Good Morning!

Yesterday morning I had a quiet moment chilling in my bed with Lauryn and Devyn before the older girls woke up. Lauryn and Devyn are pretty close to the same age difference as Maryn and Brynna. I was having flashbacks of when my Peanut, Maryn, was still a little Peanut and my Baby Bootles, Brynna, was still, well...a baby! It's wild to think how fast time has passed. I sat there looking at my two, little ones and realized they too would be long-legged, little ladies before I knew it. So I'm really trying to appreciate and enjoy these little moments. They go so fast. Lauryn, as always has been a crack up to me. She is funny without even trying! It used to be if you asked her what her name was she would say "Yuyu!" (Lulu). But now it is an insistent "Yauyn Youn!" (Lauryn Young). She can be very literal. If you ask her if she's a Silly Goose she'll growl "I notta goose Moooommm! I Yauyn Youn!" So I was kind of surprised in the video she actually played along and was mellow about it!

Lauryn is a force of nature! She loves keeping up pace with her two older sisters and is highly insulted if she gets left out of something. Her current loves are first and foremost simultaneously sucking her thumb and picking her nose. It's her go-to!

She also loves Devyn and will gently lay beside her and snuggle her. But I think she has subconsciously realized all this baby business has helped her to know that despite her independence, she still needs her Momma. She used to rarely slow down long enough for snuggles from me, but lately has been wanting extra doses. Which is just fine with me! She gives fabulous hugs!

Love this!

Devyn is just such a lover babe. She has this Ocean Wonders Aquarium in her crib that she loves. I will turn it on and her little face will light up and she'll grin and grin! Last night I laid her down, turned it on and went to wash my face. When I came back it had shut off, but she was still laying there in the dark, wide awake and smiling to herself. I told Justin that we hit the baby jackpot. She is just such a content, little gentle soul. I seriously love her so much.

I hope that as these two grow they'll always stay close, be buddies and remember that sisters are forever!

Tongues! Blah!

I love Devyn's face in this picture! She's like "I can tell you're getting ready to lose it, don't forget I'm right next to you before you start flailing!"
