little audie finally here !

[Mango]

My nephew responded well to Alex in the hospital, and still does at home, but he started acting out in school to seek more attention. He's been lavished with as much attention as possible, but the baby also is colicky, not getting nough sleep, and thus my sister has had less time to spend with Steven. He's adjusting better now, but the past 9 weeks have been less than rosy.

Audie: my sister had a gift from Alex to Steven when he was born- and that also helps in making things a little more realistic for the older child.
She also started a good behavior sticker rewards incentive for my nephew, so if he is good one day - he gets acknowledged with the attention and if he gets enough stickers he gets to play a video game, or reward of his choice.
This has worked out positively for them.

i will have to tell my sis about the rewards stickers - sounds like a good idea - thanks for the suggestion. somehow i don't think benton is gonna be hurting for attention any.:funn:

My little bundle of joy was a whopping 9.5 lbs. It felt like I was giving birth to a portable TV! Seriously! (Natural childbirth)
Love the name your sister chose. Sounds pretty together.

That's what my daughter weighed too. My son weighed 10lbs 4ozs. I stopped there. (Natural childbirth like you, but today I'd probably take the drugs)

the hateful b%^&( who married my mom's brother had 4 boys and they all weight over 10.5 lbs. they were monsters. of course she was inbred, maybe that had something to do with it ? really, she was inbred. her parents were 1st cousins.

ok - i despise the ground she walks on. she is one of only a very few people that a really and truly hate. not just dislike, but hate. i know that's bad, so i guess i am a bad person. she always told me when i was young that i was so fat my butt looked like 2 volkswagons trying to pass on a narrow street. may she rot in he((.....
