Spring

Spring is nearing, I can feel it in the air, the days are getting a bit longer. I thought these photos look "springish" with their pinkness. I can't wait for warmer weather. Just picking Isla up and taking her out without having to bundle her all up will be lovely. I am longing for spring this year. I think Liam is too. 

Seriously, I think she might be the cutest thing alive. She really is such a joy, a content little thing. She just fits right into our family, I don't know how we lived without her now. Funny how that happens. 

She actually rolled over the other day while I was combing my hair and I screamed, she looked at me and got this pouty lip and cried - I scared her. She's so wiggly, it isn't too surprising that she rolled so early. She did it on her Nana's birthday too. 

Enjoy the sweetness. Goodnight! 

Nana and Bumpa visit

Last week my parents came for a visit. It's always fun having them come. It feels like a holiday. No cooking, less child care, lots of shopping, coffee and more fun too of course :) It's always so hard after they leave, feels quiet and empty in the house. Liam is missing them, he just told me today when he was in the bath how much he missed them. Look at his happy face here. Thanks for coming mom and dad, we love you and miss you!

Friends

Isla's first little friend - Zach. Aren't they too cute?! He's 5 weeks younger than her. We had to lie her on his arm to get him to stop whacking her in the face. It's so fun to have babies with Laurel, no pressure to be a certain kind of mom, she's such a good friend and she loves my kids. Thankful for her. 

Isla seems bigger all of a sudden, at least her cheeks do :) Quick little post, not the time to write....I'll be back!

Hi little mini! Isn't she so cute? Smiling away. A little baby on a big couch. 

Here is my view from "playtime in your room". My one hour of peace where Liam plays in his room "quietly" and I nurse Isla. This has been a work in progress and I have resorted to bribing him if he stays in there for the whole hour. He's allowed to come out to use the washroom of course. He's doing surprisingly well. 

The house is a mess, as you can see, but I don't care. Instead I'm watching Barefoot Contessa, wishing I had the time to make such lovely food. The truth is I'm lucky if I feed everyone in a day. I actually wish she would bring Jeffrey and come make us dinner. I think we'd get along. 

I love this time with just me and Isla and her sweet breath on me. I know she's going to get big quickly and naps will eventually become more normal. Instead of sleep training I'm deliberating life - where will we live next year, how do people sleep train and miss this, what's the difference between mac & cheese from whole foods and the regular store, church, kindergarten, introducing solids, a new pair of jeans, taking up running, my online shopping bag at Anthro, organic foods, breast feeding and repainting my table. Poor B, this is what awaits him. Lack of adult conversation makes me think too much on my own.

 See, she's already getting big. I'm trying to make her laugh, she's just about to, I can feel it.

Happy weekend!! Playtime is just about over. xo

For Ava

Thinking so much of you, your mommy and family today.
Walked by and saw this little bit of pretty in Isla's white room that is somehow very much pink and wanted to share.

What words can you say?
Love to you Sheye, may this day not be so dark, may you find joy and beauty today as you miss.
