"You wake up with endless gratitude every day, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is hard work," she said. "And the lack of sleep is something that is a constant and makes everything feel all the more challenging. But, I think, it's just having grace for ourselves as parents and as humans and recognizing that each day is going to present its own challenges, but its own immense joy as well." Here's everything to know about Mandy Moore's three kids: Gus, Ozzie and Louise. Moore and Goldsmith welcomed their son, August "Gus" Harrison, on Feb. 20, 2021. The pair chose the name August for many reasons. "It was last August when @taylordawesgoldsmith and I found out we were having a boy (it's also Taylor's birth month) and we always loved the name ... so it was settled very early on in our book," Moore wrote onInstagram. In an interview with Romper in December 2020, Moore revealed that she plans to "raise an intelligent, feminist, loving,compassionate young man, who respects women, and who understands boundaries." Moore and Goldsmith hosted Gus'first birthday partyat a park and it didn't go as expected. "I was so excited to get him in front of a cake and the quintessential first birthday,smashing the cakeeverywhere," she said onJimmy Kimmel Live!in February 2022. "Couldn't have cared less about the cake." After joking that Gus was "not a sugar guy," Moore explained that he had his eyes on something else. "He was curious about it, but much more interested in the cheese board that Mom had for the adults." Just days after giving birth to her second child, Ozzie, Moore shared on Instagram that Gus was "relishing his role as Big Bro," along with a sweet photo of the toddler smiling from ear to ear at the newborn. According to theTangledactress, Gus is in "his rockstar era." The oldest Goldsmith is a big fan ofTom Pettyand has seemingly mastered his "rocking out face" thanks to his dad. Mandy Moore/Instagram "He loves it when Dad plays the guitarand when mom and dad sing to him," Moore told PEOPLE in May 2022. "But the gibberish songs I sing to him while I'm changing his diaper, those will live in our house only!" After the family wasaffected by the Los Angeles wildfires, Moore praised Gus for his "resilience" in anInstagrampost she shared in honor of his 4th birthday. While praising him for how gentle he is with baby sister Louise and his "curiosity about the world," Moore wrote, "And your resilience and sense of adventure these last 6 weeks have been both miraculous and a gentle reminder that everything is going to be okay as long as we're together." "I love you beyond words and am so grateful you chose me to be your mom," she added. "We will never stop feeling like the luckiest to love and be loved by you. Happy Birthday, Gus!!" Mandy Moore/Instagram Moore and Goldsmith welcomed Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett Goldsmith in October 2022. "Ozzie is here!" she wrote in the sweet birth announcement alongside a carousel of black-and-white photos from the hospital. The actress noted that baby Ozzie "arrived a little late but with much aplomb (and an easier/speedier delivery than his big brother, much to the delight of his parents)." "Every adage is true: our hearts have doubled in size and the immediacy of the love is astounding. He is beyond words and we are so grateful for our family of four!" she added in the caption. Moore and Goldsmith announced their second pregnancy in June 2022, with a picture of then-15-month-old Gus wearing a "big brother" T-shirt. "One incredibly seminal chapter of my life just ended and the next one, as a mother of two, is about to start ... and are we ever so deeply grateful and excited. Baby Boy Goldsmith #2 coming this fall!" she wrote on Instagram. "Gus is gonna be the BEST big brother!! Xo." Mandy Moore/Instagram Moore was touring herIn Real Lifealbum while pregnant, so she shared important updates while on the road. In June 2022, she explained that she was "keeping on schedule" with her maternity appointments. "Grateful for OB visits in new cities along the way to make sure baby boy is a-okay," she wrote, along with an ultrasound picture. She later canceled the tour to focus on her health. "When we booked these shows, I wasn't pregnant and althoughI truly thought I could power through, the way we are traveling (long hours on the bus and not getting proper rest) has caught up, taken its toll, and made it feel too challenging to proceed," Moore wrote. "I know that I have to put my family and my health (and the health of my baby) first and the best place for me to be right now is at home." In a July 2022 interview withToday, Moore said that she wouldn't be able to receive an epidural during the labor of her second baby because of an autoimmune disorder called immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). "My platelets are too low for an epidural," Moore explained, adding that delivering Gus with no epidural "was awful." She added, "But I can do it one more time. I can climb that mountain again." Moore shared a few intimate photos of Ozzie's delivery in honor of his 1-month birthday. "I'm still able to access everything about that moment, which simultaneously feels like one second ago and also unimaginable to fathom life before," she captioned the post on Instagram. "Baby boy came into this world to the soundtrack of Willie Nelson's 'Stardust'. Good choice, sir!" In October 2023, Moore and Goldsmith celebrated Ozzie's first birthday with a small party at home. "Our sweet Ozzie is 1. How?!! I honestly can't remember a moment before this beautiful beaming ball of pure love was in our lives," theA Walk to Rememberactress wrote on Instagram. "The happiest, smiliest guy who NEVER complainsexcept to let us know if his food isn't available fast enough and who has total 'you seem like your hands are full right now, I'll just wait' second kid energy. We love you to the moon, Oz." Mandy Moore/Instagram Moore and Goldsmith welcomed Louise Everett Goldsmith in September 2024.
