Almost 4 months - My life with three children

Time flies with three children! How is it that I just found time to write this out and Elle is almost four months old? INSANITY is why!

Both Elle and Matheson are currently napping. Nick is at an all day interview and Tristan is at school. It's rare that I have time to myself anymore. 

Nick started calling our daughter, Elle Belle and it has stuck. She is the most darling baby. She's happy and quiet. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going. I felt both boys needed strict routines and if there was kink in the routine, the whole day was off. I have been more lax this time around simply because I am so busy and Miss Elle goes right along with the flow. She enjoys walks to the park with her brother. She won't sleep on the walk as there is just so much to see. She has a ton of dark brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. She is currently wearing 6 months clothes proving that it's the Norstrom gene that creates these BIG babies. 

Elle is such a part of the family already, I can't imagine her not being apart of it. All things happen for a reason. 

Matheson had a hard adjustment when we brought home his little sister. He stopped napping for 3 months and needed Melatonin to go to sleep at night. The whining and crying all day was too much some days, but he eventually came around right around the time Elle turned three months. Tristan is the best big brother to both. He will hold and feed Elle and play with Matheson. Tristan is making good grades even though he is dyslexic and has ADHD. No one works harder than him. It is the grit that will make him successful in life. That I am sure of. Matheson started speech therapy a few weeks ago. He is behind in talking and an evaluation proved him to be in the 1% for his age. We bring him 2x per day for 30 minute sessions. 

Nick lost his job end of June 2020 and hasn't found one yet, but it has been a blessing in disguise as I needed him home. With a pandemic and not able to really go anywhere, being home 24/7 has tested me in ways I never imagined. But I am lucky I married a wonderful man that is a great father and takes care of us. Nick has had a few interviews with three companies that we are hoping he receives an offer from one of them soon. Two are in Houston and one in New York. We have a whole life with friends and family here, but there is something in me that would love to move to another state, another climate, something new and exciting! Hopefully, something pulls through before the end of the year.
