I'm at work trying to wrap a bunch of reports up before all of the execs leave on vacation.
H is home with DD this whole week. It's 10:30 am here, and I haven't gotten any phone calls, so I'm assuming that they're doing just fine. I hate that she's not feeling very well.

We are having a baking extravaganza today. We always put together little cookie bags to share with our neighbors. Saturday we all fly to visit my parents. I am nervous to fly with all three kids, but the last time I flew I was alone with 2 and this time DH is coming so I figure it won't be too different!

My brother and I took DD to see DSs Christmas concert at school. She spent the whole time bouncing and waving, it was so cute 😍. We put up the tree yesterday, with a fence so that she can't pull up on it. She is loving that she can now walk around almost the whole living room because of it!

We have been so busy with Christmas party after Christmas party and it just hit me today that I basically haven’t done anything to prepare for the holiday. Going to be doing a lot of amazon shopping this week lol.
DS1 has his Christmas program at preschool tomorrow and I can’t wait! He sings his songs and does the motions all the time but I think he might clam up on stage. Fingers crossed he doesn’t get scared!

Hi! I have had so much going on. I went to a Christmas party on Saturday night. Then yesterday spent the day cleaning and purging all the things. I have still have some to go but it’s much better.
I also spent 2 1/2 hours wrapping gifts yesterday. I still have shopping, wrapping and cards to fill out. I just want to sleep. Lol

Hi everyone!
Timehop was showing me pictures of last year at this time and how big my bump was. I miss it and it is sooo crazy to see how much life has changed since then! I can't imagine not having DS now...and I can't remember what it used to feel like to have free time 😂

pinkcat this year has gone so fast! marygracerich and I had our babies a year minus 10 days ago! It feels like yesterday! We have decided to start our road trip north Friday after work instead of super early Saturday so now I have one less day to pack. I need to get out our Christmas cards, make sure I have all my Christmas presents, wrap presents and pack in addition to doing laundry and cleaning. It’s going to be a busy week! Hopefully DH actually helps me!

Work is chaos this week. We got a new sprint in and have meetings 8-5 the next 3 days and the half the team is off until 1/2.
I’m off Friday and need to finish up the baby’s few things and the last minute things for DS1 that are small.

I think I'm almost done Christmas shopping. Woo hoo!
I did NOT buy my own presents or even do my own stocking this year so we'll see how MH does.

I keep one of the cheap Fisher Price booster chairs at our parents' houses! Because we have to fly to see my parents and I hate packing heavy I also bought a sound machine and a cheap audio only monitor to leave there. ETA: Oh, and it's dumb, but at least one set of baby spoons or silverware. We have had to improvise that before LOL!

The baby cracks up whenever he rubs my eyebrows. This would be really funny if he didn’t also poke me in my eyes. Lol

My cousin’s daughter is 12 and just completed a 7 hour babysitter training class with the Red Cross along with cpr training, and is really excited to babysit - but hasn’t found anyone yet and thinks it’s because she’s so small. (She is a very tiny 12 year old.)
So anyway I’ve asked her to babysit my 3 year old this Friday afternoon while I put baby down for a nap, do stuff around the house, maybe run an errand (H works from home so he’ll be in the house) and I’m actually pretty excited. DD1 has been pretty ornery lately so it will be great to have an older kid playing with her so I can have some peace. 😂 And just $8/hour!

Baby's first unmistakeable word is "no" 😂😂 she'll say it if we tell her to stop doing something and then head towards her to intervene. It cracks me up every time!

Olivia loves talking. She is just as goofy as her sister. It's so adorable.
I'm so behind the ball. I need to start cookies. 🙈🙈 and take a picture for Christmas cards! Eeeeep. Maybe one year I'll have my shit together!

I love all the little glimpses we are getting into their personalities! Baby V likes to climb on things and then cheer for herself. She and I have special time before bed each night with a lot of "chatting" and giggling and it is so cute. With DS, I was/am always so calm/quiet at bedtime b/c he has always had trouble sleeping; it is nice to be so light hearted with her then. The two of them are starting to play together more too which is so fun to watch.

DS2 I think is going to be just as wild as his brother. He’s so into climbing into everything/on top of toys to get what he wants and when you say no (obviously I know he doesn’t understand yet) , he gives you a little smirk.
He’s also my child that just when you think you have him figured out he changes it up.

peachesncream we hear a lot of "no no no no no" in our house too. DD was ornery at the dinner table last night, so H put his laptop that was playing concert videos in front of her. She loved it so much. She would clap at the end of the song and bob her head along to the beat. It was the cutest thing. Her hair is getting so long that I have to clip it back. You can also make out the bit of Oreo cookie left on her face that she stole from me. She is really loving her swimming lessons.
