oh, our little home life these last couple of months!
you know, before my sweetest rocco was born, i was kiiiind of just a smidge nervous about getting back into “baby mode” again. it can be tough to slow down when you’ve gotten used to a faster pace, you know? and life with a 2 year old was certainly a faster pace than i’d remembered newborn life being!! and fun, too. i love that i know now what an absolute blast you get to have as they grow!
but, of course, i also recalled how every bit of precious babyhood goes by in such a quick flash, and that the most important thing is to soak it up… no matter what does or doesn’t get cleaned, no matter how much sleep you do or don’t get, no matter how many days you go without makeup… 😉 gosh, you have the rest of your life to do that stuff! but the tiny baby details? they totally disappear before you even know it.
and so! maybe life is slower for the time being, sure… but more importantly! it’s really an opportunity to relish. i absorb and i hold and i smell and i try and try and try to just cement every bit of cuddly baby boy into my memory. and every bit of big girl snuggle and song and sweetness. because here we are now with an almost 3 month old and a 3 year old!! and that is crazy. really, it happens just. like. that.
time goes fast! life picks up pace. and it’s true what they say, isn’t it? babies don’t keep. and that’s okay, i think! but i suuuure don’t want to miss a second of it.

i love you so much, my bunnies!
sooo fast. and M's rain boots are amazing! and such good neck control little rocco! slow down time.
i sooo need her boots to come in my size!!! and oh rocco is in such a hurry to be a big boy! why does time never slow down when we tell it to?!
Your children are beautiful. I love love the name Rocco.
thank you soooo much!!
Oh my this post! These photos! All the feelings. And they are exactly your feelings. So precious and short and gone in the blink of an eye it breaks my heart. I vote they never leave either. I'm already plotting how to get them to commute to college like their mama did. 😉
it does go so fast. My second will be 11 months soon and when I was emptying my phone onto the computer I was amazed at how little she used to be and wondered where the time went. It goes so much fast with two, there's no time to sit down and think about things because you're constantly on the go! lovely photos of your little ones 🙂
What are some things you have learned now that you have your second? Are there things you wish someone would have told you?
that is such a good question!! wow. hmmm. i don't know if anything has surprised me too much, but it's just crazy how much i love them BOTH such huge amounts… i am constantly wishing i could give 150% of myself to each of them and it's a hard and impossible goal!! but i wish!!
