a beautiful boy

Tuesday, May 15

When Everett goes down for a nap, I usually don't lay down with him. Mostly because that responsible voice in my head {though lately, it's really sounded more like a guilt-trip voice} reminds me of all the things I could be accomplishing during that precious hour. 
But today I did. I took a nap with my sleepy boy and when he woke up, we played. Just us and the sheets and my toes. And I really really loved it.

P.S. I'm fully aware that no one but me wants to look at this many pictures of my baby. But too bad. ;)

May 15, 2012 3:29 PM

Oddly enough, even though I only "know" you because of your blog, seeing your pictures of Everett takes me back to when my two boys were babies. They looked very similar to your precious bundle. Continue enjoying EVERY second as you do. Mine are now 21 and 18 and tower over me. As much as I love and like them now, I miss that precious time that I only had with him ;)

May 15, 2012 3:30 PM

so sweet. and I will take as many pictures as you will give us.

May 15, 2012 3:32 PM

Gosh!! His eyes are so amazing!! I love your little guy! How fun!!

May 15, 2012 3:32 PM

May 15, 2012 3:39 PM

Oh I DO want to look at them, though. And we totally had parallel days today. Pjs and afternoon naps with the baby. Everything else has to wait. We get to celebrate Mother's Day a full week, right!? ;)

May 15, 2012 3:44 PM

He is so precious!!

May 15, 2012 3:45 PM

May 16, 2012 8:37 AM

I don't mind looking at pictures of your baby boy! He is a doll. I instagram pics of my baby boy all day and don't feel sorry about it one bit! Love baby pictures. I see that you have the "honest" diapers. I was wondering if you thought that they were worth the montly cost? Do you think it's more or less expensive than buying at the store? And what do they consider a month's worth of diapers??

May 16, 2012 8:43 AM

Everyone does it, and when her babies get bigger, looking at other little babies reminds them of a happy time when theirs were that small!

May 16, 2012 9:08 AM

disagree! I'm thrilled to see all photos of your Little Man!!!

May 16, 2012 9:15 AM

Those blue eyes KILL me!!!!

May 16, 2012 9:19 AM

My son is now 11 and I miss those days of being able to just hang out and do nothing but enjoy him. So glad that you did that!!!

May 16, 2012 9:48 AM

My daughter who is 10 months couldn't stop giggling and talking to these pictures of Everett. She was even looking for him once I closed the window! Apparently she wants to look at that many pictures of your cute little guy! : ) Thanks for making out morning filled with baby giggles - the best!

May 16, 2012 10:02 AM

these really are so great. it reminds me of your post on when you had a dream about him before he was born and how "his pouty lips never quite closed all the way" or something like that. it's amazing how you just knew!

May 16, 2012 10:07 AM

I for one am so happy to look at ALL these photos of little E. I'm 6 months along with our first baby and while we're so so so excited, there are days when I doubt my ability to handle what's coming in the next few months...But seeing your sweet baby reminds me that it will be the best thing in the world! No need to feel scared and overwhelmed, right? Totally worth it. So thanks for sharing your little family with us :)
