Nicholas.

He's pretty much the center of our universe right now...

besides his big sister, of course! :)

This little man is so much fun to snuggle with.

I could hold him for hours...

if I had no washing, cleaning or cooking to do!

Baby fingers.

Perfection.

Is there anything cuter?

Well, possibly baby toes!

I couldn't decide which of these was my favorite, 

so I'm posting all of the ones I loved!

Is that a hint of a smile?

He's been blessing us with a few of those on a more daily basis.

They melt my heart!

Oh, baby...

stay little for just a while longer!

These moments go by too quickly.

But, if you decide to sleep through the night when you get a little bigger, 

I won't complain either!

This man amazes me.

He loves his children passionately!

I am so thankful for him, and the wonderful papa he is.

Having two littles to take care of has stretched me.

I knew it would be more work,

and it has been.

Some days, I feel like a 10 minute job takes two hours!

Then on other days, I get so much accomplished that I feel like anything is possible. 

(Hormones, yes??!!)

And of course, it takes twice as long to get out the door as it did before.

Why can I never remember this?

There are moments I feel totally overwhelmed,

but most of the time,

I just feel incredibly blessed.

There is nothing in the world I would rather be

than a mommy!

And then there was TWO!!
