Bringing a Baby to Disney

When we visited Disney World for the first time as a family, it was beyond overwhelming. I didn’t even know where to begin when starting to plan. Luckily for us, our first trip was piggy backed on my husbands’ work trip, so we didn’t have to figure out where to stay. Fast forward 3 years later, and we just got back from our 2^nd Disney World trip. I will say, for me, part of the fun in going to Disney is the planning. I LOVE IT! This was a big trip for us, and if you’re following my Trip Recap posts you’ll see in all the photos how much we actually packed into our 1 week trip. I have quite a few friends who are in the middle of planning their first Disney vacations with their families so I though I’d offer some unsolicited advice from a mom who’s done it twice with little kids and both times having a 1 yr. old in tow. For a lot of parents who often wonder if they should take their babies along on a Disney trip, I will say, this one is a personal choice. While we wouldn’t have it any other way than to bring the baby, some folks may not so much. Yes, babies are on their own schedules, and if not planned accordingly can surmount to a magnificent meltdown. Yes, babies travel with lots of stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. If you’re on the fence about bringing the baby along, here are a few of my personal reasons of why you should consider it too…

Babies are pretty much free for everything. Flight (if they’re sitting on your lap and don’t have their own seat), Food, entry to the parks, etc. Kids are free into the Disney Parks until the age of 3 so why not?
Family photo in front of Cinderella’s Castle + Baby= Happy happy memories, and family photos with everyone IN them. We don’t get a family photo with all of us in it too often. I didn’t want to look back at all the photos and always feel like we were missing one of us. Once again, that was our choice. Some people feel leaving the baby at home gives them more flexibility and freedom with their day.
Babies can go on almost every ride at Magic Kingdom. Yup, almost every one. This of course with the exception of Big Thunder Railroad, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Barnstormer, Stiches great escape, Tomorrowland Speedway, and the soon to be Dwarfs Mine Train. There are a couple dark rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion that may spook little ones, but both of our 1 year olds did fine on them. You as the parent know your baby well enough to make the judgment call about which rides may scare your little one. Oh, and I’m sorry, but who doesn’t love a good baby on the carrousel photo?
First haircut at Magic Kingdom. Baby boys (and girls) can get their first haircut at the Harmony Barbershop on Main Street. What a sweet memory that would be.
Kisses from the Princesses. If we didn’t bring our sweet little boy, how would he have ever gotten a kiss from Snow White??

1^st Mickey Ears! Every baby needs a set of Mickey ears, right?? Ok, ok. If you choose to leave your young one at home, you could always buy a pair and bring it back with you. It’s not like he/she will remember it anyway (wink).

Like I said, bringing a baby to WDW can mean a little more packing, a little more planning, a little more patience. But it can also make for some unforgettable family time and very special moments that you will likely treasure forever.

Disney World 2014- Day 2 All Things Princesses and Pirates

I have been waiting for this particular day for soooooo long. I made reservations at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique for Sam to get made up like a princess. We also had plans for Tanner to get made up like a pirate at The Pirates’ League. From there we were going to eat lunch with all our favorite princesses in Cinderella’s castle. Since going to all three of these things is such a big deal, I made invitations for the kids to open that morning when they woke up. I only have a photo of one invitation and it’s the one inviting Sam to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. I also made one for Tanner from Jack Sparrow, inviting him to the Pirates League, and one for all 3 kids inviting them for a royal feast (aka, Cindy’s castle). I got the idea for the invites from wdwprepschool.com. Click here to see them or download her version. The kids had no idea when they woke up that they had some special surprises in store, which made the morning that much more exciting. We were able to get into the Magic Kingdom before the rest of the public because we had early reservations. I would have taken more pictures of the castle except that they were doing major work on it so they’re were some very large cranes intruding on all my pictures. I have not one great photo of all of us in front of Cinderella’s castle. Oh well, I should have taken some anyways just to have, but I didn’t.. I guess we’ll just have to go back again (sigh)…soon 🙂

My beautiful castle picture…

The Bibbity Bobbity Boutique:

Sam wasn’t quite sure what she was in for but was being treated like royalty from the moment we walked in. They had her change into her Belle dress that I brought from home and sat her in a chair at her very own vanity. She waited very patiently for her fairy Godmother to do her hair and makeup.

Her fairy Godmother putting her hair up in a tiara just like a real princess 🙂

Putting on some lipstick.

Her reaction to seeing herself for the 1st time is priceless 🙂

Dad told her to give us some sass. I don’t think she knows what that is, but she pulled it off quite nicely.

Waiting patiently for rope drop. The calm before the craziness.

We got to see Peter Pan and Wendy fly by. I love this photo because they are ~~running~~ flying in perfect unison.

Pirate’s League: Tanner’s turn 🙂

As if he didn’t already took mischievous, those eyebrows killed me.

Aye aye Capt’n Hook!!

We battled it out a little.

The boys on Dumbo

That’s one way to get us all in the picture:)

Tanner got shy around Ariel and Sam came alive. Her first princess meet and greet and I think she could have talked to her all day!

Cinderella’s castle for lunch with all the princesses…

Where’s my girlfriend?

This reaction was for Miss Snow White herself 🙂

Well there you are 🙂

No captions needed…

Time for some rides 😉

Found a cast member whose name was also Sam. Because our Sam was wearing a “Happy Birthday” pin she gave the kids pixie dust in their hands. Told them to close their eyes and make a wish and then throw it up in the air! Love witnessing moments like these through their eyes 🙂

This capped off another magical day at the most magical place on Earth :))

Disney World 2014- Day 1 Epcot

Just got back from our Disney trip and it was nothing short of THE BEST TRIP EVER! We’ve been planning this trip for a really long time, and it seemed like it would never get here, but once it came it was such a whirlwind. We packed so much into that 1 week that we were there and the kids were absolute troopers. Not even sure how to recap everything about the trip without writing a book (maybe that will be my next project), but we’ll start with the surprise…

We knew from the beginning that we weren’t going to tell the kids about Disney until the day we were leaving. Considering this trip almost didn’t happen, it was a good move on our parts. However, it got so hard, planning and packing for the weeks leading up to the BIG reveal. I had suitcases in our bedroom for weeks (I started packing early), and luckily the kids never really noticed. We decided to have a personalized audio message made from Mickey Mouse telling the kids that they were going to Disney. We set up the 2 cameras up so we were hands free and they wouldn’t think it was weird that one of us was recording them. Plus, we were able engage with them, and that was the best part. We surprised Tanner once before when Sam was a baby, and he was in shock, plus he had never been to Disney before so he didn’t really understand. 3 years later, he gets it. Their sweet reactions were priceless. So glad we were once again able to capture this great memory on film to have forever.

We split our stay at two different resorts. When we landed in Orlando at 8:30pm, the magical express bus dropped us off at Port Orleans-French Quarter. We were all exhausted and hungry, so we had pizza in the room around 11pm and then it was off to bed.

Day 1: EPCOT

This was our first time visiting Epcot, and throughout the trip, it quickly rose to the top of our list for favorite parks. So glad we did this on our first day. We didn’t have any real plans and were able to just walk around at our own pace and be spontaneous. Although we were a little spoiled since the Flower and Garden Festival was going on.

We saw Pluto right away and had to get his autograph and some pictures.

As you can see, Sam’s skiddishness of characters has diminished since our last trip when she was a baby and was absolutely terrified.

Even Landry surprised me with his playfulness with them all. (Hey, Lan, I think Pluto wants his ear back :))

Chip and Dale

Tanner wanted to meet them, Sam did not (obviously).

After meeting Pluto and Chip and Dale, we moseyed our way toward Norway in the World Showcase. Not because we actually thought we would get to meet the “Frozen” sisters. Oh, no, no, no. Unless we wanted to stand in line for 3+ hrs.

Taking in all the pretty flowers and topiaries made into different characters. If there’s one reason to visit Disney in the spring, this is it.

Playing in the fountain :))

We hit up Maelstrom which I thought was going to be a little boat ride, and instead turned out to be the boat ride from Hell that went down a hill backwards, had what looked like scary trolls and polar bears that flashed their teeth at you and left our kids screaming till the very end and covering their eyes. First Ride! I can kiss that dream of getting them on other big kid rides goodbye. We tried to distract them afterwards with lunch and dessert from the Norway’s Kringla Bakeri. It worked. Just look at those goodies!

I’ll take that..and that..and that.

Before dessert we all shared a club sandwich. It was also delicious!

Walking through Mexico…

Trading our first ever Disney pin!

The rest of our day at Epcot, we rode Nemo and Friends, Soarin’ and talked with Crush the turtle. Unfortunately, we did not ever make it to Test Track, or any other ride at Epcot the rest of the trip. The kids loved Soarin’. They felt like they were really flying and even went on it twice! Crush the turtle was also a huge hit.

Just so we’re clear, this is the Nemo ride (which came after Maelstrom-dark and scary ride). Naturally this is now an instant reaction for the rest of the rides following suite.

Tanner got to talk with Crush!

“Hey, Little Dudes!”

Bathroom Break for everybody else. Landry didn’t think he was getting enough camera time out of the stroller. I agreed…SELFIES!!

I may have lagged a little behind the group, and found a margarita stand in the process…

This little guy swam past Tanner probably 30 times and literally waved at him every time.

Oh Canada…

England

TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK

Aye aye, Hook!

Look! It’s Pan!

Messing around in Mexico…

We walked around the World Showcase, and Tanner and I split a Mickey ice cream bar while the younger 2 took naps in the stroller.

Daddy enjoyed an ice cold beverage

It’s time to go…

A little bit of swim time at the pool

1 day down, 6 to go.

Disney Surprise is Almost Here!

Well, the day is almost here. I’ve been planning our Disney vacation for about a year now and have had an official countdown since day 222. The best part is, the kids have absolutely no idea. I refrained from telling people really early on, just to make sure the surprise stayed a surprise. Now that the trip is nearing, more people know, and hoping we can keep this a surprise for 19 more days!! When we decided that we were going to go to Disney this time around, we knew we wanted it to be a surprise. This trip almost didn’t happen, so I’m really glad the kids don’t know. Of course, it would also be fun if they knew and we had a countdown going, and could talk about what all we wanted to do when we got down there, but hopefully we’ll have other trips that we can save that for. I will say, for all the friends that know to keep this hush hush, our cover was almost blown by non other than the UPS guy! Of course, I had been expecting our magic bands in the mail and had been very careful about watching for the UPS guy in the late afternoon/early evenings when he normally shows up, but when a different guy showed up one morning as I was loading kids in the car and exclaimed for all to hear, “Are you going to Walt Disney World?” I think the look on my face pretty much said it all. I gently shushed him and he got the idea. Sorry to be rude Mr. UPS guy, but you threw me off my game a little. Luckily, the kids didn’t hear him (which I was sure they did) and the situation was quickly diverted. We’ve been working on a way to surprise the kids and I think we finally have that planned out, so now we wait…

On our last trip to Disney World, Tanner was a few months shy of being 5. Sam was almost 1. Although, Tanner knew who all the characters were, when we popped the surprise on him the morning we were leaving, he was in a little bit of shock. And while he was excited, he couldn’t really wrap his mind around “where” he was actually going. This time is going to be so different I think. I’m going to go out on a limb and make a pretty confident prediction, that the kids are going to be out of their minds excited. Tanner has been there, he remembers some stuff, but understands what it is. Our little Sami knows that all the princesses live where our girl, Cindys’ castle is, and although she doesn’t remember her last trip, I think she will be equally excited as Tanner! Although, it is a pretty overwhelming thing to tell kids, and I have seen surprise videos of kids that cry, but I don’t think that is what they’re going to do. We’ll find out soon! While we wait, I was looking through photos from our last trip and wanted to post some up.

First Day at Magic Kingdom!

Sam was Keeping a very close eye on these 2 characters…

Our Advent Calendar

I love Christmas! Love, love, love, love, love Christmas! The music, the baking, Santa…all that good stuff. This year I wanted to try something different and decided to make an advent calendar for the kids. The only advent calendar we ever had as kids were the little boxes with the windows that you opened and got chocolate out of. In true Kristin fashion, I decided on 3pm on December 1st, that yes, I was going to make an advent calendar. I headed out to Target to grab a couple of supplies since I had most everything at home that I was going to use. While I was wandering around in the holiday section, I stumbled upon the Christmas trees. I thought how fun would it be to surprise the kids and get them their very own Christmas trees and decorations for their rooms? SO FUN!! So I gathered what I needed and headed home to get to work on the Advent Calendar. I Incorporated the trees in the calendar so the note that they read in the bag for Day #1 was, “There is a surprise in your rooms!” (to find out what was in the rest of the treat bags keep reading). The excitement on their little faces were almost too cute to bear, and luckily I had the video camera rolling to capture there reactions. When they opened their doors and saw their very own trees all lit up, they were a little speechless at first. And then it happened. My darling 7 year boy, started yelling, “YES! YES! THIS IS WHAT I’VE ALWAYS WANTED! MY DREAM COME TRUE!” He had been asking me for the last couple of years to decorate his room with lights and we just never got around to it. If I would have known that he would have been this excited, I would have done this in years past. The emotion in his eyes and face were something I will never so real and sincere, it nearly brought me to tears. He was bursting with happiness like I’ve never seen from him, and it was one of those mommy moments for me that I will never forget! (also because I video taped it). I hope this is one of those childhood memories that he remembers forever as one of his favorites when he is grown because it sure was one of mine. Sam was also thrilled to pieces, but the best part about it was that when it came time to decorate, Tanner dragged his tree into his sisters’ room so they could decorate them together. It was so fun, and they’re so excited to be able to get their very own trees out every year now and add to them. Pics of this below…

My DIY Advent Calendar

I’ve had a few questions about our advent calendar, the most common one being, “What’s in the bags?” So, here’s how I made mine. I scoured the Internet and Pinterest for all things Advent Calendars. I was late in getting started on mine since it was Dec. 1, so I needed something quick, simple and cost effective. I decided on hanging paper bags with goodies in them on our little chalkboard wall that is between the kitchen and the mudroom/garage door.

Supplies:

Twine
Laundry clips
paper bags
whatever is going in the bags
hammer/nails

This project to me about an hour from start to finish and here is the process…

First, I drew out the month of December on paper and filled in every day with what was going in each bag, so I didn’t double up on something or forget something. Once I was satisfied, I cut little squares out of scrapbook paper so I could write little notes on them. I gathered all my goodies and started filling bags. Of course I could have made them cuter, but I didn’t have time.

Of course we have to make them perfectly level…

Scary Photo Bomber!

TA-DA!!

Examples of goodies I put in the bag: Halloween candy, candy canes, animal crackers, fruit snacks, unopened Pez dispensers they got last year for Christmas, a couple of crafts from the $1 bin, stickers.
I tried to use what I had at home already and only picked up a couple of cheap goodies at the store for fillers.

Some examples of what I put in bags without treats; mostly they were notes for doing a Xmas craft, doing something as a family or doing something for someone else. Here are a few examples of what ours say.

– write letters to Santa
– make snowflakes to hang around the house
– watch Sound of Music as a family, ~~and clap as mom sings along to all the songs~~
– go on a carriage ride
– gather unused toys and things and donate
– pass out teacher gifts
– bake cookies and hand out to neighbors (with a note clearly stating, ” EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. MADE BY LITTLE PEOPLE”
– watch Polar Express
– Drive around and look at lights
– sleep under the Xmas tree (this one may be a big hit. It will probably turn into, “hang out under the Xmas tree until mom and dad decide it’s time to sleep in our own beds,” in which case there will most likely be tears).
– make Xmas ornaments
– make Xmas cards and send out to family and friends
– (Xmas Eve) open 1 gift, our tradition

So, that’s it! Simple and quick! Also, pleased that our Advent calendar doubles as a place to hang holiday cards, since I don’t currently have a specific place for them it is perfect!!

Landry wanted in on the action…Holy Cow, Look at that mess!!! Landry, naughty…

Like I said, nothing special about these bags

Sam’s pouting because she just realized that she doesn’t get to open Bag #1 🙂

Decorating their trees together

Merry Christmas!!

Landry 8 Month Photos…UP, UP and AWAY

I’ve been pondering this idea around for a while now of somehow constructing a hot air balloon for Landry’s 8 month pics. Basically, I’m obsessed with hot air balloons (and babies) so I couldn’t think of something more fun. Since Landry just started sitting it’s the perfect time! We drove out to Mike’s hunting spot right before sunset on a Sunday in mid October, but the wind had picked up a little in the afternoon, and after getting every one dressed and ready and out to the country, we quickly realized that our poor little balloon was not going to fair very well, and was probably going to blow away. So home we went (defeated, and sad). Thankfully I have a very understanding and accommodating husband because by Monday, the very next day, our hot air balloon was losing it’s spunk and it had to be the day. I had a very tiny window..the balloon was deflating (and that puppy cost $15 to inflate!), and seeing as it was mid October, it’s unlikely I’m going to get another day like this. Since daylight is limited (and we were losing it quickly), Mike left work 10 min early (gasp!) so we could do a TAKE 2! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect or still, and while the balloon was, eh, I could think of a million things I could change with it…my kids were perfection. We even chased a coyote away from our spot. Couldn’t have done it without my mom and Mike, trying to make a baby smile and rounding up kids. We got some “forever” shots, and it made for a memorable hour right before sunset! And to make the evening even more perfect, as we were loading up the cars we saw 2 REAL hot air balloons in the sky! Every day since the kids have asked me when we are going to go back to “the field” to take pictures! So glad they had fun, because that’s all that matters in the end! Still going through the 500 pics I took, but here are my favorites!

Happy 8 Months little man!!!

UP, UP AND AWAY…

Love his little baby toes peeking out of the basket!!

Being Showered with kisses!

Going somewhere buddy?

HOT AIR BALLOONS FOR REAL!!

A Welcoming Front Door

Monday I shared my color swatches that we were considering for our front door. Of course nobody wants a “before” pic if there isn’t an “after” photo. And if you’re anything like me I like a good tutorial to go along with someone’s sharing of anything. This was a pretty easy project and quick. I painted the door in one afternoon. Our door started off beige, and in desperate need of a makeover. Since I didn’t want to paint our options on the door, I instead took a bunch of swatches of each color we were considering and taped them on the door so we could see what they looked like. Once we picked a color I went back and grabbed a small can of paint and a short time later? WA-LA! A brand new door!

As for the color we chose, it is Behr’s “Jamaican Bay”. I couldn’t take my eyes off this color and it just makes me so darn happy when I see it, so it had to be. Sam is upset that it isn’t pink, but I can’t win them all. Mike seems to like it so that’s all that matters.

Here’s what I used:

1. angled 2 1/2 inch brush and a 1 inch brush for the nooks and crannies.

2. a sander- fine

3. Behr’s Jamaican Bay in exterior satin finish with primer (2 coats). The nice man at the counter suggested a satin finish and he seemed to know what he was talking about.

ALL DONE!! AIN’T SHE PRETTY?

I can’t help to smile when I pull up to my house now! Before my front door said, “I’m boring.” Now it says, “LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!” I love the color so much, I may just paint the inside of it…and the garage door leading into the house too. The possibilities are endless! Did I inspire you? Do you have a fun and fresh front door? If so, I want to see it.

A Splash of Color

So, for a few months now I’ve been pondering painting our front door. The front of our house is east facing so in the summer the morning sun can be excruciating so I’ve been waiting for some milder weather before taking on this small project. Right now I have taped up a bunch of different paint swatches and periodically go outside at different times of the day to see how they all look. Like all the colors we’ve painted in our house, or bedrooms mainly I should say, once I get an idea in my head nobody can sway me from it. Like the morning I woke up thinking I wanted to paint ginormous navy and white stripes in Tanner’s room, Mike tried to talk me out of it, but it was, eh..too late! I’ve gotten excited about it and no matter how crazy it seems to anybody else it’s happening.

This time, it’s a little different. I’m painting our front door which is visible to everybody on the outside. I want it to stand out but I don’t want it to be an eyes sore for neighbors (yes, I care about their feelings too). The outside of our house is a rich brown color and I want to go BOLD with a much cooler contrasting color. Am I pulling out colors out of our stone? Noooo. Am I going against all the laws of decorating which this choice? Yessssss. But I want our door to make a statement. Since we’ll never be painting our vinyl siding on the house, the door is my only hope for any change (color-wise) that I’ll be making. If we hate it, we can always change it.

Right now our shutters are a maroon-ish color and I’m not a fan. They look fine, but when the door is painted, they will not, so those will be changed as well. We’re going to replace them since we need only 4, but for now they may actually be painted for a quick temporary fix.

Here’s what our door looks like today….

The next 2 days look nice so hoping to actually get some painting while it’s still warm and sunshiny!

Happy Monday!

AZARKS-ARZARKS-OZARKS

If you don’t understand my chosen title for this blog it’s okay, you wouldn’t unless you were here everytime Tanner tried to tell someone where he was going on vacation. We’re going to the AZARKS (ponders the word that came out of his mouth)…ARZARKS…ORZORKS…wait for it…OZARKKS!! WE’RE GOING TO THE OZARKS!! There it is. It’s not his fault, he gets his confusion from his mother. She booked this trip and the whole time thought she was taking everyone to her old home state of Arkansas (silly lady). Oh, and in case you’re wondering, Lake of the Ozarks is NOT in Branson either. I know, I was just as shocked. With all this confusion it’s amazing we all made it here with no problems (Mike drove).

This is our last (and first) family hurrah before school starts for Tan man in 1 week! 1st GRADE…I’m not ready for this. While I knew the kids would enjoy staying here on the lake in our somewhat cabin-like room, I’m going to be honest, the first night was not easy. Landry did not settle down for more than an hour at a time until about 4am. Once he finally fell asleep, a monsoon hit (not exaggerating) for the remainder of the dark morning hours so I think it’s safe to say Mike and I have had about 5 hours of combined sleep over the past 2 nights. We’re tired. But we’re not going to let that detour us. The wasps and bees around this place are giving me a heart attack, and it’s a little too woodsy for my liking. I like to see what I’m dealing with and the trees hide what may be lurking. Landry was screaming last night and we couldn’t just take him out of the room to walk him around in the dark woods (spiders, ticks, spiders, etc…), so it was really hard to get the kids to sleep and then stay asleep when he was crying all night.

Day1:

The kids were all excited to wake up and look out at the lake. Sam went on the waterside at the pool about 100 times and Tanner went twice, and 0 if you count the times I carried him up the stairs and onto to slide kicking and crying. He loved it both times but couldn’t push back his fears of the slide by going by himself. Call me mean. I call it, “prepping him for the real world.” Sometimes in life someone’s going to gently nudge you down a slide. You may not want to at first, but if you can push your fears aside and make the plunge, you might actually really enjoy it. Oh, and I did go with him if that makes a difference. Hoping he’ll do it again tomorrow…by himself. The boys fished while the younger two napped and then Sam joined them. The most excited I’ve seen them was when the ducks came over and they got to feed them honey nut cheerios. I tried to snap as many pics as I could from our balcony so I didn’t get any close ups.

Swimming all morning >>>

Look at all the boats!…hmmmm

Time to go fishing…

I noticed this after I was going through photos the next day. Mike had fake teeth in and kept trying to get Sam’s attention…it didn’t work 🙂

Day 2:

We promised the kids we’d do the indoor water park at our resort today even though I think it may be chillier tomorrow and rainier too but we went anyway. Nobody would go down the water slides. I’m pretty sure I spotted the only wasp that happened to make it’s way indoors as well. We took a break from the water park and went to the outside pool in the afternoon. The bees and wasps were horrible. Seriously, why can’t those things just leave me alone!! My anxiety was at an all time high on this trip, but I think it’s safe to say we all managed to salvage some fun. Sam fell asleep on our 5 minute drive to dinner. Then it was a couple of chapters from Charlotte’s Web before bed.

At least somebody’s safe from the bees..

In the car for 5 seconds..

Day 3:

Rain rain, go away!! It rained most of the day. We last minute decided to take the kids to see Planes movie on opening day. Tanner was so excited, he brought his “planes” with him to the theater. We finally got to the window only to find out that the guy in front of me bought the last 4 tickets! Needless to say, Tanner was pretty disappointed. Situation quickly diverted as we headed into the nearest ice cream shop. We ran in the pouring rain to our cabin and the kids giggled and thought that was so fun! We fished again, fed the ducks and geese again and swam…again.

Last morning here: Snapped a few sweet pics of the kids before we left. Even a few ducks waddled over to say goodbye 🙂

Our Sweet little Landry Boy

Well, since I’m finally starting to come out of that “having a newborn” fog I wanted to post some pictures of our littlest peanut. Wow, 5 months (this used to read, “3 months…and then 4 months) really flies when you’re sleep deprived. I feel like by the time they’re 3 months old you start to ask yourself where the time goes because it was only seconds ago that they were born but the truth is, for me anyway, that I’ve been walking around in this fog for his entire life which is probably why I cant remember him being a newborn already (only kidding…sort of).

Here are some pics of our sweet boy. I’ve been working on this short little post for over two months so I’m just going to post it because he would turn 1 by the time I finish it. Coming to the realization that with 3 kids I will forever start things that most likely won’t ever get finished. I’ll start with the birth day and a few hospital pics for now…#small victories
