Second Child Syndrome

I never believed the rumors of the neglected second child. How could we not pay as much attention to our sweet little Jake as we did Lukas? Answer-LUKAS. It is so hard to give a second little baby as much attention as you did your first when there is another little person running around the house. It is nearly impossible to give as much time to each little coo and movement. Instead we are managing Lukas' every move. I did not realize this until this weekend when Jakob had us all to himself for the first time since we left the hospital 10 months ago. Poor Jake.

It was wonderful to talk to Jake and sing to Jake. We went out to lunch with just Jake and I have never seen him happier. We went for walks and just played. It was amazing and a piece of cake. I am so glad we had that day together because it reminded us how Jake often takes a backseat to Lukas. We are making more of an effort to constantly talk to Jake and make sure he is part of everything instead of just sitting and watching. Jake is just the sweetest little guy, Lukas is so lucky to have him!
