If I could slow down time...

Our sweet little girl has been here for over a week already! 10 days, to be exact, and we already can't remember what life was like before her. Just like when we had Carson, Jason and I have been filled with the most overflowing love for our sweet children. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to my Heavenly Father for allowing me the opportunity to be a mother to such precious and special spirits. I only hope that I can be deserving of them and can live up to the tremendous responsibility I have to teach them everything they need to know.

Brooklyn is such a good baby. She was born tongue-tied and it presented challenges with nursing. Jason and I took her to the doctor on Tuesday to have her tongue clipped. Even though we knew it was the right thing to do, it is awful to watch your children experience pain of any sort. She did fantastic through the entire procedure and has been a different baby since! She nurses so much better now and she gained 4 ounces in 1 day, which is really good! She is the sweetest little baby and she loves to snuggle. She isn't a fan of her basinet yet, or anything that isn't someone's arms, but we are working on it.

Carson went from being a toddler to a little boy almost overnight. I am constantly amazed at how much he knows and how quickly he learns things. He knows all of his shapes, most of his colors, how to count to ten, all of his animals and the sounds they make, and he can string full sentences together like he has been doing it forever. This week he told me to "come here" and then proceeded to count until I got to him. I couldn't help but laugh. He is such a great big brother to his little sister and loves to hug her and give her kisses. I know that having his Nana here helps a ton because he is still getting the attention he needs right now. I'm a little bit nervous for when she leaves.

Other than that we are just trying to learn how to juggle two kiddos and still get dressed for the day. Its a little bit hard to do when all you want to do is love on your little ones......
