Having six children, I have often been asked by mamas expecting their second child if the love for another child will be as strong as it was for the firstborn. I remember being concerned when I was expecting our second, wondering how in the great green world I would be able to love another child as much as I love Annaliese. Thankfully, God has given the heart an endless capacity for love. As I grow older, I think I've become more aware of how fleeting these years with our children are and savor them more fully and wondrously.

Two Months Old
My heart gets overwhelmed and feels so full every time I think of the tangible evidence of God's goodness in my life named Addie.

What a beautiful baby girl...I can't believe she's already 2 months old! God is so good :)
Completely agreed.
I have 9 children, 2 son in laws and a granddaughter. Yes, your love grows as the family grows. God is good.
very true. each child comes equipped with a their own separate "room" in your heart. no such thing as too much love. she is beautiful. you are very blessed!
How your heart and life grows was one of thee most unexpected things that happened to me as each child came along...love grows love and that love mulitples then grows more and multiples more in the end there is a lot of Love and GOD is LOVE...

Beautiful. Motherhood is one of the greatest gifts.
Your little Addie is beautiful! I wish I could hug on her. As I write this my little Mikayla(2) came and started hugging me saying"I wuv you sooo much,mmmm,I wuv you sooo much" Then covers me with kisses. Awww, I love being a mommy! Yes, I think we cherish them more with each one.
Yes- I couldn't agree more! Wonderfully expressed :)
She's lovely and growing so fast!
I totally agree with you...it gets easier for me to enjoy my children the older I get.
I'd have more right now if that was possible. :-)
I can't believe your precious baby is already two months old. She is so sweet. I was giggling at the other posts because my nine year old boy has made his sisters bow and arrows. I love how they are so creative. Love love love your blog.
So beautiful!
