A photo of each of my kids every week in 2014

Feeding Campbell her first bottle.  Kev has always given our kids their first bottle but Miss E was eager to help.
Apparently I have not been taking many pictures of poor Mason.  This is all I have of him.  Reunited with our best friends in Oklahoma.
 Campbell had her first flight.  She slept the entire way.  Such a champ.
 And just because I thought this was cute, I included it too. :)

Elliott is Campbell's constant companion, her little mother.  I've been so thankful for her help. :)
This boy has been obsessed with this puzzle.  He put it together maybe a million times until he finally mastered it.  I felt so proud of his accomplishment.
 She got to celebrate 10 years of marriage with mommy and daddy in Chicago!  Such a fun time.
And I had to include a rare picture of all 3.  These pictures are VERY hard to come by.

A picture a week

Inspired by this friend, I decided to try to post a weekly photo of each of my kids in 2014.  Obviously, I am behind...like 8 weeks behind...but I'm going to try to do a little catch up.  I might not have a picture of each kid every week and they might be poor quality iphone pics, but we'll take what we got.  I think this will help me blog more consistently.  Here we go...

 Elliott and I love to bake together although it is slightly exhausting because she wants to do EVERYTHING on her own.  However, I love these sweet moments spent just the two of us.
 Terrible picture, but Mason and Campbell went to their first movie in the theater.  We went to Frozen as a family and it was so.much.fun.
Oh my sweet girl!  I love when they can sleep anywhere.

My smallest valentine

I have been such a terrible blogger.  Something about being a mom to 3 kids 3 and under...I don't have time to use the bathroom by myself.  Seriously.  However, I took these pics of #3 on Valentine's Day and HAD to share, because she is the cutest.thing.ever.  Can't get enough of her cuteness.  So I thought you should enjoy the pictures as well.
 True statement.
She is such a sweet, easy-going baby.  She rarely cries and is a smiley little girl (especially to her mommy).
 She nurses every 3 hours and usually wakes up once at night.  She has slept until 5:30am but I would almost prefer a 3 or 4am feeding because she goes right back to sleep and I get a little extra sleep afterwards.  She's not the best napper.  She usually naps about 45 minutes between feedings, but will go back to sleep when I hold her.
 Work those neck muscles, girl.
 She loves "talking."
 She loves her bouncer and sits in it frequently.  She also likes being carried in the Moby although I don't do it all the time.  
 She is NOT ticklish...at ALL.  I keep trying but she looks at me like I'm crazy.
 I go back to work in 1 week and although I'm excited in some ways, it breaks my heart a little to think about leaving her (and the other kids, obviously).
Life is SO crazy with 3.  We have good days, and days I feel like I might go crazy.  Sometimes it's hard not to feel stir crazy, being stuck in the house with 3 young kids, freezing temperatures for weeks and over 2 feet of snow that just.won't.melt.  But I wouldn't change it for the world.  Very thankful!  Sorry for the picture overload.  I just couldn't choose.
