Christmas spirit?

Whoa what a weekend!

So I don't know about you, but every year during the holidays I am a complete crazy person. 25 days of Christmas countdowns, fully booked schedule, rushing here & racing there..!! To be completely honest.. I love it, I really do! This year however, it just wasn't the case! This year with a new baby in the house I couldn't get it together enough to go full on crazy Christmas lady! I'm feeling like total crap about this.. But it is what it is!  

I will say my wonderful husband picked up where I was lacking and staged our elf, Michelangelo every morning!! I LOVE elf on the shelf..I've been doing it with cole since he was 3.. Like FULL ON crazy! I can't believe it's December 21st and I've done the elf [drum roll] a whopping 3x.. Am I a horrible mom?? 

Ugh.. Next year will be different! I hope!

We DID go see Christmas lights & Santa .. That's something right?? 

Soooo I will say that even though I may not have built a gingerbread house this year, or went to a Christmas show, or made homeade ornaments, or anything else on my list.. I DID complete all my shopping AND wrapping in a timely manner! Yes that's right.. Between Black Thursday shopping & this weekend I am COMPLETELY done & It feels ohhhh so good. 

I had such a fun two days shopping with Finn and my mama! I bundled up the baby and was out of the house by 830 on Saturday!! We took daddy coffee at work and picked nana up for a day of fun!! We were out for hours! Brad and I order food in and binge watched breaking bad all night.. It was seriously such a fun weekend! Coledon was gone for the night so I was able to wrap all the kids gifts and hide them! :) Today I was an ALARM-FREE day #hallelujah so needless to say.. What a great Sunday! 

So in closing..I went to target 3x in one weekend, stood in countless lines, ate fast food, breastfed in multiple parking lots, wrapped all my Christmas gifts AND my moms.. It feels soooo good! 

Finn slept for almost 2 straight hours in my Solly wrap during the second Target trip of the weekend! I seriously adore this wrap, and this little elf. #tiredmama 

 Eeek!! I am so excited for Finns first Christmas and too see Coles eyes light up on Christmas morning! 4 days :)

two months already?

How can this be? My little baby is already two months old, I know they all say it, but it's true.. Time really does fly.

Finn had his two month visit this week, everything is a-okay. We've had some issues with spitting up CONSTANTLY after feeding and I thought for sure they were going to say it's due to my diet.. But nope! Little giant is growing at an above average rate and they're not concerned one bit. He weighed in at 13lbs 14 oz, & is 24 inches long, he is going to be tall just like daddy!  

Of course I had to take a traditional doctors visit picture ^^

He was all smiles until the nurse came back to administer his shot vaccines. He was not a happy camper!

 He has been a very sleepy babe the last day because of it, and has not allowed me to put him down, cuddle time 24/7..which I absolutely love. Besides.. There's plenty of time to finish Christmas shopping, wrap everything, & clean the house right?? I think my husband would disagree, but for now my head is remaining in the clouds and I'm gonna keep loving on my little Finn. He did get some tummy time in today, and ive managed to get lots of smiles out of him! 

"I tell you what.. This tummy time thing is exhausting mom" 

Anyway..

I can't believe Christmas is 5 days away.. Hubby and I are wrapping gifts all night and watching Christmas movies while our big brother is away, so that's one thing I can check off my list! Happy Friday!  

Let's Get it Started

Blogging? How about.. Storing my crazy amount of photos in one nice, neat place.. That sounds more like it! I have no idea what I'm doing, I start most days out around 6 with coffee and a crazy puppy, Lucy.. Also known as the chocolate devil! Next is breakfast and getting cole ready for school.. Which is always a real treat, he's the polar opposite of a morning person! Some time during this morning "routine" if you will.. My even littler, little man, Finn decides to wake up and join us. My mornings are chaotic but I love them. In fact, my life in general is complete chaos. I thrive in chaotic situations, my husband on the other hand.. Crumbles. He despises chaos, I truly think it makes us compatable. Anyway so, I'm "so busy" right? Why am I blogging [picture hoarding] you ask? For fun! This mama needs to let some steam out from time to time, and I enjoy writing so why not! BONUS my lil family can be documented along the way, everyone wins! So here goes nothing..
