Baby Love

Over the past few weeks it has really hit us. We are about to be parents to three children. Right now it's so easy to load Addie Rivers in the car and make a quick trip to the store. I just keep thinking, " How am I going to do that with two." A newborn and a two year old. Then I realize that people do it every day with 2+ kids! A little bit of relief :) 

We have completely redone our house in the past two weeks. Painted the kids rooms and switched our living room and dinning room. Talk about some serious nesting! 

We have been talking to Addie Rivers about how she is the big girl now. We even moved her to a big girl bed. (which is going great!) 

But one day last week she decided she was not ready to be the big girl. Our completely potty trained two year old is now wearing pull-ups full time and is refusing to let go of the paci's. 

It seriously frustrated me the first few days until I realized how huge it is. She has been the baby for two years. 90% of the time she is just with mom and dad. She has been the "big girl" (except for those darn paci's) for a long time. The first time she used the potty is because she told us she wanted to. We never had one issue with it. She has basically been talking in full sentences since the day she was born. 

So for right now we aren't pushing the potty and we are still letting her have paci's in bed.

In 12 weeks she will no longer be the baby and she obviously knows it. For right now I'm going to hold her as much as she wants, rock her and sit on the floor for two hours playing with the dollhouse. 12 weeks and she will be sharing my attention. I just want to bottle these little moments up and keep her my baby forever
