nine.ten.eleven

Our baby girl is growing. Trying to remind myself to enjoy each stage of life. I will always have something to look forward to with the next phase and next set of milestones, but I will also always have something I miss from the previous stage. Live in the moment, mama!

And just because it's good to remember the frustrating moments, too...

Elliott's Element

This kid has a love for the outdoors. His face always lights up when he smiles, but there is a different kind of happy smile that comes across his baby cheeks when he is in his element. And I love to witness it.

Elliott, I wish I could give you mountains, trees, snow, beaches, and deserts to explore each and every day. I love to watch your excitement as you discover the outdoors around you. You are becoming a good little hiker! I hope that your love of the outdoors only grows as you grow older. Stay outside. Stay active. Keep learning. Creation is a magnificent thing to enjoy. Drink it in, little one.
