Two kids

The transition to two kids...so far...isn't as scary as I anticipated. Lilia is a challenge when Alex is within reach. I'm constantly telling her, "No, don't touch his eye," "Be gentle," and "Not so hard. See he's telling you he doesn't like that."
It's frustrating, but I know she loves him. She just has no idea how to show an infant love. We're trying to be patient and understanding, but also set firm limits.
Alex is a dream so far. He's so pleasant and easy. I have to wake him up to feed him every time he eats. He sleeps really well. When he's awake, which isn't often, he's great.
Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly exhausted. I wish I got more sleep than 6 hrs a night. We're doing good though.
