I asked Jordan to take some pictures of me and my babies this Mother's Day. Madison had a really hard whiny day, most of the angles do not capture my best side, (if I have one anymore :) ), and the lighting was never perfect, however, these pictures really capture the essence of what my day to day life is. ( A scattered house and all) Having a demanding toddler and baby isn't easy, but I really love what I do. While the normal pictures that I usually post are actually accurate and we really do have fun adventures and cute outfits a lot of times, a lot of days are spent doing chores, reading books, lounging outside, holding whining kids, and eagerly waiting for our Dad to get home.
These two babies, along with their Daddy are my life at the moment. I am completely invested in their happiness and confidence. While I am kind of a "no-nonsense, list making " type of mom, I am learning to slow down and enjoy the little moments.
Even though at times I struggle a little with being completely confident and proud of the choice that I stay home with my girls, I wouldn't change it in any way. Most days are long, but I love these babies and love to see them progress. I love my sweet Jordyn who is crawling and seems to be a curious little monster who I now have to always have my eye on. She loves being held by her mom and literally her eyes light up when I hold my arms out to pick her up. I love my opinionated little Madison. While her list of demands is unending I am so happy that she is learning to communicate and finds joy in learning. These girls crave my attention and comfort and I am the best person to provide that. I am their MOM! Happy Mother's Day to me!
I love these pictures Kaylee! So much that I may have to copy you and have Andrew taken some of me and our girls and what life is like day to day. Thanks for the inspiration- from the pictures and your post as a whole.
