A combination of post updates :)

So this post will combine a few things: Halloween picture post, Emmett's 1 month post, Tristan's speech update, and an update on our lives currently so here you go:


Our Lives and Tristan's speech: 

So right now we are still working on our housing situation and are hoping to have a house within the next week or so! I cannot wait to start Christmas shopping and decorating and getting our lives back to normal. Things have been very hectic with Tristan hating being cooped up in a hotel room, Emmett having thrush, filing for child support, a funeral, and other stuff so I'm ready for our lives to get back to normal again. I have currently lost 25lbs so far since having Emmett so I'm very glad about that. Eventually I will get around to Emmett's birth post once things are less stressful. Tristan's speech has improved majorly and he's now using 3-5 word sentences!! I'm so proud of him. He now knows his animals, animal sounds, and body parts. He's also now almost out of 4t and completely into 4/5s in boys and 5t clothing. He's so big now and it's all height.

Halloween:

So my friend took Tristan trick or treating this year and Emmett and I stayed home. He was Iron Man  due to his new love of the superhero. I got his costume at Goodwill for 37 cents and his grandpa got his mask for $5 so we did good this year. 

Emmett's 1st Halloween!

Mommy's little Iron Man

Emmett's 1 month update:

Milestones: Holding up his head pretty well, slowly working his way to 6oz per feeding of formula, and we've caught a few smiles.

Pictures from last week:



Blurry but I almost caught him kissing my belly on camera.





Kerri Mullis Events

So normally I don't do posts sponsoring businesses or products but today I received a package from my friend from elementary school whom I haven't seen since 5th- 6th grade so I thought I'd do a post about her business :).

She had posted recently that she had tons of shirts leftover that she was giving away for free so I had of course asked for one and today I received this :). She sent me not only the shirt but body wash, a baby outfit for little man #2, and a book. Anywho... on to talking about Kerri Mullis Events. 

Kerri Mullis Events (the name may be changed soon) is a small wedding and event planning business in North Carolina. Kerri, the founder, is a mom to 3 kids and currently runs the business herself. I have actually never used her business because I live too far away but if you go to her website here, you can find more information on her prices, what events she plans, pictures from other events, etc. You can also check out her facebook page here. She's an amazing person and really talented at what she does so please check her out and let her know I sent you! 


Have a great day :)
