I Turned Around...

I loved him in an instant..

Hardly let anyone hold him..

 Was overwhelmed with his squishy deliciousness!!

So full of thanks and love for my perfect little bundle.

 

 His thighs were hilarious, his expressions would melt everyone who saw.

 My tub of lard was a hefty boy..every bit as podgy and exquisite as the next.

 With eyes that would see straight through to my soul and ignite a flicker of joy.

  His big brother is still the protector. The kind hearted playmate and the teacher of monkey tricks!

 It's those heart tickling giggles that I breathe deeply and smile. Then realise if they're enjoying themselves that much.... there must be a big mess attached! 

I turned around.. and next month he'll be three. I miss my baby Riley and love my toddler Riley.
Soon he'll be "pre-schooler".
STAY TWO! STAY TWO! It's the best best age.
I said that for Lucas and now for his brother. It must be a magic age all round.

Big brother Lucas still his favourite companion.

They're both still super cute. All covered in dirt, smiles and pride in who they are.

 Oh! And the fun to come!

 I can only imagine and gasp at the anticipation of belly laughs, grey hairs and more beauty and hardships in their journey to becoming good men. Just like our Dad's and theirs.

Tonight at dinner Lucas told me he wanted another baby in our family.... he'd like a girl please.
