There’s you, me, and sadly a over a whole year of time that we’ve missed in each other’s lives. Blah! My fault! Ok, 3 posts into blogging again and I am officially going to stop dwelling (though, I just can’t believe I allowed it to happen) and start to move on.
Here’s what I’m thinking: I want to put the best content on the web for you guys because I love each and every one of you and can’t handle letting you down this time around. What do you want to see on the blog in the year 2016? Have any ideas for reoccurring posts? Or any fun topics to chat about in general?? I don’t want to beg but PLEASE let me know in the comments =) #thankyouverymuchinadvance
To begin getting reacquainted with one another, I am going to start by sharing my top 15 moments of 2015! Here it goes…
1. Watching Brody grow in SO many different ways this year!!!!!!! Born December 29th, 2014 – he changed my world in the best way possible and I don’t think my husband nor I will ever remember life without him! This year was nothing short of incredible and watching Brody grow each and everyday has been truly remarkable.
2. Seeing my husband as a dad. He’s seriously the BEST daddy and I couldn’t ask for a better partner in crime to share this parenting thing with.

3. The first time B slept through the night at about 3 months in!!
4. When staying home on Friday and Saturday nights became the norm and realizing I wouldn’t have it any other way.
5. Going to Aruba with my handsome hubby! It was our first vacay away from the Brodster and although we missed him beyond words, you can’t complain about relaxing in paradise.

6. Seeing my best friend, Blake, get MARRIED! And standing by her side as her Matron-of-Honor. It was such a special wedding weekend and I was honored to be apart of it! I love you Blakey!!

7. Making the decision and being fortunate enough to stay home with Brody full-time this year. Of course I miss teaching first grade but being able to spend each and everyday with my little munchkin is priceless.

8. The week Brody stopped spitting up!!!!!! This is a real highlight guys! He had acid reflux for the first 7 months of his life and well, let’s just say I changed my shirt no less than 7 times a day, everyday. Nice to have that behind us =)
9. Shopping for the Brodster’s wardrobe, making him laugh, and watching him eat. In no particular order.

10. Turning 31. We did nothing fancy but I was able to see and celebrate with everyone who I wanted to at different points of the weekend. I kid you not when I say this, it was the best birthday to date.

11. Staying at the St. Regis in October for a much needed relaxing trip to Miami.

12. Going to NYC for the weekend in December – it had been awhile since we were there and every time I go, I love it more and more. Plus, we had amazing weather. Can’t wait to bring Brody one day!

13. Meeting all my new mom friends, some who I am very confident saying have turned into life-long friends. You know who you are!! I love you girls!!
14. All of Brody’s firsts! From his first bath to his first smile to celebrating his first holidays with him. ALL the firsts were SO exciting.

15. Finding out that I have a gluten intolerance. LIFE CHANGING. More on this later.
16. Witnessing Brody grow into the sweetest little boy with the biggest personality! He has morphed into a person right before our eyes and while I miss the period of time when he was a teeny tiny 6 lb baby baby, I honestly love every new stage better than the last.

Ahhh so there you have it, my top 15 16 moments of 2015! {Ooops. I had to add just one more} And clearly, this list is heavily filled with Brody Brody Brody. But I can’t help myself! You guys, he’s my world. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2016… it’s already proven to be a great year!
Now back to you – along with commenting on what you want to see on the blog in the coming year, tell me your most favorite things that you did in 2015. GO!
