Twirly Whirly

Separation Anxiety: "Teary and tantrum-filled goodbyes are a common part of a child's earliest years. Around the first birthday, many kids develop separation anxiety, getting upset when a parent tries to leave them with someone else. Though separation anxiety is a perfectly normal part of childhood development, it can be unsettling." - kidshealth.org

Landon certainly has developed this to the extremes. Its not only when I leave him with someone other than Mommy, it is when I sit him down next to me and he isn't held in my arms.

I wanted a Mommy's Boy :D ;)

"Mommy's right in front of me but why isn't she holding me???"

The Boys: Playing so nicely.

The best part of this gorgeous weather: spending it outside with my two precious little ones.

Another beautiful day for a walk with my best friend, Delilah.

You want it... you got it. Here's the hat, babe.

Happy Feet :)

"Mommy, I made these twirly whirlies for you!" (yes, this is what he kept saying)... how sweet to have my little boy bringing me plants and flowers. He's such a kind hearted boy!

Thhp!

Aunt Tearsa spending a beautiful Saturday with her nephews. I love seeing the relationship that my sister and sons have. The time they spend together is irreplaceable, and watching them grow closer and closer makes me excited for the day when I'll be an aunt (biological one of course, Delilah is my bestest little niece!)

Screaming contest with Mommy :) Landon won ;)

Aunt Tearsa actually got me to calm down today! Whoo Hoo!

Shawn's famous fake falling "I'm ok!" routine.

Aunties are the best!

I had the privilege of being present for Delilah's first fruit (bananas) this morning. She happily gobbled them right up!
