rain clouds and sprinkles

a quick break from rain allowed us to take a short walk this morning.

day 3 and we are finally back in the swing of things. no toddler tantrums, hitting, or pinching today. hurray. 3 contributing factors to the toddler outbursts (we've noticed)-1. wanting our attention 2. new/uncomfortable environment (outside of house with other people around) 3. hunger. So finally a good day of eating, staying home, and just the three of us all morning at the house= my happy lil toddler once again. sigh. i am sure it will continue but knowing what prompts these 'episodes' helps a ton.

and this little munchkin- puts everything in his mouth-except when it comes to 'meal time' other than nursing. although-something must be making its way in because judging from his diapers- green and orange mean he's ingesting a little bit! despite what it looks like.

here's what i'm loving right now with the boys.

caleb's "i love you so much mama"

random kisses on lucas' head or my head through out the day, given by caleb

afternoon nap time always a favorite. falling asleep under my red blanket and waking up feeling refreshed!

salty popcorn and oatmeal cookies in lieu of chocolate peanut butter cups (nothing. i mean. nothing can replace my love of chocolate peanut combos...but until august i must.not.eat. my usual chocolate fix!) otherwise-an awake in the night baby reminds me why.

hearing rain splash the ground in the night.

these two boys of ours that make each other laugh and smile.

lucas' face when caleb comes into the room. he seriously lights up.

library books.

ending the day with a candle burning, a husband cuddled close, and two sleeping boys.

Happy half-way through the week Wednesday :)
