So what is life like now that there are 2? BUSY. I think that that pretty much sums it all up. Busy. Busy. Busy. I love it, but it gets pretty crazy around here sometimes. J is wonderful with L. He has loved him from day one. Or so I tell myself. But really J always wants to feed "his" baby and help burp him. When L cries J hollers out "Baby Sad, I go get"my" baby and hauls off into baby L's room before anyone else. When L cries J runs to give him his Sassy (pacifier) Baby L gets hugs and kisses way more than Daddy and I. I love watching J with L. He is so sweet and I am savoring every moment. I know all too soon L will be crawling and stealing J's toys and that's when the sweetness may end :) I pray that that they will always be close and will forever be best friends but I know that that might not be the case, so i'm enjoying these moments and taking lots of video and pics so I can prove to them at one time or another they did love each other. or at least J loved L.I'll tell you one thing, pumping takes on a whole new meaning when your 2 year old is closely inspecting what your doing and when you get through, he claps for you and says "yeah mommy" lol! I'm so blessed to have my little boys with me. Sometimes it gets hard when L is fussy and J is wanting my attention. 9 times out of 10, i have to respond to L first and it hurts me that I have to put J on hold so to speak for a minute. I love both boys unconditionally and D and I are struggling to find that even balance b/w the 2. Don't worry, J gets plenty of attention. J and Daddy have really gotten close these last few months and its so sweet watching them together. J loves helping dad out in the yard, and working with daddy's tools. Its so fun to see J grow into such a big kid and I know D loves having his little helper and can't wait to have his other helper in a few years. Life is full crazy chaotic exhausting wonderful fulfilling all the time and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you God for it all. Blessed, so blessed!
Belated congratulations on your new addition! Beautiful family!

He is going to be grown before I see him! Mallory hates the car too and she just recently started sleeping good at night. They may have some of the same traits. We miss you guys!
