Eli has a wonderful first year scrapbook. I can't even count how many hours I spent creatively trying to capture bathtimes, holidays, blowing bubbles, and time with grandparents. Eli has a wonderful first year scrapbook... Beaux has nothing. I always intended on starting her book, but with two children 20 months apart, somehow decorative page layouts, stickers, and cute captions took a back seat to showers, sleep, and finishing a load of laundry. Eli has a wonderful first year scrapbook.... Beaux has nothing.... and so will Eden. This time around I'm not even going to try and fool myself- it isn't going to happen. A simple trip to Target today with everyone in tow completely wiped me out. I won't be doing any scrapbooking anytime soon. I love to pull Eli's book out relive all of those wonderful moments again. And being that today was Eden's first official smile, I know I need a place I can relive the wonderful moments of each of my children. And if you can't create a scrapbook, a blog page can be an adequate avenue- right? It wont' have the colorful pages, decorative borders, or fun stickers, but it will have what matters most, great moments with Eli, Beaux, and Eden. And the truth is, these three are cute enough they really don't even need the stickers.
I don't know why I even bother dressing him each day (and some days I don't) -considering he spends 96% of his time in costume. Eli loves to dress up, and I spend a large amount of my time zipping, tying, and turning his wardrobe inside out. But he is really cute and he doesn't require as much laundry!
Where would Batman be without his Robin?
Eden first bath. She absolutely loved it and only cried when we took her out!
A girl after my own heart.
Ede and Lyla wondering what they did to get into this crazy family.
Cousins. I love this picture of Beaux and Gracie Rae modeling their princess gowns. Beaux loves anything that has to do with a Disney Princess and she too is rarely dressed but is most happy in a Sleeping Beauty costume. It made her day to see Gracie Rae sharing her love. And although technically they are cousins, don't try to tell Beaux they are anything but sisters. She introduces Lyla as her sister and often asks, "How is my sister Lolly, doing today?"
She is growing up. This is Beaux's first night in a big girl bed. I think we would have kept her contained in the crib until she was seven, but be awakened in the middle of the night to, "I need to go potty right now," just isn't the way to be roused out of a deep sleep, so we decided it was time to remove the bars. You never know where you might find her in the morning, she is loving her freedom, but that "I'm so proud of myself face," makes it all worth it.
And speaking of sweet dreams, isn't she beautiful?
