My Once Upon a Time...

December 31st, 2018 Weight: 14lbs Height: 25.5 inches Health: I took him to the doctor once this month because he had a lingering cough and I wanted to make sure his lungs sound okay and that he doesn't have an ear infection. He looked and sounded great, but I'm glad I took him in for the peace of mind. Nicknames: Finny, Finnegan, Bubbas, Handsome, Beef, Big Beef, Honey Eating: During the day, I still feed him every 2.5-3 hours, nights have been a shit show though. I don't know if this is the dreaded 4-month sleep regression or teething, but he screams and screams at night until I feed him, nothing else will calm him down. Some nights I feed him five times, I'm exhausted to say the least! Sleeping: He still goes to bed around 7pm and usually wakes up around 6:30-7am. As mentioned above, nights have been hell. I don't even think he fully wakes up, his eyes are still closed but he just screams and screams. Of cours...

Christmas was a little different this year. Katie's mom, who usually hosts Christmas Eve, moved to California last summer, and Katie's brothers were out of town as well, so we just had a small family dinner with Katie's other family. And apparently this is the only picture I took all night...haha. When we got home, we got some milk and cookies ready for Santa (vegan cookies of course) and Fox was really into it this year. We sprinkled some reindeer food outside, read the Night before Christmas and both boys were fast asleep within minutes. Airplane the Elf made sure to say goodbye to Fox before he flew off to the North Pole for another year. Fox asked Santa for a guitar and microphone and Santa delivered. He was so excited! For weeks, he told us that he wanted this Polly Pocket toy that he had seen on a commercial. He would not stop talking about it, so we got it for him. He played with it for 20 minutes and it's been sitting...

December started out with these beautiful ladies here. We went to a wine bar for Happy Hour and although I can neither drink nor eat anything with dairy (which ended up being pretty much nothing), it was so freeing to get out and laugh for hours. I took the kids to a local children's festival at our community college, where they had tons of crafts to do and every child even received two free books. Fox had so much fun exploring all the stations and didn't want to leave. A random lady approached me and asked me if that was Fox and when I told her yes, she said she works at the local library and remembers him from when he used to come there as a one and two year old with our nanny! So funny! Only one of us wanted to take the picture. These boys crack me up. Always watching big brother! Katie and I took the boys to see Christmas lights. There is this house that we always used to visit during Christmas Time before we had kids. They stopped...
