It has been really hard for me adjusting to having "two" babies--Aaron and Ammon. Aaron still needs a lot of attention and I'm giving most of it to Ammon. I know that this is probably normal and a lot of people have their kids two years apart or less but this is my first experience with it. Plus Aidan is needing a lot of attention too! I feel like I'm juggling a bunch of balls and throw one more in and I will drop them all! Although as time goes by, it is getting easier to deal with life. I know that soon (faster than I want) Ammon will be old and independent and won't need me as much and I will miss my babies!! It is hard to live in the moment and enjoy the stage of life that you are in but I am trying.

I don't remember a whole lot about when Karlee was 15-18 months old and Jordan was a baby, but I do remember thinking the same thing. I felt really bad that Karlee wasn't getting as much attention. The good news is that they are all ok...no harm done. We made it through and everyone is happy and very well adjusted...even mommy! :) It will pass. The reason that I don't remember is probably because you just have to take one day at a time and not try to do too much. Easier said than done with 2 older kids that are in extra activities, but you just do the best you can! If anyone can do it, YOU CAN! :) Have a happy day!
Cute pictures! I can't imagine how busy you must be with five kids! I know you are doing a great job. One thing I told myself when I had Bailey and was struggling with getting everything done in the morning with her and CJ was it(the baby stage) will be over before you know it and it really was. I can't believe how fast time flies. I have really tried to enjoy the baby stage because when they are mobile, it is all over!
You explain it so well. It's so much easier when there is such a gap between the older kids and the younger kids. It's funny to have our families so close in age....except for the parents right? LOL
