Life Through the Lens// Enjoy the Ride

That moment when he figured out how to ring the little bell on the front of the tricycle...  

Everyday he is learning, growing, and becoming more independent. 

Everyday I am learning, growing, and trying to give him opportunities to gain confidence. Part of parenthood is learning to let him enjoy the ride, being there to cheer him on, steering him in the right direction, and picking him up when he falls. 

Project Life// A Look at our Story

As promised, I've got a whole lot of Project life photos that I've been needing to catch up on posting... and there are more coming. I'm not gonna lie, with a high risk pregnancy I couldn't bend down to arrange my photos and photograph them properly. And obviously, after my sweet little Max came, he required all of my time and energy. I still need to finish his birth story spreads, but other than that, I've actually managed to keep up to date! Thank you Project Life...

Honestly, the last several months have not been easy with Max's health challenges, and the fact that I've been able to keep on top of documenting our story is amazing. I'm in love with Project Life. It just works for me! The accessibility of core kits at local scrapbooking stores could not have been timed any better, as I (nerdy here) anxiously awaited both the arrival of our little Max and PL at Hobby Lobby. I love that I can dress the pages up if I have a little more time, but I can also just slip the photos and cards in the page protectors while the little man is napping and it still looks beautiful!

I've got a lot more pages coming and a system figured out to streamline the process of sharing Project Life posts weekly here...

Thanks for looking!

Life Through the Lens// Naptime

 

 

This little boy. Goodness... Words can't express just how much I love every little thing about him. I guess that's why I take so many photos... because perhaps a photograph can say what I have yet to find the words to articulate. 

I love watching him sleep; seeing him so peaceful and content. He smiles and giggles in his sleep, and I can't help but wonder what he must be dreaming about. I love that he is learning to hold his toys, and that he keeps a firm grip on them while he rests...

He would still much rather take all his naps in my arms, and I am more than happy to oblige as often as possible, but it is nice when he is willing to let me lay him down long enough to get a few things done around the house, catch up on some scrapbooking, or snuggle with Dolly and get a little rest myself. We like naptime.
