Overwhelmed

Recent pictures:

Cole and Tucker wrestle seriously like 24/7. It is actually quite amusing because Cole is pretty good at holding his own!

I absolutely HAD to put cole in this outfit! It was Tucker's little outfit for the winter my mom got when Tucker was Cole's age. I thought of it the other day and I just had to get a few pictures of Cole in it, and not to mention SNUGGLE with him in it!!! AHHH i could squeeze him to death in it! He is my teddy bear!

Remembering some Oldies:

This was tuck the week we brought cole home. He needed some camera time too : )

Sorry for the picture overload but, i just had to. Well, I am not quite sure if it is just the worst pms i have had in a long time or what, but i have just been an emotional wreck this past week! I have been uber grumpy and not to mention, on the verge of tears all of the time. So, Cole has been taking steps for like 2 weeks or so now, and it has been so exciting. It is amazing how early he is developing! He isn't quite 10 months yet and he is already trying to chase tucker down. We are so proud of his chubby little legs and his sweet little arms sticking out to keep his balance. He is our little acrobat. Anyways, I guess I just haven't really realized what a big step that is until tonight. While Ryan was at Young Men's tonight, i tried to get the boys to sleep and they both just cried for an hour. I tried to let them cry themselves to sleep because i was too exhausted emotionally and physically to deal with it. But when ryan got home, he helped with tucker and then i was able to help cole try to go to sleep. After playing with him for about 20 minutes, i got him to go to sleep. Then I got on the computer and went to babycenter.com to look up birthday party ideas for cole. On the main homepage, there was an article about "Your baby's first steps." So, obviously, it was meant for me to open it. And i did. After reading the first 3 sentences, i was in tears on the couch and then it turned into sobs! Read the first paragraph titled "Walking" http://www.babycenter.com/0_developmental-milestone-walking_6507.bc . I am just overwhelmed at how fast the boys are growing up. I think that that paragraph was too harsh for mothers to read! It was straight up telling me that pretty much my boys are going to be going to college when I wake up in the morning! It pretty much just said, since cole is walking now, he can pack his own lunch and will be riding the bus to school tomorrow because after school he will be going on his mission and then getting married. if that even makes sense. I just sobbed lol. My heart is full with the love i have for my two babies. I love them so much and my heart aches with how fast it goes! All i know is that i am sooo grateful to be sealed to my sweet babies and my hunky husband for eternity! I love them! Ah, after venting, I feel better. : )
