I’ve been thinking about this idea for a while, but was afraid to post it because at a glance it is a bit morbid. But stick with me.
It’s a life list for the babies. Or perhaps better known to you…a bucket list.
Something about 7 month old babies having a life list might not sit well with some.
But I made them a promise.
And to me…making the most of life isn’t depressing at all. It’s a fun challenge. No matter your age or circumstance.
I’d like to keep up with some of the fun things the babies are doing that can be marked off of their “life list”. They are slowly becoming more alert and less fragile. …And there are just some things all little boys should do.
For starters, let’s get caught up on some things they’ve checked off so far:
- Capture your mama’s heart
- Be told you look like your daddy
- Snuggle with your big brother
- Go for a family walk
- Take a road trip
- Go on a wagon ride
Ok…so I didn’t say they would ENJOY every activity. (Maybe we’ll pick a less windy day for our next walk). Just that as the temperature is rising, so is our readiness to start having some fun moments and new experiences. We already have plans for their first swim and first time to the beach. And I have a few other items planned for the coming months.
If you have ideas, or something you would like to help them do (locally or when we visit your area) let me know! This will be a growing list. Hopefully it will take us many years, and include more checks, more smiles, and more memories than anyone could have ever imagined.

Melody, I love seeing your posts and I think a life list is perfect for your babies! I think of them often and pray for both boys and your family as a whole. I work with
A and we think the world of your family. Todd and I have twins also and I know how very special that bond is. Perhaps the next time you come to Kentucky, we can make them Junior Deputies and K too of course! It’s just a thought. Please let me know if that is something you would like. Have a blessed day and please know I am inspired by your posts. I have followed since your twins’ birth.
Just a couple ideas….laying in the grass on a summer’s eve, go to the county fair to get the smells and sounds of the animals – (a goat may even try to lick some bare baby toes), and feet in a sand box.
I’m a stranger from Ohio who loves the updates on the boys. I came across the blog via facebook from a college friend. I pray for them often and I am super happy to see the grasping video. Now to look forward to him pulling mom’s hair!
All of your little guys are adorable.
Melody I always enjoy seeing pictures and hearing what is going on with you all! You all are in our prayers. If I had known you were in Ky. I would have called and seen if it would have been ok to come by for a few moments! Just keep the life list going because you will always have those memories! Love you! May God bless you all!
