"My wife's maternal side is a new dynamic to her personality—and it's definitely made her even sexier," Nick shares in an issue of Parents magazine.
"Everything that went on in my life…it was super important for me to have Camden first," the brunette beauty said. "And by that I mean my son and to have that relationship with my son to give me that quiet confidence that I needed as a mother and as a woman. Now with Brooklyn, I am just so at ease, I am so comfortable."
"We're learning together and figuring it out along the way," Nick once shared. "At least we think we've figured it out. I guess we'll find out down the line if we screwed up or not!"
"I love having a little girl, and honestly, I now understand what people say when they say 'You don't love one more than the other.' You love them differently but equally," Lachey said of her daughter.
"Camden is easily the most amazing thing that has happened in my life," Nick wrote soon after welcoming his son into the world. "@VanessaLachey and I are truly blessed!"
"Dear Brooklyn, I have waited my whole life to be your Mama. This is our first Mother's Day together and I will cherish it and every one after. I will cherish every moment we have together. Every smile, laugh and tear. I am you and you are me. I will forever and always be your Mama. I am honored and blessed to call you mine," Vanessa wrote in an Instagram post to her daughter.
"I promise to always try and give you my best self. I promise to Love you, listen to you and respect you. I will always forgive you and hope you forgive me because we will make mistakes together. On this Mothers Day, I want to thank YOU and your brother for allowing me to find myself and my heart and realize what this life has in store for us as a family. Your Daddy and I love you both very much... today and EVERY day."
Vanessa explained that she and dad Nick Lachey helped with their son's big move to the bed, and it wasn't easy. "Nick and I did it before his afternoon nap on Saturday, so we were awake and able to help with his transition. It took a little coaxing, a few tears, and ultimately a Kit Kat bribe (haha), but it worked! He LOVES his new bed," she wrote.
"While pregnant with my son, Camden, I felt guilty because everyone told me about this love I'd feel, and I wasn't there yet," she said during an interview. "I remember asking Nick, 'Is something wrong with me? I've wanted this my whole life, and I'm forcing myself to have those feelings.' For me, the love really flowed when I found out the baby was a boy. That's when I could finally bond, once I knew 'it' was a him."
"We talked about how we would have cared for a daughter and the things we would teach: how to grow up to be a strong, independent, and confident woman who knows she is loved. He is one of the most sensitive and caring men I have ever met," Vanessa said.
