I now have a precious little man in my life, lately he has been flooding my mind with memories of life with Ella when she was first born. They are both so similar in features and temperament. We thought for sure Noah would be a more vocal baby as Ella was always so quiet & peaceful, yet here we are with another serene babe. Counting my blessings! Both of my babies are cuddlers, Noah wants to be on his mama all of the time…he could be snoring and as soon as I lay him down anywhere and my last finger pulls away his eyes are wide open. At first I thought Ella was different, that she slept in the swing after being nursed so easily but now I remember clearly how she slept with me always, it was just much easier having a baby sleeping on me 24/7 when she was the only baby! Today was such a smooth day however, now that I am getting more comfortable with the day to day of being a mama of 2 it is much easier to spend some dedicated time on activities with Ella building hilarious potato head figurines (so much fun) or puzzles. My mom actually got us twister to play together to practice colours and we have been having such a blast with it, I highly recommend! I am loving being immersed in her little world every day, she is constantly developing more character and surprising us with what she’s learnt. You know that moment where they tell you something that you tried teaching them months ago but thought they didn’t get it? Ya well they got it, toddlers just wait for that special moment to shock you ha ha! This week she counted to 10 all by herself, we counted to 5 with her as we always do and she just kept going on her own…this may sound silly but Craig and I both got emotional. How can it be that our hearts can love this much? When we had Ella, and watched her grow I thought for sure my heart was going to explode from how strong my love was and even now I still feel it, but now I feel it for 2 little beings we created. This is love, loving your children- to me this is the strongest love I have ever felt and they have made my love for Craig grow ten-fold. Okay, enough with the sappy stuff – I am breastfeeding and emotional ok?!
