Teething is Tough
Forest has the worst time with teething. Since the beginning he has spent weeks and months struggling with all the worst symptoms until the teeth finally come out, usually delayed by most expectations. He’s currently trying to grow in his canines. I’ve been a softy and let him go back to having [...]
The Bestest
I’m having a rough day. Nothing in particular, just not energetic, not focused, taking things personally that I shouldn’t. You know, just an all around blah day. But it just got better. Because Forest realized I was having a bad day and said “Hug, Momma” and then we hugged. [...]
Mother’s Prerogative
Ok, so I know that I posted this picture in the slideshow just a few moments earlier. But you can’t see how cute it is in the slideshow. I have to show off this adorable little man and his understanding to “smile” when you want to take his picture. He totally poses! [...]
Reading in Bed
The boys often like to play in their cribs. Today Forest did the sweetest thing. After crawling up into his crib by himself, he asked for a book, a particular book. I handed it to him. Then he layed down, put his blanket across his knees and started to look at the book. I had [...]
Wow!

Forest on the Monkey Bars
This is probably my favorite picture of Forest EVER.

M says Mmm
Thanks to this ingenious gift last December from their God Parents Bob and Gyee, Forest knows that the letter “M” makes the Mmm sound! I have shown him “m”s in books and when I ask him what it is he says “mmm”. I love being surprised daily by how much they are learning!
Nickname
Forest is going to start to think that his name is little shit. I know that I need to call him something a bit more enduring like Pioneer Woman’s “little punks”. But ever since turning a year old he really has become a little something. A little crafty, a little tease, a [...]
18 Months
The past month has been such a great joy as my little men become 18 months old. It’s amazing how much they’ve changed in the past six months. How much more independent and adventurous. And yet they are still my little baby boys who love to cuddle and need to keep Momma [...]
Lashes
Have you ever seen such beautiful lashes? Girls are going to hate him some day.
