Tinajero's: Flying Solo

So I've been flying solo for about a month now with these two kiddos. We've got a good routine down and everyday seems much the same. We haven't had a lot of warm weather here yet so we're still stuck inside. I think the hardest part is Levi getting bored at home. Adrian takes the car early in the morning so we're stuck inside and at home everyday.

Malachi is growing so fast. I think he is bigger than Levi was at this age. I'm working hard to get him on a schedule as far as eating every 2-3 hours and not snacking every hour. It's going well. I get up 1-2 times with him at night and I myself am getting about 6 hours of sleep a night. Malachi is such a good content baby. As long as his tummy's full he has nothing to complain about. He's already in his 0-3 month clothes, which all happen to be summer clothes so hopefully this weather gets warm soon.

Levi is such a good big brother. He is constantly giving Malachi hugs and kisses. Which I am jealous of because Levi never hugs me and I only get blown kisses. But I'll take what I can get!! Levi is good at sharing his toys with Malachi and used to try to share his snacks, but I think now he's heard me say enough times that Malachi only eats milk so he doesn't share food anymore. When Levi wants me to put Malachi down and play with him he'll tell me "baby night night". I think it's cute. Every now and then Levi will try to hit Malachi but I'm usually there to stop it. Levi did roll Malachi off the couch once and clawed his face up another time, but he is usually so good.

Adrian is studying hard for his upcoming boards in June. His life doesn't vary too much. I feel really good health wise. I have had mastitis 3 times, but I'm good now and hopefully can prevent another infection in the future. I am having a hard time keeping up with all the housework, but that's mainly because when Malachi sleeps I choose to play with Levi instead of clean.

Time is going fast and we're looking for a place to live in Utah. Adrian will be doing most of his rotations just north of Salt Lake so we're looking for a house in the Layton area. I'm excited to be going back to the Layton/Ogden area where we lived before. I wasn't too fond of the idea of living in a big polluted busy city like the Salt Lake area. And maybe it's not that bad there, but I'm just more excited to be going back to a familiar place.

These next pictures go way back before Malachi was born that I haven't posted yet.

Levi loves his books. He has started ripping out pages lately and even tearing entire books in half, all while I'm distracted with the baby.

Levi loves to play with Adrian's swim caps.

Levi wearing my dad's glasses while he was here. We could tell they made his sight funny by the way he walked while wearing them.

Levi ended up breaking the frame of his sunglasses and my dad's glasses as well.

Levi has loved fish for quite some time. When my parents came they brought the movie Finding Nemo, which he loves. He latched on to these Nemo fruit snacks at the store and wouldn't let go.
