Totally in love

With my boys. (all 3 of them) But specially the two little ones. I am so happy being a mom of two, and thrilled the transition has gone so smoothly. Even after today, when Landen didn't nap, which means I didn't nap, I am still loving it. We had a great time today doing arts and crafts. I asked Landen what he wanted to make, and he said a fish, so we made a fish. It's super cute, I will have to take a picture of it to share.
Logan is going thru a growth spurt, and nursed a ton today.
We stayed in, no park today, it was just a little chilly for me, in the morning it was high 50s, and I don't really have anything warm for Logs. (lowgs) Ha, it even makes me smile to think of his little nick name.
I am looking forward to his first smile, and when he starts to notice, and love his brother.
He is to funny, when Landen is nursing, Logan will look down, and kinda dive for the boob. LOL And bob around for the nipple, and Landen will just keep on nursing and ignore him. Other times he will do the same thing when he wants to nurse, and Landen isn't. Just dive down there. He's a smart boy. At night in our bed, he rolls over if he is to far from me to nurse.
Right now Landen is "petting" Logan and saying, "good dog".
I am amazed how easy it is to love another, and how I wondered it I would like explode, or what it would feel like, to love two so much, but I am still whole. If you have more than one you know what I am talking about, that transition, how much you love your first, and wondering if you could ever love two that much.
He is 3 weeks old yesterday, and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. He has really chunked up, not fat, and rolly like is cute in babies, but just solid, and getting bigger. He doesn't look like a newborn to me. He is probably almost 11 lbs.
We bought Landen a little people bus and he opened it (I wrapped it) last week, and loves it. He is growing up so much, and talking so much, and just becoming a big boy. I love to watch him learn, and see the world thru his eyes.
Matt's been working with a brother, picking up a few days here and there, and although the pay is not good, might work with him until something better comes along. It's something, right?
I offered to get a job working nights, but he doesn't want me to work. Eventually maybe I will take care of a toddler again, but not quite yet.
I will post some pictures shortly, right now Landen is climbing on me.

Wow, three weeks already! I'm glad you are getting all settled in as a family of four. Having one child is great, but having siblings opens up a whole new world.

Isn't it awesome having two kids. Now that Colton is getting older it's fun watching him laugh at his sister.

Hope Matt keeps finding work. I'm glad there was a brother that had some for him. DH was laid off for four months this summer. We are expecting him to get laid off again soon. Keep trusting in Jehovah, it will all work out!
