Cherish the times

You don't realize how much you appreciate your own mother until you have children. I have a newfound love and respect for my parents--even though I was the angel child:) I just blamed literally everything on Randy and Travis and my parents bought it! (kidding--sort of)


I keep telling myself to "cherish these moments"--even at 1, 3, 4:30 in the morning--to cherish these times in my heart. Really hard to do that sometimes! William is little over 4 months old and is getting a bit easier. He is not my cuddlebug like Charlie was and still is. William is super nosy and wants to look around at everything, stand up and just be busy! He likes to be held, but only if you will walk him around so he can be nosy! This child has a set of lungs too--but then he cracks this absolute precious grin with dimples and I just melt!


Charlie is still in 3 hours of therapy- twice a week. He is crawling and pulling up everywhere, and is walking in a walker. He is still not eating (hence the feeding therapy), but I am hoping once he gets more teeth he will understand chewing. He can't be a Clayton/Speck and not know how to eat! Come on dude!



More kisses from Charlie--he is super sweet to Will. I call him my "little rhino" cause he just puts his head down to kiss anyone. Thank goodness there is no horn at the end or Will would be in trouble!





We went for a wagon ride at Grana and Popper's house--he totally hated it at first,,,


But then spotted a bird and the world was right again:)






My little 4 month old Will--look at those dimples!! Ridiculously cute.



"Little Rhino" strikes again...



"Eating" Jell-o pudding...



Papa and William are good buddies..


We celebrated Nana's birthday outside..such a pretty day!


I think Will is getting used to "Rhino" kisses...his doesnt look quite as terrified as he used to!


I am hoping my next post will be one of restful nights! I cant wait to cherish those nights!

I love all these pics....those are two PRETTY, PRETTY boys! And yes, boys can be pretty before age 5 (in my opinion- ha!). Little William's face melts my heart~ I laugh when I think of the trouble Jackson, William, Charlie and Lainey Hope will one day get into :) Palmer can over-see the munchkins and Bennett will surely be entertained with them all crawling over him and messing with his toys!

That picture of Will up a few by himself, he looks like Whitney right there! Then, the last one at the bottom, that's the 1st time I've seen Ash in him at all!
They are seriously so precious!
It sounds like Will & Hali have a lot in common...no sleeping, wants to look around and be WALKED around! My aching back seriously can't take it! Ha!
Love you!

your boys are so cute!! I can't imagine how busy you are. I'l be pullin' for Charlie in the feeding therapy (and other therapy too). I have a special place in my heart for MOMMIES with kids in feeding therapy!! :) We've put in the hours and I've learned a lot...some from the therapy we did and some from other people/research. Let me know if you need anything...or to bounce things off someone. Love the rhino kiss...thats the perfect name!! Quinn and Charlie could have quite the rhino kiss duel!!!
