life lately: the last of the three of us

it's the final countdown [insert gob dancing here with birds & flames]

this is how life was with just the three of us. life lately was an adorable little handsome guy snuggling and sleeping with daddy in his church outfit. it was a ginormous belly and lots and lots of pain. it was a little stinker who loves wearing big boy underwear and is completely ready to potty train in all areas except a giant one- he doesn't quite understand when he needs to pee [poop we got for sure] and doesn't know how to stop it once it starts. it's also been a surprise birthday party for my favorite noah post-christmas.

 life was hanging out with my two sisters for a few days and missing the third. it was anna painfully attempting to be landon's favorite aunt by taking him on the tractor [and let's be honest, doing a way better job then grandma shell does] but still painfully falling behind to the slurpee fairy. and it's been a little stinker who poops on the potty so regularly i hardly ever change poopy diapers- that makes for a happy mama.

 life lately was naked little boys hanging out in the bathtub [notice the adorable moobies] and nick, for once, understanding why having a little brother could be a good thing. it's been sisters doing what sisters do best- annoy each other, watch hallmark movies & knit each other's hair into hats. and it was a happy little boy who just adored his two cousins and loved chasing them around the yard with guns.

life lately was finally getting together with the irelanders [busy christmas time + sicknesses] and exchanging gifts. meghan got landon this adorable pilot hat and a cardboard plane kit which he loved and destroyed within a few days. it also was the two being adorable and snuggling on the ground, giving each other kisses as meghan cringed [he's really never done that before- i thought it was adorable.  but slightly creepy when landon said 'don't be afraid'].

life was celebrating four years of matrimony [aka the fruitavery] with some of justin's favorite fruit- fruit snacks. landon found my stash one day and gleefully ripped open the boy and was tossing them in the air with the uttermost joy. it was a grumpy boy who got to spend the night with his mema while justin & i enjoyed a night away at the aliante hotel. it was heart shaped pancakes [complete with sprinkles- i know my man well], chocolate covered strawberries and some sparkling cider to top it off.

while with mema, landon got to play with his buddy tanner [and of course, wouldn't share a thing] and take a visit to old mcdonald's [he BEGS for it almost every day. he's had it maybe 4x in his life so i don't understand why he loves it so much. prob bc he thinks it has something to do with the song. plus he gets apple juice there]. and lastly, life lately was a nice quiet breakfast with mr chicken and mommy loving every second with her baby boy.
