Beau’s favorite spot in his room is the window. It’s the perfect height for him to reach and see all the cars. And by that I mean the one car parked on the side of the road in our neighborhood. One morning Blake was out shoveling all the snow and Beau watched him the entire time saying “dada” over and over again. Followed by “caw” (car) and pointing his sweet fingers at his dad. He is always holding a car in his hand. Like no matter what he’s doing he has at least one car! I love this boy and his messy bed head so much! What are your plans for New Years? We always get Thai food to go and are in bed by like 11. That’s how cool we are. I hope your New Year is amazing! It has been a wonderful 2015. I started blogging over the summer, and we moved into our home in the winter. It was a very happy year and I’m excited to see what happens in 2016. Thank you so much to those of you who read this blog. It means more than I can write into words! I have big dreams and goals for this little blog of mine. Thank you for being there! xoxo

Beau gets really giggly when we take selfies together! He started laughing, so I started laughing, and we didn’t stop until he got the hiccups. Anytime he sees himself in the mirror or a phone he says “baby” and gets all cheesy. It’s really the cutest. This last picture I caught of him when I was in my room and it got a little too quiet. I ran to his room and saw him looking through a book quietly. He does this often and I’m a puddle on the floor every time. He’s getting so big and smart and learns so many new words every day. He can now count to 10 (although he gets stuck around 6 and 7). I feel like I can understand what he wants with his little words most of the time. It’s sad how fast this time goes! How badly I wish I could press pause. But each day brings more new things for him and just more joy for me.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! I hope you spend it with family, and good food, and gratitude for what this day is really about. And of course maybe a pair of shoes or something 😉 xo

We woke up to a winter wonderland this week. Zero snow one day and the next everything was COVERED! I myself have never really been a snow fan, but there is just something so beautiful about it. I like it most when I don’t have to leave the house and can enjoy it from a warm home. But now that I have a little one who enjoys playing in it, I like snow much more than I used to. Last winter wasn’t a snowy one, plus Beau was 6 months old. So this year is his first time playing in the snow. I got him all bundled up and let him play in the backyard thinking he wouldn’t love the cold. But oh man he LOVED it! I got freezing and had to go inside to watch him from my back door. He didn’t want to come in and seriously could have played forever. Plus I was dying over how cute he looked in his snow gear. A baby in snow pants is amazing.
