• Another month already!! We were supposed to leave yesterday on our big adventure to meet all the family in America....but...we all know what happened to traveling so far this year. I still wish we could have gone...but I'm grateful that playgrounds are open again so I can take these little boys of mine out to play! Seven months was the last monthly shot I took of Cyrus because he was too mobile...we shall see if this is the last one for Glenn...

  • My cutie! Loves playing with Cyrus, has tried a couple first foods and is a big fan, must see people at all times because if we walk out of his line of vision, he will complain vociferously. My tiny boy! Weighed in at 14.7 lbs today, and I can't even claim that he's long and thin because he's been hanging out around the 1st percentile for height since birth. His brother was 20 lbs by this age. 😂 I have two opposite little boys and I love them so much!!

  • My Glenn! Rolls in every direction and is often found far from the location where he was placed. Doesn't laugh often, but when he does, it's at his big brother jumping up and down and doing crazy stuff. Has not been a big fan of sleeping for the past month. 🤷‍♀️ You may or may not have noticed my posting has been slack lately. I'm not done with The Random Writings, but life has allowed for a bit less writing lately. I've been using my other Instagram @seveninallfamily a lot more, it's less personal and more about parenting and homeschooling activities and books....I.e. a final acceptance of adulthood to a greater extent...🤣 Feel free to follow over there if you want to read my captions a bit more frequently. 😃

  • Okay, y'all it's been a while, but I apparently respond to stress by writing song parodies. Find my new parody, inspired by being isolated at home, on my blog at the link in my bio, or else by searching Seven in All on YouTube. Vocals by my talented sister @lessons_from_a_lotus ...I don't sing, I just write. 😂 #stayhome

  • Happy birthday to Cyrus! Not sure how he can be so grown up and also only just now turning two...all at the same time... My everyday adventure, that's what you are! I'm so excited to know the person you are growing up to be. Playing Happy birthday is one of his favorite things, he often decides that a tower of blocks is a cake with candles and has to blow the candles out. Today, it's the real thing!

  • Glenn is three months! And I accidentally put him in the same outfit for photos two months in a row...so you can swipe to see the comparison. 😂 He is growing! Steadily, but a just a bit slowly. Just wants to worry his mom who was accustomed to his big chunky brother. He's not doing so great with holding up his head, either, doctor's orders are less cuddling and more floor time. You could say his new year's goals include weight gain and a committed exercise routine. He smiles more and cries louder than stoic Cyrus ever did...from day one he's been trying to tell us emphatically that he is an entirely different person!!

  • I'm pretty sure my mom has looked forward to being a grandma since the day I was born...loving this photo of them with all their grandchildren (at the moment). The beginnings of the next generation!

  • When I look at his face, I still think: This is the face I didn't think I'd get to see. Cyrus is the rainbow baby, not Glenn. But Glenn almost seems like a rainbow baby to himself, if that makes any sense. I believed he was already gone for five days before the doctor told me there was still a heartbeat, he was still growing, and that this was a threatened miscarriage and we had to wait and see. And then we made it to the second trimester to be met with the news that the placenta wasn't fully attached to the uterus anymore. And in the third trimester his growth scans showed that he wasn't growing as fast as they would hope for. I look back at who I was in 2019 and barely recognize me as me, because the truth was I was just terrified. I was not stoic or brave. To love at all is to be vulnerable. How scary it is to love these babies! What a fragile, miraculous gift.
