What I Love...

I am new to this whole blogging thing, but I read a few of my friend's blogs. Two of them have also just had babies in the past 2 months, and they have both written lists about the things they love about their babies. You can tell when I have super busy days, because I mostly upload pictures as I run around the house. I love it, but I need to write some more. So here you go...

Therefore, I would like to follow in the cool footprints of my friends and write a post about the things I love about my girls and our lives together!

1. The way they stop crying when they hear my voice as I go to get them in the middle of the night.

2. The way they stretch with their whole bodies when they are waking up.

3. Their unstoppable smiles for all sorts of things.

4. The way they look like they are laughing, even though no laughing sounds come out just yet.

5. The way they are starting to kick their legs happily when they get a bath.

6. The way they snuggle their burp cloths and little blankets to their faces.

7. Their cheeks as they get chubbier and chubbier...by the way, I can now see the beginnings of dimples on Lexi when she smiles! :)

8. Their little button noses.

9. Their sleepy grunts, squeeks, and moans.

10. The way they love their milk.

11. The way they study new faces, and the way they stare at mine and Eric's.

12. The way they grab my hair and don't let go.

13. Their little fingers and their little toes.

14. When they coo while I change their diapers. They seem to love getting cleaned up.

15. Their hair as it gets longer on the backs of their necks.

16. The way they smell.

17. Cuddling with them after they have eaten and are falling asleep.

AND...just everything about being their mommy! I couldn't ask for better babies. I am so thankful for them! When I am exhausted, I have thought how much easier 1 baby at a time would be, I am automatically struck with how lucky I am to have them both! I love it that I don't favor one over the other...they are both so wonderful and perfect. I could not possibly love one more than the other.

Lilly and Lexi, you girls are more loved by daddy and me than you will ever know! Thanks for being so great! I can't wait to watch you grow and take another billion pictures of you!!!!!! :)


Oh yeah, daddy told me what he loves about you (other than what I said!)

1. He loves the way they fall asleep on his chest so easily and cuddle with him for naps.

2. He also loves it when he can feel them breathing while sleeping on his chest.
