Now this is a thread I want to read. The other one scared me a bit. I know it's going to be hell on earth at some point and I might post here in tears but I need the good stuff
Best part about having 2 is when they play together and even better, when they teach other. Older is going to be teaching Younger all sorts of cool stuff.
So many. I loved the way Henry's head fit right in the hollow of my collarbones and how he'd curl toward me to sleep. He also did this funny moving his neck and little scrunched up face back and forth move that made him look like a little baby turtle.
When he got a little older, I died with love every time he laughed in his sleep. And his breath was so sweet. It smelled like fresh mangos.
Now I love it when he holds my hand at night. And when he runs into my arms at the end of the day or looks for me pretty much ever, I just can't believe he's mine and that he loves me back.
OH! And in the morning when she first wakes up happy and smiley ready to meet the world! And when I get home from work and she does this silly grin and laugh and is so excited to see me! Her little but wiggles so fast when she crawls to me
And when she stares so intently at something and is concentrating so hard you just know that little mind is absorbing so much and she's learning something new!

I used to sing the Beauty and the Beast song to my ds when he was little and would cry. For some reason that was the ONLY song that would make him stop crying. I remember one day he was about 2.5 and in the bath and he look at me and started singing it back to me. Of course the words were all wrong, but the melody was there and I knew what he was doing. I totally started bawling!
Watching them interact with the world as they learn new skills. Milk comas. The first time they smile at you for real. The sounds and faces they make while they are sleeping. Full body yawns Froggy legs and sleeping with their arms over their heads Kissing baby toes Funny baby faces
They are all the best as babies - nursing, snuggling, cooing, smiles. I love my sleep (A LOT) but when I had Isaiah it was like a switch was flipped. I remember one rough night when he was up a lot and I went in at like 2-3 a.m. and saw him lying in his crib, looking up at me and crying. And I just scooped him up and said "I would wake up a million times a night for you." And I totally meant it. I never had that feeling before until I had a baby.
