I've thought a lot about stopping the blog. It takes a lot of time and effort, and now that I have TWO babies, even more of my time and efforts go towards them. I, of course, take pictures everyday, but there are easier ways to keep some sort of journal. Recently I mentioned this to Blaine and I was surprised by his reaction. He's said that he likes it and appreciates me doing it, but apparently he really means it! So I'm sticking with it.
So to catch up quickly, we'll let the pictures do the talking for the most part. So here's January:
My mom and Alivia and Aaron (my youngest 2 siblings) were there to help with my 2 babies.
Get me outta here, bruh!
"eeeeeeears" - Easton likes to review Brigham's body parts a couple times a day
Service dog/therapy puppy since Easton's too wild for that role
Learning how to use the sollywrap... Aarie is so supportive
Liv practiced some hairstyles, like this Anna inspired one since she's pretty much Easton's 1st crush
This was right after Easton said "I love you" for the first and only time...
he said it to my mom, but she left for the airport anyways.
Thats probably why he hasn't said it again ;)
My mom watched the boys while Blaine and I went out for a fancy birthday dinner on the lake
Blaine went back to school, my mom left,
and I was on my own with my 2 week old and my 18 month old (and my 2 year old pup, of course)
Brigham slept an extra lot the first month or two, trying to grow his big, strong, healthy body!
ok, everyone with antlers, get in my truck
I have so many pictures of Easton in this same pose, same bassinet, and same blankie
Blaine and Easton came home from church to catch this picture of us napping
A sweet three-way Baker boy hug
I call this piece, "Exhausted"
(I realize now that having only one kid is soooooo easy)
We like to draw things we can identify... and he loves snowmen.
Plus, he makes me feel like an incredibly talented artist
Brigham is such a sweet, happy, low maintenance baby,
and a good sport about all the love he receives from his big brother
I didn't dare go to the grocery store alone with these two for the first month (but now its no big deal)
but we did go to the zoo with our friends when Brigham was almost 3 weeks. It was a success!
Why hello, Mother. May I help you?
My sweet boy sneaking a midnight snack... literally
Snuggling in their blankies their mama made them when they were born
Totally un-staged. This is a common sight at night time
No, Brig. I said wink your OTHER eye
We (especially Easton) love being outside,
so we took advantage of all the warm days we had this winter
Real life mom look
While not everyday is a camera-ready day for me these days, I have become increasingly more concerned about actually being IN pictures with my babies.
We'll all want to see them later on, no mater what.
No, they were not in an argument
He's already growing so fast and so perfectly
