Do you remember when....

Brandon set up a new screen saver for our computer where it just picks random pictures that are saved on our computer. It has been neat to see pictures of the boys pop up from when they were little. That coupled with the fact that Ally rolled over for the first time this weekend (that will be my next blog) got me thinking about the boys when they were little. Can you remember when each of your kids rolled over, started crawling, walking or talking? It makes me sad to say that I can't. I look back now at when my two boys were little and I can remember wishing away the days of them being babies and wanting them to grow up too fast. Because they were only 13 months apart I think I was a little overwhelmed with taking care of two babies and I know I didn't enjoy them as much as I should have. I see that now that we have Ally and how much our whole family, the boys included love to just sit on the floor and play with her. She is already getting so big way to fast. I regret not taking the time to enjoy the boys as babies more and I am not making the same mistake with Ally. While the boys are at school I get to spend my whole day with her. I am enjoying all of the one on one time and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I realize now you can never get back those cute smile's that melt your heart and the quite moments of cuddling. Here are some of the cute pictures of the boys when they were little.

Jax.... I think Ally looks a lot like him

How cute is Dylan with all that hair? I agree with what you said about taking time to cuddle your babies. We couldn't wait until our oldest grew and reached all his milestones. By the time Baby Girl came around we knew how fast they grew and cherished every moment.

Just wait until they get to be teenagers and then that feeling will be even stronger. Those innocent days disappear faster with every baby. Enjoy your time with Ally. What curly hair Dylan had!

What a good idea, I really enjoyed looking at those pictures. I didn't get to see you a lot when you boys were little...guess I missed out too then!!

HOW ADORABLE! Yu hit the nail on the head. I didn't get to fully enjoy Isaac cause I was going to school and working full time. This time it's all so different. You also make me think I should wait just a little longer than we first were thinking for the next one....

Sommar,

Your kids are so dang cute. I love how much the boys just love their little sister. It is good to keep up with what is going on with you. I just created a blog, not sure how it all works yet ....
