3 months

I can't believe how fast time is going. It really seems to speed up once you have kids. I keep asking myself, "how is my baby 3 months already?!?" I just can't believe it. 

My friend Courtney does photography as a hobby and so I've taken her up on doing a few "shoots" for us. Yesterday she took Bubs' 3 month pictures. They turned out really cute! 

Here's a few of my favorites. 

This little guy is such a blessing! We love him so much! 
 

 
 
 

 

Back to Work

When I first started my maternity leave, I was itching to go back to work. Kevin is such an easy baby and slept a lot at first, so I was dying and looking for things to do. Once he started to be more alert and awake a bit more I cherished my time even more. This made it so hard to leave him once I had to go back to work. I was devastated! I begged C to let me stay home (some what jokingly). 

Unfortunately I knew I had to go back and needed to suck it up. Because I know I'm not the only one to have to experience this and plenty of moms make it through. 

That Tuesday after the new year was my first day back. Bubs was going to the sitters that day. Luckily she is the Mom of my best friend which made it much easier. I was a mess leading up to it and when the time came to drop him off I told myself not to cry. But once I started walking toward the door the tears came. My co-workers were really sweet about it and not bringing it up knowing it was a difficult transition. 

Once Friday had hit, it was much easier to get moving and knowing I would get to be with my baby all weekend was a huge plus! 

Thankfully my mom and the sitter send me pics throughout the day to help get me through. 

He's just the sweetest baby! 
 

 

Christmas

We had many celebrations this year. Thankfully we were able to spread them all out enough to enjoy each one individually. This holiday season really snuck up on us this year. With Bubs being born at the end of October, Thanksgiving and Christmas hit pretty quickly after. I was very blessed to have been on my maternity leave during this time. 

Christmas jam jams for days 

 I was so sad for it all to be over. It really is the most magical time of year!
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 

Kevin's Baptism

The week after Thanksgiving we baptized our little Bubby. I wanted to do it before I went back to work, and our church didn't do baptisms through Advent so that was really our only option. It was a little last minute but worked out great!

Our families came back to the house afterwards for dinner and drinks. It was nice to have everyone together to celebrate our baby boy. 

 
 
 
 
 

It's Been A While

Whew, with the holidays and a new baby we have been extremely busy! It's nice that things have settled a bit and we can enjoy more quality time with each other. 

It really is true with what they say.. the holidays are truly so much better when you get to experience them with a child. I know our little love didn't even realize what was going on but I know I will always have those memories and cherish them. 

Thanksgiving was our first holiday together as a family of three. I knew it was going to be overwhelming with Kevin being the first grand baby on both sides. It luckily worked out that we got to see both families on a different day so we could enjoy plenty of family time. It was much less stressful for us as well!
