Happy Monday Peeps!!!!! I hope everyone had a well rested weekend and enjoyed time with loved ones!!!! We have just come home from our six month well visit and are currently enjoying a starbucks ( mommy) and bottle ( Jaxie) while I type this little post up. Jax is getting so big!! 48 percentile in weight, 23 in height, and a whopping 70 in head circum. LOL Baby boy gotta big ole noggin! Not to much has changed around here.. ugh especially the weather. I love how it is January but instead of enjoying a  nice cool front I am sitting at home in shorts and blasting my AC. Gotta love a Texas Winter I guess!!!

Brandon and I are so excited because we are SELLING our home and building a new one!!!! I am excited but also stressed about this process because I know its pretty intense. I am excited however, to build exactly what we want!! We will settle into our new home about 15 mins from our current home on about 5 acres!! I am so excited to be on some LAND for a change!!!! Other than that we haven't really been doing much.. just enjoying little sugar, stroller strides, and a lot of family time. 

Because this child is ALWAYS happy!!

Waiting on our six month well visit

Excited to be at the DR......

I LOVE YOU my sweet baby boy!

 I always knew I would love being a mommy this much.. even on the days where I am feeling more tired than usual..I am so grateful. I can't even express how grateful I am to get to take care of my sweet little Jaxie each day. I am holding all of the mommie's who were not as fortunate as to get to take their babies home in my prayers and in my heart. Lord knows we waited on Jax for almost 2 years! We are so blessed to be able to get to be his parents. Each day is NOT a guarantee and one of my goals for 2017 is to be more intentional. I want to be intentional with my family and literally savor every moment.. before I know it Jax will be talking.. I will be pregnant.. we will be in a different place in life .. so for these days that may seem so boring to some they are truly SO special to me .. I just hold my baby and stare at him and truly thank God for choosing me and ALLOWING me to be his mom.

Holidays, Life lately...almost six months WHAT???!!!!

I cannot even begin to describe what it is like to have an ALMOST six month old?? I just had him YESTERDAY!!!!! ( time to get pregnant again!!! :)) 

TOTALLY KIDDING!!

Anyways... it has been such a whirlwind with the Holidays, family and friends coming to visit, trying to get our house ready to sell..just pure chaos. Amidst all of the chaos though we have managed to make some beautiful memories as a family. Some days are as simple as drinking a few cups of coffee and singing my boy to sleep .. but friends, those are the best of days and they go by so fast. We had an amazing first Christmas. Jax made out like a little bandit!!! I cannot wait to have a playroom so that all of his stuff  can be in one space!!! My home pretty much looks like a daycare center.. but I am partly okay with that.  We had so much fun this holiday season. I hosted my annual Christmas Eve party and it was so perfect! We woke up on Christmas morning with our true gift from God and prayed prayers of Thanks and Gratitude to the Lord for entrusting us with such a sweet baby. New Years was bittersweet. It was probably one of the best NYE I have had in a long time. We spent it at the Ranch as we always do, but leaving 2016 was hard for me. It was the year I brought my son into the world...the year I grew a beautiful belly and tiny human. 2017 holds a lot of promise for our little family and sometimes it is so hard for me to trust God and let go of all of my fears. We drank champagne, cheersed ( is this a word?) to 2017 and are letting life unfold. 

We have also  had FREEZING weather.. and then scorching hot weather?? #TEXAS. 

I am currently drinking my second cup of coffee while holding my angel as he sleeps on me. It is a whopping 23 degrees outside and I have no plans to go anywhere but cuddle and snooze with my man. Maybe I will pinterest too.. 

Here is life lately!!!
