Life With Two.

Preslee gave Jonah his first nose honk today, I think he might have liked it. I'm sure it's the first of many more nose honks to come.
I love my new life with two.
Before Jonah was born I wondered how my heart could love another
as much as I love my Preslee, but I learned very quickly that it is indeed very
possible for the heart to love more than one equally.
My life with two consists of
more laundry
less sleep
lots of diapers
a happy happy heart
priceless sibling moments
many kisses
coming up with ways to entertain Preslee while nursing
Fulfillment
and
a heart that has grown 10 sizes.
I never knew my heart could hold so much love until I had babies.
I love these two little munchkins of mine.

Preslee has really warmed up to Jonah in the past couple of days.For a while there she liked to pretend he wasn't there and was quick to jump onto the boppy right before I was about to feed him. But as of late she has been giving him kisses, laying by him, sharing her toys, and even introducing him to all the princesses in her favorite book.

You're a good big sister Preslee girl.

Your two little ones are so so cute and I'm sure will be the best of friends. You are pretty lucky and I'm a little jealous. Someday I'll have a cute family like yours. The picture of the two of them laying together is so precious.

That is so precious! I know how you feel about loving your kids, no one could really understand until they have kids themselves!! What a joy being a mom brings, who would have thought?!!!!

Sara said...

U are such a good mom!! And I am happy the whole jump in the bobby ended so soon... Ava still does things like that!! I am also SOOO glad she is sweet to him!! It is so frustrating when you cant leave them in the same room together!! For fear of his safety!! Believe me i know! HA! Both your kids are darling, and I LOVE the tan Jonah has! He is such a beautiful newborn! How old is Pres again?

Isaac Family said...

So sweet Tam! I agree with what you said about not knowing how much you could love until you had babies! Motherhood is the greatest blessing! And you do it so well-

Sara said...

Tamara, your two kids are adorable. You are doing such a good job and you are very motivating! Sometimes I think it would be impossible to love another kid; I tell Trav all the time that we can only have one because I don't have anymore love to give :)

Jennifer Phillips said...

Jonah is too cute, it looks like he has those same chubby cheeks that Preslee has. I can't wait to meet him the next time you guys are out here. We miss you!!

Kell said...
