I love this day of newborn-hood: the first legitimate smiles! Smiles up until now have been unintentional. There’s something about these first smiles that just melt my heart. So in love!

Tongue smile.

Hi, Sweetheart! And I promise he isn't sunburned. The color's just off and I'm not a very good photo editor.

Here’s Amelie modeling her new dress from Grandma Brenda.

She adores this dress.

Perfect for Easter.

And for dancing.

And for thinking.

And for pouting.

And for being absolutely darling.

Love you, sweet girl!

These two have been pretty busy lately. Their days have been filled with preschool (for Amelie), lots of playtime together, and enjoying “Baby Easton” (as Calder always calls him).

Amelie in her darling new dress from Grandma Brenda. Excuse the wet hair look. She adores this dress and asks to wear it all the time.

Reading in Calder's crib. With lots of toys. Speaking of the crib, I don't know why we even have Calder sleeping in it anymore since he climbs in and out by himself. Maybe it's time for a toddler bed?

Decorating their "suitcases" made from pizza boxes covered in paper bags. We've started doing a craft from around the world every morning and these are their suitcases for the global trip.

I’ll admit, going from two kids to three, or maybe just having a new baby in the house, has had its difficult moments and has been a major adjustment. Luckily, Easton is a doll–very “easy” as far as babies go. I’m just trying to learn how to juggle the needs of three children and actually get us places on time. But it gets easier every day and I’m grateful for the chance motherhood has given me to grow and improve.
