    Oh haha, we have the same kids. Just with different faces and different bodies, but holy heavens, the same huge Ileftthemalonefor3seconds mess. Theo is so tiny and I love his scrunchy newborn face. I agree about the fave, almost always the baby!

    #6! Seriously?! He totally has that "little old man but on an ADORABLE infant" thing going for him! What a skinny mini! I never had a baby so tiny. Jealous! Keep the Patton coming! I can never get enough. Gosh. Exclamation points are really fun, aren't they?!? I'm done.

      This is EXACTLY what I was thinking... Julia must be giving him lessons while you're not looking! :)

    Super cute kiddos. I must say, I miss the two year old stage. There is something so adorable about that age which I can't get enough of. 4 and 6 year olds now just have a totally different vibe, and newborns - well, I could actually eat them up too, but it took to my third one to really feel that way. :)

    Such beautiful chaos with your little ones! I'm impressed you made it almost a mile pushing a double stroller plus one strapped to you.
