these days

yawns from jay, sleepy eyes from sheila + busy hands from eli,

looks like our kind of day.

i was going through eli's pictures for his blessing this weekend + stumbled across these.

he's so little, the room is all ours + i remember in that moment,

having a, i need more than a mental image to remember this, thought.

dirty clothes right behind jay, with a load already in the wash.

a box of diapers purchased what felt like yesterday, already out.

a burp rag on the ground because spit up was a think of eli's existence 

+ a pup that probably was getting as much sleep as i was...which was nothing.

these were the days.

slow, simple + growing days.

good days.

i know these kind of days will blur into my past someday.

shoot, it already feels like a life time ago, him being maybe 6 weeks?

so i don't want to forget those empty diaper boxes, yawns 

+ the slew of toys used to distract our active baby.

good days for sure.
