Spent some of the night looking back at all the old photos I've taken of Littlerei and LittleRrei, and how honestly they aren't even that old. Littlerei is only three, these pictures of LittleRrei are only a year old. And yet, I find myself feeling nostalgic for certain stages of their development and the times Mewrei, the boys, and I all enjoyed as they are growing up.

Littlerei's first year, first three years even, went by super slow. He went from such a small baby to a straight up little boy and we cannot believe it. We cherish every moment of it we can.

With LittleRrei, it seems almost as if he was born, and then bam he was one. This past year FLEW by. I feel like I've had less time to spend with him individually like I did with Littlerei, and it is because having two kids is a lot more different than having one. LittleRei is starting to be a little toddler, and looking back a year ago I'm astounded at how chubby he was as a baby. I didn't remember. I must be super tired.

We've all been super tired, raisin' these boys. But it is the most rewarding and wonderful experience we've ever had and so so worth it.
I've never felt so tired in my life, with two sons and pregnant with Mewrei and I's first little girl.
But I've also never been so fulfilled and happy in my life.

Picture above is a sketch I thought of, sometimes when I get up in the night to feed LittleRrei his bottle, we both fall asleep on each other, briefly, before I snort myself awake and tuck him back into his bed.

Man, I just love being a mom.
It means so much to me, more so than my passion for art.
If I could give up my art ability to have just one extra day with my kiddos, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Everyone says they grow up fast.
Just words until you experience it.
They are growing up so fast.
