My little Natalie is 4 months old now and growing

My little Natalie is 4 months old now and growing like a weed! She loves people but is sometimes scared by new places #covidbaby. She loves laughing and has started grabbing for things! She also gets excited when she sees her bottle 😂. I just love her sooooo darn much! She is such a light in our lives! 😍🥰👶🏻

I have felt sooooooo burnt out lately. True to god

I have felt sooooooo burnt out lately. True to god, hardcore burnout.

The weight of 2020, plus several long stretches of having my almost 3 year home from daycare, plus being just 4 months postpartum, plus getting up most nights to tend to Natalie, plus election season, plus quarantine, plus working full time... I just feel exhausted almost all the time.

I’ve been yearning for simplicity... for 90’s-esque living. For more mindless tasks, less worrying, less social media, less checking my phone, being more present... ENJOYING being present. And sleep. 😅

Today we all walked to the playground and when we got there I habitually sat down on the park bench and pulled out my phone to scroll Instagram. I stopped myself and said, “What if I don’t?”

I put down my phone and played with Griffin instead. We had so much fun. He is so funny. When we were walking home, we stopped in a big grassy field and just ran around. We rolled down a hill and laughed at how dizzy we were (look at our happy faces 😭). Then we found some sticks and pretended to go fishing.

Playing isn’t always fun. It’s not always easy. Sometimes it’s work. Sometimes there are meltdowns instead. But sometimes I wonder how much I miss by opting for my phone instead of real life.

Real life is so much better. If you haven’t checked your social media boundaries, do it now. Challenge yourself to see how long you can go without scrolling the gram. Maybe just delete it off your phone. If you’re longing for simplicity, put down your phone, slow down, and pay attention. It’s probably right in front of you.

Andrew is a whole parenting mood. 🤣

We are drained today 😂. A mix of an almost 4 month old who wakes up a couple times a night, going on our 3rd week of quarantine, a stressful week, and a stir crazy family... we’re just feelin’ it.

Here’s to an 8pm bed time tonight. 😂😴
