Today Kaia is one month and we are slowly (ever so slowly) settling into life with two little ones. I have many thoughts on the past month, the most prevalent of which is, "Where did the time go?" During Zoey's first year of life it seemed I lamented each passing moment, feeling desperate to hold on to each of them so my baby would stay a baby. She did not. With Kaia it seems I have not had one spare second to sit and lament anything, let alone passing moments. Phone calls go unanswered, emails go unread, naps go unslept, yet I feel like I have no free moments. So, without much ado, Kaia turns a month old and time keeps slipping away. WHY, oh, WHY does this make me so sad? I can't change it, I know, but I really feel like I am grasping to hold on to something that cannot be held.
With all that said, Zoey is the best at getting Kaia to smile.
And, lastly, Brian and I were able to get out for dinner one night while my mom and sister were here to help (more on all our help to follow shortly).

So dang cute Dalene - I can't stand it!
Even though you may not realize it, I believe you are holding onto these moments! They will always be with you - and you will be able to call on them when you really need too. Don't be sad, cherish this time, but I am sure the best has yet to come! Love you! XX
Both of your girls are so cute!!! Keep the pics coming!
SHE. IS. DELICIOUS. I want to hold her and smell that yummy neck.
I miss those cheeks!!!!
Oh - and Maya announced this morning she wanted to share her Easter candy with Zoey. Go figure.
Those pictures are so precious. I can't believe it's been 1 month already. I agree, it does make it sad sometimes how fast they grow. I'm seriously missing Gloria when she was a newborn, even though I love her more now. It's hard to explain but I think you get it.
It is maddening that time slips away so fast when they are little! Just take lots of pictures to try and capture all those little moments.
They are both too cute!!
Those smiles are just about the cutest things I've seen! What a great sisterly bond already ;)
Dalene!!!
Congrats on your little sweet girls! I just had my fourth baby just a few days before you had Kaia. David is his name, born on the 18th. I agree that time is flying by! Your girls are so cute and sweet! Congrats and many blessings to you and your family.
You too sure do make cute kids!!! I want to meet her so bad, give her kisses and hugs from auntie court. LOVE YOU GUYS
Look at those smiles!!! How cute.
As much as I didn't like getting up in the night... once I was up - I loved holding my little baby, it was just the two of us. I miss those days. (But - sleep is great too!)
I totally agree... time goes WAY to fast! I blinked and now my baby is driving. I know each stage is great... but I LOVE your stage now. Enjoy!
