Welcoming Baby Liam: Preparing for Liam's 1st holiday season!

So, today we had a LOOOONG day & guess how long we were gone from the house? A whole 4 hours. LOL! Kobe & I were exhausted when we got home only to realize we had only been out for a measly FOUR HOURS. Today we went on a little adventure to find the perfect decorations for Liam's FIRST CHRISTMAS & to find a few other things we needed. We started out at Target because we needed to get some more burp cloths. I never would've thought we would need SO MANY burp cloths. hahaha... Welcome to parenthood! So anywho, while we were there we checked out some of the Christmas stuff, but didn't get too excited because I was dead set on driving all the way out to Garden Ridge to check out their "huge selection" of Christmas decor. So we left Target, made a pit stop at Babies R Us, stopped & bought lunch, then made our way to GR... what a waste of time! First, the drive was long & by the time we got there I had to feed our little man in the back seat while in the parking lot. haha... Then finally we went in & their selection wasn't all too impressive & a bit overpriced. SO, we went all the way back to the wonderful world of Target & stocked up on some lovely decorations. We got a nice 6.5' pre-lit tree, some ornaments, a tree skirt, and a tree topper!

Liam was pretty excited about the festivities too... as you can see in this picture! He is definitely NOT a friend of Ebenezer Scrooge!

Here I am with Liam leaving Target with all our Christmas goodies!

I got a lot of stares & "oohs" & "ahhs" for wearing him. I actually wore him in all of the stores we went to today & I must say it was A LOT easier than toting him around in the car seat. We will definitely be making use of our Baby Bjorn way more often now that we have experienced how much simpler it makes things. Plus, I think Liam enjoyed it. Aside from a 2-3 short cries (because I stopped walking) he either went right to sleep or was looking around with his big beautiful eyes taking in the sights.

This pic is a little blurry, but I like the effects Kobe put on it with his Instagram iPhone app!
