Haven’t had a David shot in a while. He’s so wonderful and so sweet and so kind and I love him so much.
And here’s the little one in action. He’s fast and loves to go under my desk. I’m going to have to get the gates for the stairs very soon.
I am only 100 pages into my 500 page book for this week. I might or might not get to finish. I am hoping to but it’s been a bit too hectic.
A etsy project that’s in process.
As of last night, Nathaniel is full-on crawling. I have never had a baby this mobile this young before, I am a bit afraid. And he now has two visible teeth.
Isn’t he the cutest?
Lots of todos this weekend but I think I am going to take it easy and do whatever I actually feel like doing. Happy Weekend!
Love him.
Nathaniel had napped a lot this morning so when we went to pick David, I suggested we take a fun detour. So we went to get ice cream. And ate it before lunch. Sometimes you just have to eat your dessert first.
A little more productive today but it’s still continuing to be not-the-best-week-ever.
I know it’s a bad shot but while I was chatting with my sister today, I turned around as saw David kissing Nathaniel over and over again. I had to snap a shot, no matter how crappy. I am so blessed.
Not a productive day. I haven’t been able to find my groove this week. Weeks like this frustrate me. But I am telling myself it’s going to be ok.
Today was one of those days where I forgot to take a photo until it was too late. Until all the light was gone. So what I got is too imperfect. But some days are like that. And this project is not about perfect photos. It’s about having a chronicle of our lives. My kids’ growth. And with that, I mark today.
Thank you for your kind words to yesterday’s post. They mean a lot to me and I am still thinking about it all. Still unsure how to move forward but I’m working on it. In the meantime, I’m spending more time with my son. Working on his letters, reading him bedtime stories. And kissing both of them a ton.
Giving myself the space.
The feet. The beautiful, cute, kissable feet.
And the eyes. The eyes that speak right to my soul.
Too sleepy for any more words tonight. Happy Monday.
There’s something about these shots that makes my heart skip.
I’ve been trying to snap a photo of Nathaniel’s tiny tooth for weeks. And here we finally are. How cute is that?
And look at my other son. He’s stunning.
Great weekend here. Got a lot done. Not all but most of what I hoped to do. And some quality family time of course. What more can a girl ask for?
Happy Halloween!
Halloween is not a favorite of mine. I hate all things creepy and I hate horror movies. But I do love seeing how much joy David gets out of it.
Nathaniel got to be a bumblebee this year. David’s old costume.
Doesn’t he look cute?
I couldn’t get a good shot despite how much I tried. I think there was less light than I thought it and I didn’t raise my ISO as much as I should have.
And David was Buzz Lightyear, thanks to my awesome sister who sent us tons of costumes.
All in all a joyful day. Hope yours was, too.
Gone are the sedentary days. He’s so mobile. Still not crawling but he is moving around. And he keeps doing this all the time. Trying to stand up. Trying to get his body to move.
I did all my A Million Memories layouts tonight. Four layouts, all with a lot of journaling, and I love them all. It was a rough day, today, but it’s looking better now that it’s almost time to sleep.
I do most of my work in my bed during the day. I lie here, work on the laptop and watch Nathaniel over the video monitor. Watching him while he sleeps is something I cherish. I often have to stop myself from going into his room and giving him a kiss.
Today, I was watching him play on his bed before he falls asleep and I saw him go on all fours and rock back and forth like he’s been doing for a few weeks. But then he rolled on his side and sat up. All by himself. He sat up and grabbed his two little teddy bears and played and played.
I was so amazed that I broke my rule of never going back in and grabbed my camera to take a shot.
And now he sits up all by himself. This kid never ceases to amaze me.
My boys. Love them. It’s been a long and relatively productive day but I am wiped and want to curl up with a book so I won’t write much today.
I want to leave you with the thought that life is short and you shouldn’t feel obligated to do anything that you aren’t really obligated to do. (sounds weird but so many of us feel a sense of obligation when there’s no actual obligation.)
I ordered this little pumpkin because I thought it was really cute. I am not a fan of Halloween. I don’t like scary anything and I am not a fan of pumpkin flavored anything either. But aren’t these cute?
We’ve been having a lot of these faces lately.
I think he’s cute even with his sad sad face.
