parker, however, has decided naps are for babies & when put in his room for "quiet time" always manages to wake up e. so daytime free time is rare around here & nights have been used for running the photo biz. that leaves little time for blogging! did i mention i miss you, my friends??
elliot is coming up on six months {maybe i should start thinking about his five month post?} and is becoming such a funny little dude. his giggles, his chunky legs & his giant smile melt me. parker will be three in just a couple months & every. single. day. i cannot believe what a big kid he is. he is starting to take a huge interest in letters & counting & can spell his name. it's crazy! i love this life with my two little boys. and i swear in just the last couple weeks parker has taken a huge interest in elliot & everything he does makes elliot laugh. ugh, it's the cutest!
i've had some pretty sweet photo shoots in the last couple weeks & some pretty cool stuff coming up on the horizon too. my little business is going in a really fun direction & i am so excited about what this year might bring!
anywho, life with two has its ups & downs. honestly, it has taken me much, much longer to start coming out of the new-mom fog this time around. but i feel like we're in a pretty good place right now. my boys are starting to interact & this whole "siblings" thing is so much fun! i find myself in disbelief that these two little humans came out of my belly & belong to me. how does that happen?? well, i mean, i know how that happens, but you know what i mean. the fact that sam & i have created this little family of four & are now expected to be big grown up responsible adults is just nuts. we are a legit little family. it's nuts!! and so exciting to just all grow up together now.
they exhaust me, they make me laugh & they make me wonder how this is all even possible. i love my little family.
Love these little guys! Just wanna smooch 'em! I know what you mean about those epiphany moments of where you are at...I get them too! Life is so amazing! LOVE all the diverse moods in your photos...
ReplyDeletethe fact that we made them and that they're all ours amazes me every.single.day. they look like they're so much fun! I'm guessing that it'll take me a long time to adjust to two as well....just the thought right now makes me uncomfortable and scared.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a miracle, isn't it? Cami and I were snuggling in bed this morning and I was thinking the same thing...how did this little person happen? I love to see her learn and grow and am SO excited for her to experience a sibling like Parker has! You'll have to share with me all your wisdom about how to survive the first 6 months because I think you've done a great job!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe e is almost 6 months! I don't know how moms of 2 do it!! I have a 3 week old and functioning with a toddler and a newborn just boggles my mind!!
ReplyDeleteThat shark towel is the cutest! Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteThey are sooooo cute!! Makes me want a boy, lol. My (probably unwanted) advice is don't let him give up the nap! Put a movie on and say he has to watch it laying down. That's what I did and finally my daughter started taking regular naps again. She still does now and she's 4. I LOVVVEEE nap time, I am so glad I didn't let her drop them when she wanted to.
ReplyDeleteMy Parker is giving up naps too. :( No bueno!
ReplyDeleteWow 6 months already and 3 years! Just enjoy it!! Don't worry about blogging!!
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you! Isn't it crazy how 4 feels more like a family? Like when it was three of us we were married with a baby, but now we have two kids, that is a legit family!
