I am loving blogging so far, but I can't really say I'm confident in the content I'm posting yet because it's been so long since I've expressed my creativity through text. I almost feel like my writing is on an elementary level because it's something I haven't practiced in so long!
Keeping up with this blog has really helped me bond more with my kids. I'm finally taking the time to interact with them and putting forth the effort to make them smile and capture photos of all the happy memories that I can post and look back on! Unfortunately, I was becoming the kind of parent that spent more time with their nose in a smart phone and less time sharing all of life's precious moments with my children. I went to bed every night feeling like an insufficient mother and feeling like my babies deserved better. One of the New Years resolutions I made is to be more patient with the boys and to spend more time with them. It took me far too long to realize that this change needed to happen, but it feels good to finally go to bed know my babies had a full day of giggles and fun!
Today started with my little redhead waking me up bright and early as usual. His crib is in my room, but we co-sleep for most of the night because he needs to nurse so often. He wakes up about thirty minutes to an hour before his brother so it gives me time to stumble around, make my coffee (oh, how I love my coffee,) and have some time with just this cutie.

Ollie woke up on the wrong side of the toddler bed this morning, so I put on one of his favorite movies and made him one of his favorite breakfasts: hashbrowns and scrambled eggs with cheese!
(I wanted to do posts on what we eat in a day, but I've discovered I'm horrible at making food look delicious in photos )
Elliott still has that infant innocence-the calm before the toddler storm-but he will always have that look that melts my heart!
Once Oliver hit "toddlerhood" he would not let me read to him. Recently, he's started picking out books to be read to him or just sitting on the couch and looking at the pictures.
(I love his little feets and the way he gets all chubby before he hits a growth spurt!)
And that's all I have for today. The kids are taking a nap and the sun is starting to fade away, so no more decent lighting for any more pictures. I'm sure you can tell that I have a lot to learn about taking and editing pictures so you'll have to bare with me.
I have a couple of fun posts planned for the next couple of days so be sure to come back!
Also, what are your New Years Resolutions?
