A Whole New World

To say our world has changed is an understatement. We got home late Friday morning and Mollie was so happy to have all of us home. She loves being a big sister and is so good at it. Her job is to give Cy his Binky when he's fussy, help with changing his diapers and likes to pick out his clothes. She also likes to cover him up but we have to make sure she doesn't cover his head. John and I were really worried about how she would do with Cy home but she has surprised us yet again with how well she has adapted to the change.
Our first night was an adventure to say the least. I fed Cy around 9:45, and John went on to bed since he was going to take night duty. Well Cy decided that he didn't want to sleep around 11 so John got up with him. He was up with him till @2:15 (crying most of this time) and I got up to help out. We finally got Cy asleep in his swing in the living room and John and I were just about to fall asleep and Mollie woke up screeching. We both go into her room and her whole bottom half of her bed was soaking wet, as was she. We think she had a sippy cup with water and it opened up and got all over her. Well we went to try and find her sheets and had no idea where they were so she ended up in bed with John. Of course, right when we got her changed and calmed down, Cy woke up. So, around 3:30 in the morning all 4 of us are up and both kids are bright eyed and ready to party. Mollie wanted to do her puzzle (which we let her do) then she and John went back to our room to sleep. I was in the living room with Cy and he was up off and on till 5:00 when it was time to eat. He finally went down around 6:30 yesterday morning.
However, we kept him stimulated all yesterday by putting him in the swing, talking to him or putting him on the play mat that Mollie had. To say that last night went smoother is an understatement. Mollie slept through the night but Cy didn't want to sleep in his crib so I slept on the couch with him till about 2:30 then John took the second half of the night with him.
Cy's eating 1.5-2 ounces every 3 1/2 to 4 hours. We've been working on getting him on a schedule since we were in the hospital and it's starting to get there which is good for his metabolism. He loves to look around and has already started to pick up his head! He loves Mollie and loves to stare at her and she returns the gesture every chance she can.
We're still working on potty training with Mollie but she's getting there. She's tee-teed a few times and even pooped once while she was staying with my parents. We know the chances of her regressing are high with Cy here but we're hoping now that the change has taken affect, we can get her more comfortable and we'll be done with pull-ups with her before we know it.
I took this video this morning of Cy. He was sleeping on his play mat and had the hiccups (which are too cute) and thought you all might enjoy it. He also does something new in the video but you'll have to watch in order to see what it is! :)
