Thanksgiving

Aaron is definitely my child in that he loves attention, so he really loved Thanksgiving.  He spent all day being held by lots of people who love him. We had lunch at my parents house. Aaron sat next to the table in his rock and play, cooing and chattering during the prayer and during lunch. 

My family thinks that Aaron looks like Sammy from the side.
We all watched the dog show together. I was betting that a poodle would win but sadly that was not the case. Sammy and I actually got to sit next to each other on the couch while someone else held Aaron. (I swear Aaron has a sensor that goes off every time we sit next to each other. He'll be dead asleep and we'll sit by each other and he'll immediately wake up and start crying.)
 
We watched Magnum PI after that and Sammy admitted that it's actually good :) 

We went over to Sammy's parents for dinner where everyone fought to hold him and Aaron got to play on a play mat his grandma bought for him. I got to catch up with family and friends which was so nice.

On Black Friday Aaron got to go shopping for the first time. It was fun to have him there while he was happy. I kept holding things up to him and asking him if he wanted me to buy them for him. My brother pushed him around in the cart through the whole store which was really sweet. 

My sister and I went and got pedicures, something I've been wanting to do for months. It was so nice to be pampered and not have to be a mom for a little bit. It'd been over a year since my last pedicure so they had to do quite a bit of work! 
Aaron had been backed up for quite a few days so I gave him some prune juice to help things along but he barely drank any, passing out hard on me. I told him that he was so cute I wanted to eat him and he started smiling in his sleep.
He slept on my chest for a few hours after that and it was so so nice. When he woke up ready to eat again, he finally pooped, just in time for Sammy to get there and help clean it up hahaha!

Aaron ended the day deciding that my mom's sweater is absolutely delicious. He just kept nibbling on it, drooling like crazy.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
