Dear Baby Charlie, 

You’re a little boy now but you’ll always be my first baby! You’re a firecracker of a tiny human who LOVES all planes, trains, automobiles, and figuring out how things work. You’re my little bestie and even on those super exhausting days where we spend the hours at odds, your snuggles always center me again. I love you so!

Dear Baby McKenna,

You are as sweet as ever and seeing you crawl and grow and develop your own personality (ohhh the face you make when you’re hangry!) makes my mama heart happier than ever. I LOVE playing with you and watching you laugh with your big brother. I can’t believe you’re already crawling and pulling yourself up. Time is moving so fast and I can’t seem to slow it down! I love you my Kenny Girl!

Dear Palmer & Bowie,

I know you once had all the attention and love in the world and I’m sorry that your walks have been cut in both frequency and length. You’re both a bit extra high energy these days and I’m sorry you spend so much time indoors, but I still love you very much and am thankful for all the snuggles you give me in the evenings when we curl up on the couch.

Dear Cozy Winter Sweaters,

You are my best collection.

Dear Seasonal Weather,

You’re giving me alllll the feels and excuses to cook, light candles, and soak up the holiday season. And layer layer layer.
