My aunt Doreen has been away and we are so glad she is home now. She helped me so much when Tessa was first born. And now with Teagan, I am confident and very secure in my mothering choices. Doreen helps me remember to relax and reminds me, that even if Tessa misses her nap...she will still grow to be loving and kind and successful!
Teagan had her first bath today. She is 2 weeks and 3 days.
Brian's mom and her husband, Bud came to visit this week. One night we ate pizza and salad on the boat. Tessa loves the boat and really loves being around all the love in our family.

Tessam Teagan nursing, and me... Tessa usually lokes to snuggle up when Teagan is nursing. As many of you know, tessa is still nursing a few times a day. It's easier now that I am not pregnant. That was a hard stretch of nursing though I am grateful to have stuck it out. It is proving me be comforting for both Tess and myself as it gives us a chance to be still with each other in the moments that might otherwise lead to choas. It isn't easy though, I am soooooo hungry and eating enough for the three of us is challenging. I do think that I will continue to nurse Tess for a few more months but I see the end approaching. Sad but important for both of us, as Tessa is growing more independant each day I want to support her and teach her that this independence is good. While I have many moments that nursing her isn't necessarily fun, I have loved nurturing her in this way.
Teagan and I are in that nursing is bliss stage, falling in love during each feeding. Even in the middle of the night!
Lani, so nice to keep up with you this way. I'm impressed that you are finding time to write and post pictures! I'm glad you are all happy and healthy and so obviously in love!
