Tom at 31 days

We're finding Tom quite an easy baby so far. I had to look back in our journals to make a comparison with his big sister at this early date, and it seems that I was feeling a lot wearier when she was a month old than I am now. Not that Tommy's sleeping through the night or anything--far from it! It's possible that things are working well for us because we're now baby veterans, or it may just be that we don't have time to feel tired--Martha won't let us! Having two kids by the way is a lot of work, and while not especially difficult, it is tiring and non-stop. Sleep is the most important thing of course, and we are lucky (so far) in that Tom sleeps for at least some of each night. His being so large at birth may be on our side here.




Which brings up the fact that this blog really must become the Adventures of Tom and Martha, as big sis continues to create more news than young Thomas--so stay tuned for the change in upcoming weeks...


Here's Thomas out for his first restaurant meal, at Zza's. He wasn't a huge fan of the olive tapenade, so all the more for M!


We had a great visit with Uncle Chris and Auntie Rachel, and are still fielding Martha's daily questions: 'Where IS Rachel? Where Christine is?' It was great to have them here to read, make forts, and do puzzles with Martha while I fed Tom (currently in the never-stop-eating phase).
