First Smile

Today I got a special treat. I was talking to Lucas and his face lit up with a huge smile!!! After enjoying the moment, I pulled out my phone and talked more. Sure enough, another grin! Huge, full faced and magical! And, I got the picture' 

Mom Win

So, we recently (three weeks ago) welcomed baby Lucas into our family. I suppose a full welcome post is due, but today that's not what I want to write about. 

Alex, almost 2 now, is struggling to adjust to being a big brother. He has many great moments - tolerating sharing mommy and waiting a minute (or 10) to get what he wants but at other times its not so easy. 

Today, we were sitting on the couch. Alex was wanting cuddles and I did my best to hug him while feeding Lucas. Apparently I wasn't doing a good enough job because Alex hit Lucas in the face. 

I told him no. Told him it wasn't nice and told him to be gentle. He responded by giving Lucas a big hug and kiss and saying awwwww. 

I will call that a mom win.
