Bluebonnets

Today we went and took the obligatory Texas bluebonnet pictures. They came out alright. The two (almost three!) year old wasn't having much of smiling, but a couple rounds of "Home, Home on the Range" helped eke out a couple of smirks. 

AND. Hey guys! There is actually a pic of all four of us. Thanks to a borrowed tripod (Thanks Kelly!) and a self timer, we have a rare picture with both mom and dad. Yes!

So here they are- my lovely men. (And a couple with myself) They make me melt, even when the smiles take a bit more effort.

7 Months

We now have a seven month old mobile baby on our hands. I think that Dex didn't start crawling until he was about eight months, and K has been going since a couple of days before he turned seven months. He is still just pulling along on his belly, but is going faster every day and has been practicing his pushups the last couple of days. I can't believe this time is already here. This round of moving up in the world, and this round of baby proofing. Obviously we are very child friendly around here, but there are things Deckie has gotten past that we are now having to redo. Like- hiding all electric wires and making sure the ground is absolutely clear. Just today I walked out of the room, and when I came back a minute later, Kieran had somehow found a receipt that had fallen on the floor and was happy eating it.



Kieran is still our sunshine baby. Pretty much all you have to do is look at him and his smile lights up the room.



He also loves food. He isn't picky at all. He loves fruit, and loves food he can chew on. He is a true Texas baby and loves black beans and avocado. He loves rice and any veggies. There hasn't really been anything he doesn't like. He also really loves to drink water.



I love you, my seven month old boy. Can't believe you are closer to one than you are to a newborn.

Finding the Answers

Lately I have been doing a lot of letting go.

I love to be in control. (No one knows that more than Logan).

I want to be the one calling the shots. The one with the answers. The solutions. The one telling everyone and everything what to do.

But recently I have been trying to take a step back. Trying to stop shoving the "right" thing in everyone's face. Including my own. I have been trying to take a breath and see things from a different perspective. Understand that something that isn't meant to happen won't happen no matter how hard I try to force it.

In doing so I have gotten some answers for a few things.

Tonight I am letting go once again to hopefully gain some perspective.

We'll see what answers come of it.
