Motherhood

He is laughing here, I promise.

He fell asleep with his Papa.

Chancellor loves to dance. This was taken while she was dancing. I love how happy her precious little face looks!

He's getting so big and strong! Look at that neck control!

My little adventurer. She loves to explore outside. While I was pregnant with her, Aaron would tell her stories of her safari adventures with Papa. I think this hat fits the occasion nicely.

And it's still sometimes hard for me to believe I am a mother of two. I mean, I'm only 21. But it really is the best thing I've ever done. These kids are so much fun!

But of course there is a lot of negativity that comes with motherhood. I'm exhausted. My kids are YOUNG, so I feel like if I'm playing with one, I'm ignoring the other. And people are really good at making you feel like a bad mom. "Breastfeed always! Give them vitamins! Too many blankets! Hold them more! Don't hold them so much! You had an epidural?! Don't let them eat that. Let them eat anything. Take that diaper off sometimes. Talk to them like you think they're stupid." It's really hard not to let that stuff get to you. Magazines, doctors, family, friends, strangers. They all have something to say. But that is my absolute favorite thing about Aaron. No matter what I do, he backs me up. He thinks that I am the best mother ever. Any decision I make, he will not only support, but he'll think that it is the best thing I could possibly do.

I love my husband! And I love my kids!! Nothing could be better!
