its hard to believe bean has been with us 9 whole months. I cant even explain what these 9 months have meant to me, have meant to Jen. THey have been so wonderful, sometimes challenging yet so so rewarding. My hardest challenge as a father is trying to balance how i can provide financially for my family, yet still being able to spend time with them. It has been a juggling act, with constant support from Jen and frequent visits to work with the lil Bean mean the world to me. I will always stay motivated for this lil one. SO much love Ayla, so much love.

8 months (a little late)

beach.fun.sun. and sorrow. Right after Ayla’s 8 month bday our other sweet baby London passed away. It has been especially hard on our beautiful Jen, but Ayla has been so good for making it im sure just that much of a percent easier. Opal i think has tried her best as well not to be naughty. Ayla is progressing so fast. She is an official crawler and has quite the appetite for fruits and veggies!. Again i cannot say how amazed and proud i am of Jen for her job with Ayla and how well she is managing her class work as well. Enjoy….

This batch of images ranges from 2-4 weeks old. When she was born she weighed 5.9oz. The doctors said they would of been happy if she maintained birth week for the first couple weeks, and started gaining slowly after.Well Ayla has her dad’s appetite and has packed on some dairy weight. She now one month later is teetering on the 8lb. mark. I’m sort of jealous of the diet, not going to lie… #momraised #antibioticfree
