December and Holidays

The days of two kids sitting peacefully reading in the same crib are over for awhile! This boy is on the move.

Thankfully he's just as happy learning how to stand up on the other side of the rails.

We had a lot of rounds of sickness this month. One bonus was this happening probably for the last time.

 We love green smoothies!

Spreading expert, just like her mom.

Our local library was just renovated! We'll be spending a lot more of our winter time here now.

She turned into a snuggle bug this month and I'm not complaining.

Christmas in the mountains. The kids were spoiled by their aunt and uncle this year. The pink princess in her pink princess tent.

Free to crawl and terrorize his sister!

This is how you build a gingerbread house right??

Beautiful mountain sunrises.

Puzzles galore. This was the hardest but my favourite.

Bean got to stay a couple extra days with grandpa and grandma and got the royal treatment.


New Year's in BC. The drives were made possible by copious amounts of cheerios.

And mini baby naps. Riding in comfort.

Playing my new game with these two was the best.

 Sunday best series.

November

Another pretty quiet month.

Tried out some new finger foods.

Celebrated grandma's birthday.

This girl is a puzzle queen.

Loves to make all kinds of noise.

"Mom, how could you do this to me?!?"

Many morning minutes spent together in here.

Sunday best series.

November Instagram

McKinley is nine months old today! #evenLOUDERnoises #growthspurt #scratchandgrab #sixteeth

This never happens. My to-do list is longer than my leg, there's meat sitting on the counter, I haven't showered in three days, and sister bear is making a ruckus in the next room instead of napping but here I sit just because I can. One of the good moments in amongst all the really hard ones. Everyone tells me "you're going to miss these days." Maybe they're right but most likely they're wrong. These days are endlessly frustrating for me but I will say this, I will miss this moment. I love my boy.

When the fog lifts, I am thankful for my capacity to have rational, abstract, and intellectual thought. And for the people that think and discuss along with me.

October

October was a relatively quiet month.

Looking dapper in his gifted handmade hat.

Sibling love.

This is how babies "play" with each other. They don't!

We officially have a monkey on our hands.

One Saturday, it was like summer again which called for a park visit.

Our halloween monsters.
