Kansas City

So I hopped in the car with the kiddos and drove to KC for a few days. The drive really wasn't so bad. And it was so so good to see everyone and have a taste of the things that once were again. And extra awesome to see the kids running around with their friends. A piece of my heart will always be in KC. ❤️💙

Bayba play pen

He's on the move and making life a lot more hectic! So I decided it was time for the gates 😁 this way he can crawl around and explore, but I feel safe turning my back to most likely prep or clean up after one of the bajillion meals I make. (That's how it seems anyway!) bayba on the go! 

When daddy was away for 2 weeks, we spent a weekend with my mil. My little cheesehead shad a blast! 

Because this guy

He's 9 months! His fav to-do's are:

- clapping

- shaking his head to dance

- smiling at mama and his crazy sisters

- eat table food- baby food be gone!

- make his face 

- laugh 

Food!

My man boy found his pincher grasp and so he loves feeding himself. He also loves getting messy. Today's lunch required a bath :) oh bayba love! 

Boxes of boxes

I've moved with kiddos before- it's not fun times. Trying to be patient with the process and make realistic goals of what I can get accomplished. I'll be in a roll with something and then it's ' I need a snack' or the baby needs to be changed or etc etc Etc...but singing and dancing amongst it all remains!

Morning

I love the mornings when my sleepy looking kids with bed head stumble into our room holding their movies. Bridge has her white blanket wrapped around her little bod and her eyes squint not yet ready for the day. 

Nora's short hair sticks up in all directions and she is holding bun bun or the latest stuffed animal. 

They walk in our room and crawl into bed with us. I love grabbing them for a big snuggle hug and then they usually say 'mom I want breakfast' of course since dinner was probably not eaten that well anyway. *sigh*

Oh and then there is bayba of course who just looks up at us an smiles. Seriously his smiles are simply the best around! 

Trying to capture these moments- but in a sleep induced state- the pics with a flash are definitely not their fav thing!
