I know, hard to believe that these 2 sweet faces could be so crazy. :P But I promise you, sometimes they really are.
I need to come up with a trick to get it to stop, or at least tone it down a bit. If they are fighting over a toy/game/etc... then I take it away. But half the time it all happens when I'm nursing Cohen and they are up in their playroom and I don't know who did what. It's pretty frustrating...Does anyone have any tricks they'd like to share??
I do have some good news, too... Cohen is officially off the lights. Yay!! They are packed up and awaiting pick up from home health. After his bilirubin was once again pretty much the same number yesterday as it's been for the last week, I called Cohen's doctor and he said it's probably just because I'm breastfeeding. He's old enough now (2 weeks today) that he can probably handle it on his own. Just one more heel prick tomorrow morning to make sure his level doesn't jump up and then we are good to go. What a relief...
I can finally just enjoy him without the added stress.
Had to include this silly face by Scarlett... she is so expressive, it's pretty funny. Her latest little trick is mimicking Cohen's noises. She gets such a kick out of it and we laugh too so you know she enjoys the attention. ;)

My two cents is to tell the little ones that if you hear them fighting then both get a time out or whatever, regardless of who did what (like when you can't see them). Maybe it would work?
they are still SO cute. It's hard to deal with 2 kids when you are taking care of a new born and yet still recovering!!! Hang in there :)
I"m so happy to hear that the lights may be on their way out. Yay!
As for the fighting, it is an ongoing battle. When possible, I tried to get both sides of the story. When that couldn't happen, it was "cool down" time and off to their rooms they went. Sometimes (don't yell at me) I'd just let them fight it out until they figured it out themselves. It sounds mean, but there were times when they had to get it all out.
Hi Megan, just checking up on your blog. Congratulations on the new baby! I am so happy for you. There is nothing quite like a newborn.
You did an amazing job on Cohen's newborn pictures. They are perfect. Very nice work. Was that natural light or do you have studio lighting? They are gorgeous.
Congrats on baby Cohen!! He is too cute!! He is a Sonnenberg! His little looks fit right in with the family, how fun!
Thanks for the thoughts on the fighting! I'm going to try a few things and see what works best with them. I'm determined to rein them in a bit.
Lillian - it was all natural light... I just positioned myself right in front of some big windows I have in my living room. :) My setup is not very fancy!
