Here are some pictures of little Sterling. He is such a cutie.
Watching him has been going really well. It is actually better than I thought it would be. I was nervous about how working for friends would be, but from my side at least, it has been fine. It is definitley a lot of work and keeps me busy on the days he is here but I think it is worth the pay. I think they are getting really good care for him and I think the price is fair. For the situation to work out it is really important for me to feel that I am being paid a fair wage, and for them to feel they are paying a fair price. I think they do...I hope they do :0)
Reagan looks thrilled. She is not as content on her belly as Sterling. He has been rolling onto his tummy for quite a while now and is much more mobile than Rea.
I like that watching him makes me be more creative in playing with my own kids. I have to try a bit harder to entertain all 3 of them, thinking of new age appropriate games and keep Katya's TV time to a minimum. We have a lot of fun singing songs and reading books. I always talk about what we are doing and seeing, which is so good for babies development. And I am starting to sign more and more with the babies. Katya and I have been able to play in the backyard quite a bit while babies are sleeping, or with one of them awake. I can hear Sterling really well from our yard because our bedroom windows are right above us. I got the kids to the park for the first time on Tuesday. We just went to the closest little park, with Katya walking, Sterling in the stroller and Reagan in the Ergo. When we got to the park Sterling got really upset so I switched him and Reagan. We only stayed for about 15 minutes but better than nothing! It should be a little easier when we get a double baby jogger...someday.
The babies are so curious about each other!

From our side things are going great! We love having him right next door with you and he always seems really happy. I just wish he would sleep better for you!
