Anders is 3 weeks old!

It has only been a few weeks since Anders came into this world and I already feel like he has been here forever.  He has become such an important part of my life in such a short amount of time, the same way Alden did.  I have so much fun everyday getting to hold him and watch him change and grow, even if I am rather sleep deprived.  =)

Adjusting to two kids at home, especially without having Drew here, has not always been easy but I find that whenever I get frustrated or worn down I simply have to look at my boys and I am reminded how lucky I am.  Alden is always willing to give me a hug if I need it and Anders loves to snuggle and cuddle which always improves my mood.  I love being a mom and facing the challenges that come with it.  I am lucky that neither of my boys are very difficult so far, but there are moments of meltdown, just like with any kid, and sometimes I feel myself feeling overwhelmed and like nothing I do is right.  In those moments I have to remember to take a deep breath and remind myself that I am doing my best and that as long as I keep Heavenly Father as a central part of my life, he will help to guide me and support me as I raise our children.  I love my boys so much and can't wait for them to have their Daddy home soon!  Here is a video that I think shows a piece of how sweet my boys are.

Anders seems to love baths, which makes me super happy!  Alden still does not like baths and he is almost 3 so I am hoping that Anders continues to always enjoy bath time!  Here is a short video of how calm Anders was for his first bath.

I just had to take a bunch of pictures of Anders because I think he is so adorable and he is already changing and growing so quickly and I want to document this time.
He loves to stretch out his arms when he is awake.

Anders loves being on his tummy and he really enjoys sucking on his hands.  Here is a video of Anders on his tummy, trying to get his hand in his mouth even though it is covered.
Such cute faces!

It has been a fun and exciting two weeks.  I am so excited to continue watching how Anders grows and changes.  He is so sweet and brings so much joy and happiness to our family!
