what? already?

every mom has these moments.  three weeks with this dreamy little guy have already passed and he'll be applying to college before i know it.  sniffle, sniffle.  despite the chaos, i'm trying to breathe in little tidbits of my day. like stella's chiclet teeth or the way her pudgy fingers work the "tags" on her snuggy blankets.  and how she furiously unloads drawers before i can even think of a distraction.  noelle suggested recording her laugh.  it is a heavenly sound.  it comes easily and heartily, as if it is simply in her nature to be blissful.  newborn moments are different.  anton is a grunty baby, who loves to be held, and drinks ravenously as if making up for lost time.  he feels so TINY to me now but i have a feeling he'll surpass stella on the charts.

Oh my gosh those cheeks are TO DIE FOR! There's just something about newborn chubby cheeks. I want to kiss them all day long.

What a handsome little man you have.

that's pretty much as mellow as he is (unless you count the wee hours of the morning) hope you're having so much fun with your babies. i miss them so much i had to write stella an email.
