At the time of this post: Carson = 7 months
Miles = 2 years 4 months
Let's do this!
Note: The gates were out of town on the day I chose to photograph. Hence why the girls, Becky & Todd are not to be found. I promise, we still hang out! And they were definitely missed. Also, Carson was in the midst of getting over his HFM, so he's a little flushed.
Our good mornings are double sweet these days. Seeing those little faces peering over the crib is something you just can't beat.

It was a school day, so the morning was pretty full. While Miles drinks his milk and watches a show, Carson plays for awhile before his morning bottle.
Guess what yall?! Carson's tooth finally popped through! After a few days of being super fussy, he now has TWO TEETH!
The rest of the morning is spent giving Miles breakfast, getting dressed, making his lunch, prepping all of his school stuff, etc while Carson plays in the living room. We are typically ready and out the door by 8:45am.
 |
| Ready for school and out the door to "Da Da Truuuuck - Mize HAA!". It was COLD so they both got to wear their hats. |
Once Miles is out the door, it's my turn to get dressed and put Carson down for his morning nap. During nap is my time to get some work done. His morning nap varies from his short 45 minute style naps, or he could sleep for 2+ hours. We never really know these days.

| We have ourselves a belly sleeper |
Exactly at the 45-minute mark....*SPIIIIIT* *Raspberriessss*... Carson's awake! And the routine continues - eat, play and more play!
 |
| Saying hi to Da Da! |
 |
| He's making headway moving across the floor - it's just typically in the backwards direction |
 |
| Lucy likes to get involved in the action during the day too! |
I usually work when Carson is happily playing. But I thought it would be funny to see just what he's up to. So, I setup my phone on a hyperlapse for about 10-minutes. This was him scaled down to 35 seconds.
 |
| Off to nap #2! |
1:45pm: If not already awake, I have to wake Carson up. Sorry sweet boy. Time to pickup Miles!
 |
| He's been liking to climb over the seat from the back area. Thinks it's pretty fun |
Once we get home, it's snack time for both boys. After snack, it's their time together. Carson LOVES just watching Miles be Miles.
 |
| Miles' new favorite activity |
I try my best to take care of emails and attend to work, but after Miles is home, it's a lot more difficult. Making sure 1. Carson stays alive with his rough and tumble toddler brother and 2. Miles gets the attention he needs as not to succumb the "oh let me throw this toy across the room. THAT will get her off her computer..." is a lot to handle sometimes. ha!
On this day, Carson had a nice nap schedule and fell back to sleep around 3:45pm. Miles watched a show while I buttoned up work stuff.
Me: "Miles, do you want to go play with Charlie and Lizzie?"
Miles: "CHARRRR-ZZZIIIIIEEE!!!!" and runs to the door
... playdate commence!
 |
| "The Nugget" is a main attraction |
 |
| Look at that air! ha! |
 |
| Sweet Charlie |
 |
| Lizzie in her baking outfit - omg. love. |
 |
| Don't worry....Carson was there too |
The Devlins graciously offered to give Miles dinner, and I happily obliged since Stephen wasn't home yet. I think all the kids liked the extra time together.
 |
| Yay! Stephen's home!! |
We said our goodbyes to Charlie, Lizzie, Mike and Natalie and headed home for milk and bedtime routine.
 |
| Today's film of choice: "Mouuu" |
 |
| Kiss night night for Carson |
Night night sweet boys!
We did it! Another day of making memories, molding our boys into decent and loving humans, being patient, being patient again, embracing all the hugs, all the giggles and all the smiles because man oh man, those boys deserve all of it! Cheers to adult time!!
