Clara's first 3 weeks part 2.

Having a second baby has been a little different than I thought. 

I swear one of them is always pooing ha.

But it's been different in a good way.

I love being a mom more than anything else.

Doing dishes, folding laundry, changing diapers, giving baths, doing hair, reading stories, kissing owies  ect is what I've always wanted to do and I'm doing it.

I love my two girls more than anything and can't wait for all the fun times ahead!

When my mom left I bawled my eyes out for days.

I hated being so far away from my family and I wanted to just pack up the car and move back to Utah. (I may or may not still feel this way:))

Luckily we have a trip planned to Utah in just 6 weeks that I can look forward to.

We'll be there for about 3 weeks and I couldn't be more excited. Especially since we are planning on going to the cabin.

Oh and then in September I'll be going back to Utah to see Winston!!! And go to the beach for a week.

So there's another 3 weeks! Yay!

Michael tells me to think about those times to help me get through feeling so alone.

Hopefully someday we'll make our way back to Utah.

But for now I'm just trying to cherish every second I have with my two perfect girls because time goes by fast and babies grow up. Much too quickly.

Here's a bunch more pictures.

Olivia loves holding Clara.

And Clara loves being held by Olivia.

They're the cutest!

My little swaddled baby.

All tucked in for the night... well for the next 3- 3 1/2 hours:)

Precious baby.

She's so tiny.

Gotta love that binky that's as big as her face!

Olivia playing with her playdough!

I should have taken an after picture but that playdough ended up in a hundred little wads all mixed together on the floor:)

Naptime with my baby.

She's such a snuggly little thing!

Daddy tucked Clara in for a nap on the couch.

Oh my gosh, I love her so much!

Getting ready to take a bath.

Snuggle time with big sister.

Olivia told me that baby ta was so cute she wanted to squish her.

Ha hence the face.

Don't worry it wasn't a hard squish:)

Last Saturday, we decided to go ride the merry go round.

Olivia loves it.

Dad, not so much ha.

He about barfed.

So it looks like mommy has merry go round duty:)

She loved riding the "zebee" (zebra).

After cleaning up the apartment a bit I went in our room to check on Clara and I found these two cuties fast asleep.

Sorry this picture is a bit blurry.

But here is our hyper girl having a blast putting on all her shoes, reading lots of different books, and playing with baby Clara's balloon.

Sometimes I get tired just watching her:)

My two beautiful girls.

Life couldn't be any better.

Baby Clara is starting to look more and more like me when I was a baby everyday.

Could I maybe have a mini me?

I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Snuggles with dad.

Look how tiny she is!

I sure love this little family of mine.
