I have a wooden fence that surrounds the backyard. Yet, there’s this little vine that has somehow found its way through from the other side and is seeping into my yard. I love looking at it. The way it’s peeking in. I love its resilience and persistence.
I wanted to take some photos of David today. Felt like it had been a long time. He made this face for me.
And here he is sitting at his table, coloring his workbook as he watches movies. Yes, he’s living the life.
We put together Nathaniel’s exersaucer the other day and now he gets to spend 15 minutes at a time in it. What do you think, does he like it?
Oh, yes, he loves it.
Not looking forward to tonight.
Just one little one today. I’ve been feeling a little out of it. Not getting much done. I guess it’s going to be one of those days…
Sorry about posting this a day late. I didn’t even realize that I missed posting yesterday until I was in bed. I love this little angel I have sitting on my desk.
I know this photo is blurry but look at that face. How can I resist it?
And here’s a portrait shot, I don’t take enough of these lately.
Nathaniel had his 4-month appointment today. He’s doing great. 30% on weight and height but perfect. Strong. Happy. Lovely. He also had some shots so he’s been feverish. But otherwise all’s calm here and pretty much the same.
This is a splurge I just made. Emera bag is specially padded to hold my camera.
Nothing like the joy of discovering a new toy. And rediscovering it.
Little brother, you’re awesome. Today you’re 4 months old. You sat up unassisted for 4 minutes. You are getting to be a better sleeper. At least when I swaddle you. You laugh all the time. You can fit your whole fist in your mouth. Your face lights up when you see your brother’s face. You love love love tummy time and will roll on your tummy all on your own. You are the best addition to our family. We love you madly.
Today, I went to Nathaniel’s doctor’s appointment only to find out it was actually tomorrow. It’s been like that lately.
More of Nathaniel on his tummy. Feeling unsteady but I adore this boy so much.
He really loves being on his tummy. And he’s so strong.
He’s almost sitting up unassisted.
Look at this face.
And one of the beautiful older brother.
Still working on sleep. Still feeling fragile. And pensive. And hopeless. And a bit broken.
My boys.
Feeling a bit fragile today. Tired and worn out. Nathaniel has been unable to take naps anywhere but on me while feeding and that’s not really sustainable considering I will start working in four weeks. So I decided to work with him on sleeping in his crib. It’s a tough tough thing for me. All the leaning over and kissing and hugging and love means my back is breaking with pain, my head is splitting in half and I feel broken inside. I know this is the journey we must take but I wish I were on the other side of it already.
I’ve been working on my next Big Picture Scrapbooking class. It’s a workshop coming in December and I want to get all the materials ready by the end of the month so I am spending all my free moments on it. Here’s a sneak of my project:
Working on this project really inspired me to look at my life, set some goals and feel excited.
And today’s Nathaniel shots. He’s been chewing on his fingers so much. Yet no teeth at all so I wonder why he chews so much.
Hope your day is better than mine.
Just a few of Nathaniel today. I have too many photos to process. Always like that when we come back from vacation; too much catching up to do.
Nathaniel and I started working on sleeping. I’ve been putting him in his bed for his naps. It’s painful for both of us and my back might end up breaking but I have 4 weeks before I am going back to work and he needs to be a better and a happier sleeper so for the next month, he’s my number one priority. Nothing else matters as much.
Today, my class started at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I adore teaching this class.
I love him.
We’re back from the beautiful Cayucos. I am in a funk. Not sure why. Too much time to think and not nearly enough time to do. Maybe that’s why….
More from beautiful Cayucos.
And today’s Nathaniel.
There are some vacations where you go sightseeing and others where you go on adventures. And then there are vacations where we just sit in the hotel, relax, play, watch movies we’ve seen before, feel no obligations whatsoever, go take walks, and just enjoy each other’s company. This has been one of those.
I had a long list of things I wanted to get done. None got done. Yet, I have no regrets. I enjoyed basking in the light of my family.
More from beautiful Cayucos.
i don’t like that purple bit on the back but too tired to photoshop it…
And here’s one from the beach.
And of course a few of my wonderful boys. I love them all madly.
Hope your weekend was fantastic.
