7 months...


I can't believe it's been 7 months since my sweet baby boy has been born.  It's CRAZY!  Hubby and I are making our annual plans for the next few months and it's crazy to think about them b/c I JUST did it... I was JUST pregnant with him. lol  These 7 months have flown by and it's bittersweet.  He is just getting more and more fun and such a little stud!

At 7 months he:

- sleeps through the night
-Loves to suck that little thumb
-has 2 bottom teeth 
-wears size 3 diapers
-wears 9-12 months
-hates shoes
-hates his car seat 
-is struggling to eat baby foods, but we shall keep trying
-loves his mama :)
-learning to kiss


I look at his sweet little face and his beautiful brown eyes and I'm so thankful for him!  He will always be the best surprise ever!

2015

I can't believe it's another new year!  I love when the year begins, there's so much hope and excitement for all the new possibilities!

2014 was an amazing year!  2014 started with us in our new house.  Hubby has been working hard to fulfill his dreams.  He did several books shows this year, and has been working to promote/sell his book.  It's been so amazing to watch him living his dream. :)  He also started working on book 2 of his trilogy.  Which brings the excitement for 2015, book 2 should come out at the end of the year! :)  Doesn't seem like much to people, but it's a HUGE deal in this house!

2014 also brought us the biggest and most amazing surprise in our lives.  In January we found out we were having a sweet baby boy.  We spent a ton of time redoing several rooms of the house, preparing a nursery and more. When June arrived, we anxiously awaited his arrival.  With our due date being June 14th, we just played the waiting game.  On June 6th, I experienced labor for the first time (girls were scheduled c-sections).  I labored for over 10 hours and at 8:12 am on a Friday morning, my beautiful, amazing son was born!

2014 brought big sister's kindergarten graduation, her first time playing soccer, starting 1st grade, learning to read and her favorite, becoming a big sister again :) It brought baby sister, learning her letters and numbers, becoming a big sister, falling in love with making puzzles, coming out of her shell (a little bit), and more... Looking forward to what the new year will bring!

So now we begin a new year, with lots of plans!
I don't believe in New Year resolutions.  I think they're fun, but can be a bit overwhelming and depressing b/c planning something for 12 months is just ridiculous. lol  But I do have some plans/goals that I'd like to work towards.
1. Read my Bible daily. Sounds silly, but I still struggle with this, mainly finding the time.
2. Exercise/diet.  I'd still like to lose 15-20 lbs still.. And I LOVE food, so it makes it hard. lol
3. Hang out with friends more.  I am a huge introvert, I LOVE staying home.  So I want to make it a point to open up my home more and have friends over at least 2x a month.

So that's it.  Other than being a better wife/mom, which should always be a goal :)
