Eliza Jo is 3 months old. She smiles and coos, but dislikes car rides and won’t take a pacifier. She weighs 12 pounds and some ounces. This baby girl is still so snuggly and has the sweetest and most calm demeanor. I love getting to know her more by each day.

I’m trying not to rush bedtime routines as of last week. I don’t want the last moment of our day to be stressful, rushed, or negative. Jackson is a professional staller, so bedtime can last all night but I’m trying to read the extra books (even if I skip a page here or there) and sing the one extra song. After I leave his room I still have to get Eliza changed, nursed, swaddled, and rocked and I want to give her my equal undivided attention as well, because duh, babies don’t keep. So basically my entire night is a giant bed time routine. Now its 9:24 and I have just enough time for my own night routine so I can wake up at 4 to feed sweet girl. 😅 Mothering these children is amazing, rewarding, and exhausting.

Jackson’s first day of preschool for 2019. Swipe to see how one year ago he looked so much more like a baby! 😭😩

Today I finally have the kids dressed just in time for their naps. 🤷‍♀️😅 We move slow these days, but will be rushing around soon enough, so I’m here for it.

This beautiful moment happened because Jackson couldn’t sit still enough to behave at dinner. We went on a walk instead. We met a man named Jim only because Jackson can’t resist introducing himself to everyone who passes. So in the voice of my two year old curly headed boy: “Hi, I’m Jackson. What your name?”

This is 2. ❤️🥰😍

We took the kids to Cincinnati to see @oliviaemitcham and @cwmitcham and Jackson just had the best trip. It was mostly chaos the entire time but so worth it, right Olivia!? 😂😅🤪

Eliza is 2 months old! I put in 100% effort to get a genuine smile out of her, but it didn’t happen until Jackson woke up from his nap and came in and asked to kiss her. 🙄 I guess that’s cool. He only tries to harm her once a day while I spend all day nursing and loving her. I get it. . . Anyways We all love this little girl with our (mostly) whole hearts. 🤣 She is such a gift to us. 🎀 Eliza sleeps so much better than Jackson. She still needs a lot of attention and cuddles but she is mostly a pretty chill baby. She discovered her hands this week and spends most of her waking hours sucking on them. She also enjoys brisk walks around the house, looking at mirrors, her brother, and being held. She dislikes her car seat and the evening.

We had a great night celebrating Nona’s 60th birthday at the Nashville Sounds. Love you mom! ❤️ @phyllisrandalls

Our first run as a family of four. We set out to do this today.. our plan was to be done by 9 or 10, but the reality was it took us so long to get everything ready and we didn’t get to the park until 10:40. I had pump on the way, we had to pack snacks and ice water and toys for Jackson. We had to stop after two miles and feed baby girl. But we did it. And the kids both screamed bloody murder all the way home. But we did it. 🤷‍♀️😂😅🥵🥵
