We’re figuring out this travel + family + legacy life one step at a time, and bringing you with us on the journey. Here's a link to one of the many Pregnancy bot articles. No I want you guys to know this information is not real BUT.... I could definitely see this becoming a thing in the future so maybe it's just a little foreshadowing.

Trying to Stay Consistent

What's up everyone we're back again with a brand new episode. Pretty crazy this is our second one this month. It might not have been back to back weeks but no matter what like I promised you last time you'll at least get two episodes a month. Nothing too crazy has happened since last episode but Keanu is really starting to say a ton more words which is really cute. He's also going through the mine and no stage which is funny because he isn't 100% against sharing but you might have to ask him a few times. He's been avoiding his naps on the weekend like the plague and still doing this things where he tries to hit us when he get's upset but all things I guess you just work through as the parents of a toddler. Either way he's literally the cutest little kid ever and is just getting to be more and more fun to be around each day. It's all a learning journey and we know it will never be perfect. Appreciate you guys tuning in, please drop any advice you have for him wanting to hit us or pulling his own hair when he's upset in the comments below. Much love ya'll #KeepParenting
