[QUOTE=Sarahfeena] She seems OK with him so far…she says “that baby is my little brother Josh.” It’s very cute. But last night she kept telling me to “put the baby DOWN!” I suppose she will need some time to adjust! 🙂 [/QUOTE] Aw. A tip: The football hold for nursing is really great with another Little, 'cause then you have your other side free to snuggle and read a book while you nurse! ---

Congratulations to you and the whole family! And a wise choice of name - now he has something in common with most of his first grade class. 😉 Regards, Shodan ---

Welcome Joshua! Some friendly advice: I was told to not say, “I can’t do X because I’m holding/feding the baby” to my toddler. I was told to say, “I can’t do X–see, my hands are full”. And the football hold is great, too. Dunno if it helped or not, but life was mostly peaceful. (my daughter was 27 months when lil bro came along) ---

[QUOTE=Shodan] Congratulations to you and the whole family! And a wise choice of name - now he has something in common with most of his first grade class. 😉 Regards, Shodan [/QUOTE] Oh, geez, I know it’s a very trendy name right now. I like the classic names, though, so he would have gotten a name like that even if it wasn’t trendy! I swear! 🙂 Thanks for all the kind well-wishes and advice!
