9 Months

24 1/2 pounds of love! Miss Fin is all over the place, crawling, into everything, balancing with no hands. Her babbling is starting to resemble words rather than just sounds, and she loves all things Christmas just like her mama. She loves throwing both hands in the air and waving and has started intentionally throwing toys down for someone else to pick up! We're loving every minute of this stage:o)

Celebrate the Season {Our 1st Christmas Tree as a Family of 3}

I'm simply bursting with joy introducing Finlay to all of these Christmas traditions. We headed over to Harmon's in our jammies the day after Thanksgiving to pick out our tree, and came home with a 9 foot beauty. 

Celebrate the Season {Fin's 1st Thanksgiving}

We hosted Thanksgiving for the first time this year. Per tradition, the day started with Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade & lots of action in the kitchen. Fin was an absolute angel & we so enjoyed the time with our families.

I've so been looking forward to beginning the "Christmas Basket" tradition every Thanksgiving to welcome the Christmas season. Watching her open all the goodies got me very excited about Christmas morning!

This year we so very much to be thankful for. This 24 pound blessing has given life a whole new meaning & I could not be more grateful. 

*Deck the Halls*

It's that time of year again when I transform my house into a winter wonderland, where Christmas music echoes at all times & decorations are around every corner!
