Henry Shenanigans Part 6

This kid!  

He's pretty much obsessed with his sister. He loves being near her and giving her kisses and he's becoming softer with her, although we still have some room for improvement :) I'll set her down and then magically he's right next to her! I think Rose girl is slowly starting to warm up to him too. I've taken a million pictures of the two of them, but here are some recent ones that perfectly exhibit his love for his sister! 

I set Rose girl down to play on her mat and then left to go grab a water bottle. I came back to this!

He's always looking over at her like "this is the best, right?!" She needs some convincing I think :)  

Sharing in some tummy time together-ness! (She looks much closer to the edge of the couch than she is, no worries people- she's safe!)  

Here he was talking to her, even using hand movements! It was adorable!  

Then we just needed to lay by her. 

And then naturally we had to get even closer 

I think Rosie is starting to like this guy :)  

You Just Get Better

Lately life feels nuts. 

Kyler was called as the Bishop of our LDS ward at the end of May, and then Rosemary was born one week later. I've also been getting some crazy migraines and had to find a new medication that worked since my typical kind can't be taken while nursing. (Thankfully I've now found some things to help!) However, things are becoming more manageable and I am slowly starting to feel a little less crazy! 

This summer has been interesting for us, but I've also learned that pretty much everyone is going through a crazy time in one way or another. We all have hard things going on. We are all growing and learning and stumbling and falling and trying our best to get back up again. Life is tough, but so are we!

Kyler once got some great advice from someone he met in college. It always gives me comfort whenever I feel like a chicken with my head cut off (which is a common occurrence lately ;) ).

"Life doesn't get any easier, you just get better at it."

I really think that's true. We get better at managing things or letting go of unnecessary  stresses. We develop skills and tactics to help us get through different stages. We realize our limitations and when we need to ask for help. We depend more on God and realize we can't control everything. Life goes on, and we get better. 

Just throwing that out there in case anyone is feeling hopeless. Don't be. With God, it ALWAYS gets better. :)
