Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Boy

The song Beautiful Boy is on Jacob's bedtime CD. He has been listening to this CD before every nap and bedtime since he was 3 or 4 months old. Song #8 is Beautiful Boy and I think it may have come true. My boy is Beautiful. He looks at me with these big blue eyes and I can hardly believe he's mine. I know you aren't supposed to talk about how good looking your own children are...but I am! Certianly, I think other people have beautiful children too, but I just thought everyone should know that my boy is a Beautiful Boy.

Mother of Two

4 weeks old already. I can hardly believe that Olivia is 4 weeks old. She is now, 11 pounds, 4 oz. and 22 inches long. Way to GROW Olivia!

Here is a short list of my new Mommy skills. Just some things that I learned how to do as a new mother of 2 kids under the age of 2.

-I can breastfeed standing up...yeah me!

-I can survive a 12 hour day home alone with the kids

-I can have a toddler slap me on the leg with a poopie hand and not freak out.

-I can run much faster than anyone would think with an infant strapped to me.

-I can leave the park, or any public setting in a matter of seconds...know when to leave!

-I can carry both children up and down the stairs (Jacob, 32 pounds; Olivia, 11 pounds)

-I can have 2 children at the Dr.'s office, both screaming and not loose my cool!

Most importantly, I have learned that my heart does have the capacity to love Olivia as much as I love Jacob. I love them both, more than I ever thought possible and it's the most wonderful feeling to be the mother of 2, healthy and happy children.
