ONE: Judson is growing like crazy! I can’t believe he’s already 9 weeks old, he’s way bigger than his sister was at 9 weeks. He had to move up to a size 2 diaper and his even outgrowing 3 month clothing. I forget how quickly babies change and learn new things, he’s reaching for toys and cooing and laughing and we’re just smitten with him.
TWO: We’re a bit obsessed with Friday Night Lights. I think we’re half-way through season four, and we’ve had to stop watching it during the week because it’s so hard to stop after just one episode. We binged watched until late Saturday night, I was needing a little Eric Taylor in my life.
THREE: Nighttime sleeping has been a real doozy this week. Jud wants to wake up around 2:00, go back down around 3:00 and wake up every 30 minutes to an hour after that. I am tired, that’s for sure. I’m doing everything just like Moms On Call says, almost. He’s still sleeping in the Breeze beside our bed. I think tonight is the night to try out the crib.
FOUR: Braylen is the best big sister. She loves her brother so much, and it makes my heart so happy every time I see the two of them interacting. In the beginning, I worried how this transition would affect her, but when I see the two of them together I know that these two will have the most special bond.
FIVE: We booked a beach trip for mid-September! I’m counting down the days. We wanted to wait as long as we could to go and let Jud get a little bigger. Here’s hoping he loves the water as much as his sister does.
SIX: Thank you all for the encouragement about my new job. I’ll admit that in the beginning I was really wondering if this was the right thing. Would I be okay without the interaction? Would I be okay with staying home every day? Slowly, we’ve settled into a routine and I am loving this new normal.
SEVEN: I am beyond ready for a three-day weekend! Who’s with me?
EIGHT: Speaking of the beach, I started going back to Pure Barre yesterday and I’m just as sore as I knew I would be today. I’m not sure that I have a muscle that isn’t aching this morning.
NINE: I feel like I’m pretty behind on just about every aspect of life these days. Nothing written in the baby book, thank-you notes are finished but haven’t been mailed, and birth announcements are 90% finished. Two is rocking my world, friends.
TEN: I haven’t forgot about the questions and answers post. I’m going to answer some in a blog post and the others are going to be part of a new Friday series (starting next week) on the blog! I’m trying to decide if we should go ahead and do a link-up, your readers might be wondering the same things. Thoughts?

Love Judson’s adorable outfit! A September beach trip sounds pretty perfect. Who am I kidding a beach trip any time is perfect ๐ And woot woot to a three day weekend!!
Courtney says

Hang in there with the sleep… it’ll work itself out. Ughh baby sleep is definitely difficult though.
Anna says
He is so precious! We’re counting down the days until our next beach week.
I say go with a link up. They’re always fun!
Crystal says
Congrats on the new baby and settling into a new routine. Don’t worry about those thank you notes, because they aren’t going anywhere!! I’ve been seeing Pure Barre stuff everywhere, but now you make me want to check them out even more.

We were at the beach last week, so I don’t think I congratulated you on being a SAHM. What a blessing!!! I think you will love it! Being the self-motivated, highly organized person that you appear to be, I have a feeling you will find so many things to do. You know- other than being a mom!!! That’s a big enough job! ๐
Cortney says
My second baby just turned one and I have yet to right anything down in the baby book. I have been keeping up with milestones on the blog, but two kids is definitely a lot different than one. I think a link up on Friday would be great!
Courtney says
#7 yes ma’am! Bring on the long weekend! And fireworks! And, no worries – I haven’t finished Aria’s baby book yet and she is the only kid and closer to 2 than 1 now…oops.
Andie says
Enjoy your new job!!! ๐ and we are headed to the beach in August… I am SO READY!!!
