Beauty all around.

September 30, 2015: I keep asking myself, "How do I capture it all?" My heart is so full. It is amazing the love you feel for you children. I feel so blessed and so grateful for all that I have.

This week Ziah turned two weeks old. She is such a good baby. She sleeps lots still. Is a great eater. I am working on nursing her and bottle feeding. She is so sweet. Such a patient little girl. Some days I feel bad cause she is around constant chaos, but I think someday she too will feel blessed and grateful for what she has. I think God gave her patience and made her the patient one for a reason. She is starting to wake up a little more, and is eating more. She has the sweetest little face, and sweetest eyes, I just love when she looks at you. My days go so fast chasing the twins around, and taking care of Ziah. I am constantly wondering "how can I capture all of this?" I am so busy that I know I will look back and this is all going to be a blur, that I do not want, it brings tears to my eyes. So, I will continue to take lots of pics and blog as much as I can.

8 Days. Mom trying to be a photographer again.

Melts my heart.

Outfit from Auntie.

Loves Baths.

My favorite. Can't capture them enough.

She loves her sister. She always wants to give kisses.

Zoe is doing great. She started to take her first steps when I was in the hospital having Ziah. I was worried she would walk without me getting to see it. But, she has held off. I told my Sister and Dad that it would be just like her to start walking when I am not there, little stinker. She is not fully walking yet but will take 4-5 steps at a time, getting braver.  She loves to babble. She really has a lot to say. I love when she really gets going, really means business, and her cute little head gets going and starts nodding. She also can really yell with her babbling. Although it may be a little loud, and slightly annoying, I tell myself she is very passionate about what she has to say right now. She continues to love the dishwasher, she is a helper, loves to take the wipes out of the package, clothes out of the dresser, loves her baby sister, loves to give kisses (this is new and is so sweet, I was giving her a bath one night and after being emotional for a few nights  she stood up in the tub and gave me a big open mouth kiss, like she just knew I needed it), loves to go for walks and go see the ducks, she is full of life. 

Trying to climb out.

Zayne is doing awesome. He is scooting everywhere. He has come so far with therapy. He is crawling better (mainly on carpet). He stands on his own and will walk along furniture. He is into everything. If he shouldn't be there he is there. He loves to crawl into the corners of everything, Crawl behind things, If you block something off he will tilt it and build a ramp to climb up. He recently pushed himself through the patio screen door and snuck out onto the patio. He also loves dishwasher. He is all boy, with a lot of determination and motivation. We are in trouble with this guy. He OT, Schad says he is one of the most determined and motivated kids he has worked with and he has made so much progress. Again, it's always on Zayne terms.

Little Monkey.

Family photo. Love.

We have a special guest visitor with us right now. Ms. Maureen drove all the way from SLC and made Bozeman a special stop on her Vacation. We are so happy to have her. Zayne loves his snuggles from Maureen. Today we took Maureen up to Hylite Canyon, to Palisade falls. It was so goregous, the leaves were a beautiful golden yellow. The falls were beautiful, and Maureen, AKA the animal whisperer was even able to spot a mountain goat high up on the mountain. It was so nice to get out of the house, get a small hike in, and enjoy the outdoors, and capture some family photos.

Andy and Zayne checking out the falls.

Daddy and Zoe.

Daddy and Zayne

We are so lucky and Grateful to have her in our lives. 

Life is good. We are adapting. Ziah fits in well, We can't imagine life with out her, She was meant to be here, She is here for a reason. Although things are crazy and busy, we wouldn't change it. Well maybe a little more sleep would be nice. We are figuring out our routine, routine is key- as for a schedule- I am not sure you get a schedule with 3 under 14 months. So, we will take what we can get.

I think they had fun despite their faces.

October 3, 2015:Today we went to visit the Alapaca's. It was cold and rainy and we weren't even sure if we would go. But, since no one other than Mom and Dad wanted to nap we ventured out. It was fun to see them but cold. Zayne laughed a bit as Dad was feeding them, Zoe may have smiled once or twice. Ziah also made the trip and was snuggled in the carrier up against Mom staying warm. Ps. Happy 14 Months you two. October 2nd.

"Life is an Adventure."  I am so glad you chose us to be a part of it. 

I have to share this link as I wish I could put my thoughts, my emotions, and my reflection into a post like this. Glad someone else can and I can relate to them.
