First of all, I have never been so busy in my life! I've been back to school for a couple of months now and man, the days are long! The daily routine is really wearing me out, but luckily only one more week before winter vacation. Then two weeks of with my baby and Gil!
Mason is so fun these days!! He's crawling, pulling up to a stand all by himself, and working on popping his 4 top teeth any day now!
To say I lovvvvve him is an understatement. What an awesome little guy he is! He loves being silly to make us smile and is the happiest little guy ever. He loves looking at his books and will usually reach for a book over his toys. He likes being read to and turning the pages. He loves crawling around and exploring.
Gil and I have been plugging away at the house, doing projects here and there. I love the changes we've made and it's really starting to feel like a home. We had most of the downstairs painted and have finally started hanging things on the walls. Gil has been working hard at replacing old fixtures, like light switches. He also replaced all the toilets. We just ordered a new washer, dryer, and dishwasher...thank you Black Friday deals!
We are going to replace the light fixtures on the main floor soon. Over winter break we will hopefully knock out a few more projects.
This is the first year that we aren't going back to GR for the holidays. We are looking forward to starting some new traditions as our little family of three (plus Laila!) this year. We have the Christmas tree up and Gil decorated the house with lights.
This weekend we are going to pick out Mason's first ornament and stockings. I just ordered The Night Before Christmas so we can read it to our kid(s) each year on Christmas Eve.
Looking forward to the holidays and some time to relax at home!
