Rahl Alexander
I can't believe it's already been a month since Rahl was born (or will be in four days). I knew that it wouldn't be easy taking care of a one year old and a newborn and it's not but it's also not as hard as I thought it would be either. Damon is a wonderful older brother and he seems to sense when I'm getting too tired and just need a break and then he goes to play in his room or visit with someone else in the house for a little while. That helps me more than I can explain and so does how supportive everyone is being. They always shower both boys with attention and are always so willing to help out whenever they think I need it, even if I don't ask for it. I really don't need it very much though, at least not as much as I thought I would.
Rahl is a very mellow baby. He's even calmer than Damon was so I have a feeling he'll be more like me once he gets older than Damon will end up being unless he changes for some reason as he grows. For now though, he really only cries when he's hungry or needs a diaper change. He loves his baths and sometimes fusses when he gets taken out of the water but it's not for long. Besides bath time, he also loves to cuddle. His eyes seem to light whenever he's held... or maybe that's just my imagination. I don't think it is though. He's the perfect child aside from his older brother and I love him more than words could ever express. I love to just hold him and watch him, especially when he sleeps. He's still so incredibly tiny that it just amazes me. I think maybe he gets that from Alex because Donovan isn't small and I'm definitely not either. Anyway, I love Rahl and I love Damon and I love being their mother. Life is.... perfect.
And as a side note, here is Damon's new Big Boy room since Rahl is in the nursery now.
