Christmas Expectations

I love Christmas Time. It's my absolute favorite time of the year!!! I truly look forward to future Christmas' with Liam when he can really experience the magic of it all. I tried to show him all of the whimsical ornaments as I decorated the tree (Yes, it's up!) but he was more interested in his bouncer.

Very excited about the holidays this year. Probably clear since my tree is already up. Planning on doing my bedroom too this year. Kinda stumped about part of my living room decor but I'm sure I'll find something for that darn end table. I'm going to attempt icicle lights on the house this year. Probably gonna be pissed excited once it's done.

I'm really trying not to set expectations this year when it comes to the holidays. I am the worst about having these ideas of what I want to do and accomplish each year and am always disappointed when it doesn't happen. We have family Christmas pictures and I was really anxious about it. What if he cries the whole time? What if he doesn't smile? Again expectations. Releasing expectations is helping with the anxiety and I'm starting to look forward to it. I'm hoping to continue to let go and just enjoy (all things).

Hoping for peace and enjoyment this season. Happy Holidays!!! 

Almost forgot...my tree :) Close up pictures to come!

Happy 6 Months!

Liam is growing so fast. So hard to believe he was born 6 months ago today. He has the best personality! He is starting to sit up and he likes to roll over and over. Soon he will crawling. Looking forward to the holidays. It will be his first Thanksgiving and Christmas! So many cute Christmas outfits to put him in, lol.

Then..

NOW!

The first time we held him :)

Hard to Believe I Was Waiting for You

Six months ago tomorrow, God blessed Rhett and I with the best gift we could possibly receive. It's so hard to believe I was in the delivery room at this time waiting patiently and enjoying that Arbys sandwich, lol. I know I had the easiest labor and delivery on the planet. I have thanked God for the LITERALLY pain free experience. Thank you everyone for the prayers for Liam and I. The pictures below are of the night that changed my life.

Dear Liam,
Tomorrow is your 6 month old birthday. Your journey is just beginning. You can not even begin to imagine the love everyone has for you. Your Mommy and Daddy love you more than you will ever know. Your smiles are the light of our day. We think your little huffs in the backseat are precious and you are the best little jumper ever. You love your puppy brother blankie and your thumb. We have already been through so much together but more is yet to come. Know we will always be here for you no matter what. Keep growing big and strong. Looking forward to the memories.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

So glad I had Rhett and Mom by my side. I know Dad would have been in the room if he could have. Thanks Meme and B for coming so early. 

Cuteness Oh My

Am I allowed to do two posts in one night? I have so much cuteness I want to share. We love bath and pajama time. His precious Koala towel and train pajamas both were gifts from one of my favorite 6th grade teachers I work with. Thanks Nannie!

Happy Halloween!!

First off, I love to dress up! One of the fun things about having a baby is dressing Liam up too. And what better night to dress him up than Halloween! This year Liam was a baby dinosaur :) Rawr!

How excited and cute is he?!

Mommy and Daddy ate his cuteness up...

Not only did I have Halloween but we celebrated homecoming and red ribbon week so we had dress up days all week for various themes. Did I mention I love to dress up?! Some of the various days included Nerd Day and Future Career Day (Yes, I want to be a wizard when I grow up!!!!)

Oh yes, and camo day. Again, had to dress Liam up too!
