We made it!

Whew! We survived the first 3 months with 2 under 2. Maggie is such a sweet angel now!! Right at 3 months she transformed into this sweet, happy, pleasant baby. Sometimes we wonder if she is the same Maggie ;) It doesn't take much to maker her smile & she let out her first laugh the other day. Maggie is sleeping 8 hours in a row now and we have finally settled into a routine. I am LOVING mommy hood more than ever. Its funny how quickly you forget the colicky screaming & sleepless nights!

Borden started preschool a few weeks ago. There were lots of tears the first three weeks and I was just waiting for the day he would get out of the car and say "bye mommy with a smile". Finally, on Tuesday we pulled up and he got a big smile on his face and said "school". He started babbling about tow trucks, dump trucks & playground. It almost made me cry as he got out of the car and waved bye bye without a tear. He is such a big boy now! His favorite phrase to say on the way to school is "mommy drop off, mommy right back!". Borden is such a little chatterbox. One of my favorite things he says is "mommy hold you" or "mommy nuggle" when he feels like snuggling. It makes me melt!

I am playing catch up on this post, so here are a ton of pictures from the last month.
