we're almost six weeks deep in this new baby thing and you know what? things are getting good. you guys... i've fallen deeply deeply in love with this new little baby. i mean of course, the second he came out i loved him. he was a sweet cuddly little baby & he was ours & i didn't ever want to let him go or put him down but he was still a stranger. now, just in the last week or so this little baby has lodged himself irreplaceably in my heart.
he gives us the biggest, happiest smiles. he coos & gurgles & makes eye contact & looks happy to see me. and that? has made me fall even deeper in love. so, things are getting good.
in this last week i've taken both boys out to public places {target, grocery store, the mall, etc.} by myself & despite a parker melt down or two, we've all survived. the boys usually overlap naps for at least an hour or so most days & i'm gaining confidence in this mom of two thing. life is starting to feel routine again. we've gone to stroller strides twice now & i'm enjoying coming out of hiding. it's nice to have a little bit of a life again & i know things will only get better here on out. because it's pretty hard at first. but just like everyone says, "it gets better."
also, i've started doing photography sessions again & had three sessions in just this last week! elliot has been taking a bottle of pumped milk like a champ while i'm gone & that makes me happy too.
and something i'm really excited about? being in the market for some new tennis shoes & getting real serious about getting healthy & back in shape. something about a new pair of kicks helps motivate me to get out the door & get my booty moving! but first i should probably quit this cookie dough & chocolate milk habit i have, huh? meh, one thing at a time.
ok, this post has been random & scattered but that's kind of just my life right now. moral of the story is we're not only surviving, we are starting to get a little normal around here & things are starting to get good. i'm loving my new life with these two little boys & am so excited for the coming months. fall, halloween, thanksgiving... christmas!! this year is shaping up to be pretty sweet.
and now for a couple shots of my cute boys because that's how i do.
