Thanksgiving

We were lucky to be able to spend Thanksgiving with both our families. But, Aaron woke up that morning pretty grumpy. We were hoping that once we got to my mom's and he played for a bit, he'd be happier, but that didn't happen. He spent most of the time watching Little Baby Bum. 
Sammy and I spent some time throwing Aaron's football back and forth while watching the Bears play. (They actually won that day.)
He absolutely refused to nap and didn't want to eat so we put his show on and let him do his thing while we ate. The food was absolutely delicious, and I got to drink my Sprite out of my fancy glass.
After lunch Aaron went with Grandma and played some guitar while we watched the dog show. Then we left and drove around in circles for him to take a car nap. I need to remember when it comes with Aaron that we need to keep our expectations pretty low that way we aren't disappointed with how days go.
After his nap, Aaron was a lot happier. He had some pumpkin pie and played with everyone. 
Sammy's uncle and aunt from Mexico were there and we got to meet them which was cool. 
There are so many things I have to be grateful for. Our families, our health, our friends, Sammy's new job, all the joy Aaron has brought to our life, and so much more.

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:)
