two years.

Today my baby turned two. I’ve been thinking all week about the day he was born, and exactly what I was doing two years ago leading up to his birth. I was enjoying being finally finished with school, working for my mom up until the day I had him. I went into my dr. appointment for my 38 week check and was surprised when my dr asked if I wanted to deliver the following week. Of course I was thrilled to not have to go to 40 weeks and to get to meet my baby early. I loved every bit of the day he was born. It was a Thursday, the hospital was brand spanking new it almost felt like we checked into a hotel. That entire day was bliss, mixed with pain. But the kind of pain that is worth it, the kind of pain you would relive over and over again. When I can’t sleep at night I try to remember every detail of that day and play it over in my brain. It always makes me smile and cry and feel so grateful that he’s mine. Two years came and went so fast it breaks my heart a little. But they have been the most fulfilling years I’ve ever lived. Happy Birthday my baby, I’ll love you forever.

he misses me when i’m gone

I just got home from a couple days in Vegas with my mom and cousin. Three days and two nights away from my baby scared me. But I stayed so busy shopping and eating that it went by faster than I thought it would! And while I had the best time on a break with the girls, I sure was happy to come home to my boys. The best part of all was ringing the doorbell when I got home to be greeted by my smiling baby shouting “mama mama mama!!” And then I just melted on the floor into a puddle. He didn’t forget me! He maybe even missed me a little, even if he was with his favorite parent for a few days. I did find a few great things I had to buy in Vegas including these shoes, and this backpack in a matte metallic color. Now it’s back to our life of cars, and coloring, and books, and it’s my favorite thing on the planet.

floor time with my boy.

button up: mindy mae’s market c/0// jeans: current/elliott

We’ve been spending a lot of time outside or by our back door watching our landscape go in. Beau loves the tractors and tells me over and over again “yellow tractor!” And of course he usually has his own cars in his hands. He likes one in each hand and he knows exactly which ones he wants. They have names, which is usually just their color, unless it’s “queen” meaning Lightning McQueen. I can’t even tell you how many times I get him strapped in the car when he screams “WHITE WHITE WHITE”, which of course means if I don’t get his white truck he will scream the entire drive wherever we are going. It’s just precious right? But really to see the joy, and to hear the squeals of excitement when he gets that white truck is just the best thing there is.

mother’s day

skirt: old (similar)// belt: asos// shoes: nordstrom// choker: asos

This was my 2nd mother’s day with my Beau. I still sometimes can’t believe I’m a mother to a nearly 2 year old. The fact that I’m responsible for this little person and all of his needs and happiness is overwhelming at times. But it’s what I’ve dreamed of doing since I was a little girl, and it’s even more of a dream than I pictured. I love being this boys mom! There are moments that are grueling, so hard that I’m brought to tears, and piling frustration. But it’s all worth it when I look at his face, when he randomly gives me a snuggle or a smooch. He is my world. I hardly remember life before him! How grateful I am to be given the amazing gift of motherhood. And to my own mother…..how I love her so.

Here’s to a happy week.

beau loves his dad, and cars.

I snapped these pics the other night when my boys were playing. They play all night once dad is home and it’s one of my favorite things to see. Beau waits all day to see his dad and if he hears a noise that resembles the garage opening (like the dishwasher) he immediately runs to the door “daddy home?”. He’s his favorite person and it’s so sweet, and sometimes annoying ;). Today I took Beau to Target looking for a gift for my nephew and he sees the toy cars and immediately starts screaming “CARS CARS CARS!!!!” I quickly let him pick 2 cars, ripped open the package and put 1 in each hand. But soon he saw more cars and hated the ones in his hands, so he threw them. This time his scream was a high pitched bloody murder scream. I’m sure people thought I was the meanest mom ever but I booked it outta that toy section and he screamed the entire rest of the time we were in the store. When we got home he loved his 2 little cars again and couldn’t be sweeter. good grief.

a boy in red boots

t-shirt: target// suspender shorts: h&m// boots: amazon

I’m sad to say that this boy is growing out of his red cowboy boots. Every time he wore them it made me smile. Especially paired with daisy dukes. You can tell from these pictures how rapid his mood changes lately! One second he is subdued, the next he is jumping on the bed and never happier, then it’s pouting. He gives me a run for my money on a daily basis, but it’s the best thing in the world. He will be 2 in June and I get sad every time I think about it. He is so smart and grown up, and insists on feeding himself because “I am big” he says. Yes, you are big baby boy. Too big, too fast.

happy days

romper: rags to raches (similar)

This weekend was so wonderful because we got to spend time together as a family and watch general conference for our church. It is always one of my favorite weekends of the year and this one was just amazing. Plus it’s finally getting warm so we had a lot of walks outside in the warmth with the three of us. Beau doesn’t really even care about a playground, he just wants to run in the grass and be outside. It is the best to watch him light up when he’s outside. But it’s really terrible when we have to take him back in. It is full on backbend tantrums with bribing him on the side. These photos of him are some of my favorites because this romper makes him look like a little baby still. Heart eye emoji’s foreverrrrrrrr for him.
