Spring in Austin

8 months of Happy hour snuggles with this baby.🍷❤️

And just like that, we have a three year old, y’all. I can remember when he came to us at 2.5. His third birthday felt like an eternity away. Well. Time flies and life is crazy and today we hosted an amazing party for baby boy and all his siblings. They are the most bonded, affectionate, loving bunch of brothers and sisters and I knew we didn’t want to spend his birthday any other way! 🎂🎉

Those who are close to us know we’ve been looking for and hoping for some answers about his hearing. How much can he hear? Are his ears causing pain? He can’t tell us so we’ve had to be persistent with figuring out the answers. Pressing doctors for referrals to not one specialist but three. A wiggly toddler doesn’t make hearing tests easy and after inconclusive results and other frustrating obstacles we got confirmation, baby boy needs tubes and it’s happening soon. Clogged up, painful ears is no way to live. Wish him luck, this could be another major breakthrough! 🧡

We’ve had a pretty great month. Since baby boy had his teeth worked on he’s been super happy and cheerful. It’s been exciting seeing this side of him. That said, there are still plenty of tough moments and this afternoon was fussier than usual. It almost reminded us of those hard, early days. Things started looking up around dinner and there was lots of smiling and silliness at bathtime. After books and snuggles, when he was almost fast asleep, he sat straight up in bed, grabbed his teddy bear and gave it two big kisses. Then he laid back down, wrapped his arms around my neck and drifted off.
Some days are easier than others FOR SURE. He can't tell us yet what he's thinking and feeling but the amount of goodness and love this baby possesses blows our minds. He makes this crazy journey and even the hardest days so sweet. 🧡👶🏽✨

Back on a matcha kick after discovering this one at @MananaAtx. Not too sweet which is perfect. I think I’ll be able to squeeze in a few more hot versions of this before switching over to iced completely. 🙌🏽🍵

Throw back to last Monday morning when Alex and I had a day date and sipped coffee and matcha here👆🏽before going to see Call Me By Your Name. The movie was perfection as is the @southcongresshotel lobby. 🌵🧡

We loved watching him soak it all in yesterday at the Blanton and now I can’t believe I’m about to get on a plane and be gone until Thursday! I know Alex has got this 💪🏽 but I’m going to miss my girl🐒 and guys a lot!

On our final stretch of the trip back to ATX! The holidays were an incredible whirlwind and I’m so glad we got to be truly present and engaged the entire time. I guess that’s what adding a two year old to the mix will do for ya. Now it’s back to our routine and work and I’m v excited to dive in. Let’s do this, 2018! 🎉🌵🐒🌿 #Salliegirl
