Everyone loves babies! I just went to the movies with my sister-in-law and held her precious little baby. He let out these hysterical laughs that even had neighboring movie goers chuckling. I was again impressed by the love that pours out of babies that envelopes you. When a tiny baby stares up into your eyes with such wonder, you realize the incredible magnitude of the human experience.
Once I had fully recovered, 3.5 years later, I was thrilled to welcome Griffin to our family.
Griffin was such an easy baby that we were ready to embrace the new life cycle again after just one short year. When Lincoln was born I was again filled with wonder.
I wonder if this baby will ever stop crying!!!! 
There is just something about an infant's smile that makes you wonder how you ever lived without them. Everything stops and all you feel is the warmth of their love. My children have opened my eyes to the bounteous joys found in life's simple pleasures.
With our first child, I was the one with the look of wonder.
I wonder how I will survive.
I wonder what this baby wants.
I wonder if he will ever sleep through the night.
I wonder how I can be trusted with such a tiny and needy person.
Once I had fully recovered, 3.5 years later, I was thrilled to welcome Griffin to our family. Now it was his looks of wonder that amazed me.
He was very thoughtful and expressive. In just the first few weeks of life he looked around his new world with such awe and intrigue. He really seemed to soak up each experience.
Griffin was such an easy baby that we were ready to embrace the new life cycle again after just one short year. When Lincoln was born I was again filled with wonder.I wonder if this baby will ever stop crying!!!! He cried almost continuously for the first 20 minutes of life. I had to wonder if he still remembered heaven, and was crying because he wanted to go back.
Amazingly, he came to realize he was stuck with us and he has hardly cried since.
There is just something about an infant's smile that makes you wonder how you ever lived without them. Everything stops and all you feel is the warmth of their love. My children have opened my eyes to the bounteous joys found in life's simple pleasures. Hugs. Books. Laughter. Tickles. Jumping. Singing. Talking. Snuggling.
I am blessed to share in this wonderful world that they create.

I know I love babies. And being around our two newest nephews, definitely makes me baby hungry. :)
Ahhh... I love babies too. I would have more, but my husband always pulls the "THEY GROW UP" card. My third was so similar. She screamed for the first hour after birth. Her dad and I were a bit freaked out thinking "What have we done now?" She turned out to be the easiest baby, far and away. She still is a super sweet, easy kid. Yeah for #3!
This almost sounds like you are trying to tell us something..... another baby in your future perhaps?!!
I know EXACTLY what you mean, when you say he cried so hard, you wondered if he remembered heaven, and wanted to go back! I have had those SAME thoughts, Wendy! I thought I was the only one who had ever thought that. I think there might be some truth to it. But then, finally...they're happy to be here, and we, as mother's, can't imagine life without them in it. Beautiful post.
So cute! I love watching babies grow up! Makes me feel old...
Totally agree, babies are the sweetest. I can't imagine a better way for life to start then right next to a mom's heart.
Really Wendy?? Zac Efron?? Hairspray! High School Musical 1,2 and 3! I think he was also on the show Summerland...but no worries. I still like you!
I like babies from about 2.5 on. Before that--I'm nervous (all that crying and inability to verbalize what they're #$@X%-off about).
Just heard that YOU'RE training for a triathalon. You GO GIRL! YOU'RE a WONDER, too!
