The First 2 weeks as a Fam of 4

Baby Leah is still an awesome, easy baby and things have come much easier this time with tending to Leah than baby #1, Mr. Logan. She's slowly sleeping less and demanding more time of us though. Logan has had a big adjustment especially because I've been couch bound until just the last couple days with an infection in my stitches. I had no idea and just thought I must of teared really bad to not be able to stand or walk and even sitting was uncomfortable. Usually I'm playing on the floor with Logan and he has both Aleksy and my full attention but for the last couple weeks, its been Leah continuously feeding and me unable to walk around and play. I cant wait to be 100% so I can take him for a one to one to the park!

Leah's first bath! I even caught a moment when she wasn't crying. So far... Logan almost 3 years old and 0 poops in the bath and Leah 2 weeks old and 1 poop in bath already.

Aleksy took a week and a half off work and then also did all Logan's pick ups and drop offs from daycare until this week when I started to feel better. I don't even know how I would have parented 2 without him... or eaten.
This was taken when Leah was 4 days old, and she has changed so much since then! She seems so much chubbier in this picture and even her face has changed!
And Leah met her friend Teegan at 4 days old (and all the older Osborne and Webster kiddos too!). Leah and Teegan are just a month apart. They are so cute together.
Logan has asked to hold Leah twice now. This is one of those times. It may have only lasted for a couple of seconds, but for those 2 seconds, my heart melted!
A weekend backyard play session with Leah in the shade and Logan playing with his playground, pool, sandbox and all his backyard toys. This is totally necessary for me to feel alive.. a bit of sun!

Lunch break.
Diaper changes a million times a day.

After going through Timmies drive through one day, Logan asked for "medium cookies" and I said that I would make the with him. Apparently our orders always consist of medium because everything is medium to Logan now... medium cookies, donuts...

So we made some medium cookies at Logan's request. I asked very specifically if he wanted chocolate and he said yes, so we made chocolate chocolate chip cookies. He then ate one bite and Aleksy and I are still eating the remainder. Great for getting back in shape post-baby. But I couldn't say no to making medium cookies!
On July 10th, we had Leah's newborn photoshoot, So we went on our first car ride with all of us. It's official... our cars full.

Leah had her newborn pictures taken at 10 days which is exactly when Logan had his taken too!
What big brother does while little sister is having her photos taken (for 3 hours!!). He did pretty awesome but by 3pm, he was clumsy tired.
Logan being well overdue for his nap did not stop us from a Shaws stop! The photographer happened to be a street away from Shaws so there was no reason not to stop for a little moose tracks and PB chocolate.

Blurry (Aleksy.) but first fam selfie!
I may have been hardly able to walk, but I missed none of Logans soccer! I have always come to his soccer, programs etc so I didn't want that to change with Leah.

And Logan is slowly getting more comfortable on the field and has been able to practice small kicks and moving the ball across the field and the big kicks too.He still prefers the sidelines for the game (because why would you want to share 1 ball with that many kids?!).
Our house is a little more tired than usual with every 2/3 hour wake ups and a 2 1/2 year old who likes to skip naps!
My beautiful girl is almost 3 weeks. She's changing so fast and is now back at her birth weight!
