lovers and fussers

I know she seems like the sweetest little nugget from my pictures or even if you've seen her in person. The truth is, she's happier around a lot of people when there's plenty to look at and posting pics of her incessant fussiness isn't as gushy as these sweet, sweet BB captures. And when I'm most frustrated with her, it helps my mama heart to see her little face smiling at me like this. 

This morning (after several nights of waking every 2 hours) she pushed me to the breaking point (picture both of us crying on the bathroom floor while overseeing Fox's bath). This was followed shortly after by rest time for kids and quiet time for the adults, which included grown up conversation with my wonderful husband, hilarious (as usual) grexting, a surprise Starbucks and chocolate delivery from my Galentine, Katy, and some cathartic crocheting. Phew. This is real life and this is love y'all. Sticking with each other through the fussiest of days.
