to be the big sister sometimes but Abi gives it a good try

January 2017

Having younger siblings has been a small adjustment for Abi. Overall, her attitude toward the babies has ranged between sweet and uninterested. Once she became interested in them, she showed it by imitating them.

These next few pictures show you what exhaustion looks like in our family...

Abi zonked!

There's even a little drool

I found Hyrum asleep like this one day... apparently Abi thought he needed all his toys in order to sleep. What a nice big sister!

Lots of toys

Abi was so excited to open a package one day which I knew contained blankets for the babies made by a good friend but we were both surprised that the first blanket we pulled out was a new one for Abi! She was thrilled!

My "babies"

Abi has hated strollers for a while now but suddenly, they are in style again. I wonder why? :)

Strollers are cool

Loving on the babies

One day, Abi threw a fit and laid on the babies' floor mat to sulk. After a while, I went to check on her because it had been a while since she had made much noise or movement...

She's been there a while...

...I couldn't believe it when I found her asleep!!! Yes, we are all exhausted here in this house. I do feel bad that whenever anyone asks how we're doing, I can only reply with, "Exhausted!" But truly, that's the only answer that answers the questions fully.

Yep, she's asleep

Abi and I got to snuggle so much while I was pregnant and now with two babies to occupy my lap, this is a rare treat that we were both happy to enjoy!

Helping Mommy is exhausting
