Project 365

I'm afraid I'm late on the bandwagon, but I've been seeing a lot of "#project365" posts after pictures and curious what it meant.  I googled it and discovered it's an initiative to take a picture every day for a year so that by the end of the year you have "a year in review" so to speak.  I thought that was a clever idea, especially since babies change so much in a year.  I can't say that since reading it I've been extremely diligent about taking a picture a day, but I've tried to remember... (habits are hard to form)  Here's our week in review:

 



 On a walk with Boone, Alden peeks out from the baby carrier.  While it usually puts him to sleep right away, this day Alden was determined to watch the scenery go by...












Alden had a little accident and I had forgotten to replace his spare outfit in the diaper bag but thankfully Mom had this outfit from when I was a baby handy.  Kinda looks like a dress, but better than going home shirtless.












Grateful for this sign, and the opportunity to use it.

On a walk again, this time in the stroller.










He fought naps all day, and although I really don't want to give into him, I really want him to sleep too.. so in a moment of weakness, I let him sleep on me.  You can't quite tell in the picture, but he has a pacifier in his mouth and he's gripping it.  This is after a long crying session with intervals of me going in to soothe him only to have him cry again.  I am happy to say that 5 hours later he took a 4 hour nap in his crib.  (He probably slept that long because he fought all his previous nap times!)
