a very late h54f!

each week, i am trying to link up with lauren & give the top 5 highlights of my week! yes... i am aware that it's saturday, but yesterday was a crazy lil day and i was all ready to share these, so here they are... just a little late! :)

5. i am in the midst of what i believe is the '18 month sleep regression' and it is ruining my life!!!! i have always thought i could function on a few hours of sleep, but the past couple of weeks have reminded me that i surely cannot. holden has been fighting all naps, boycotting bedtime and waking multiple times at night. ridic. so... on a number of the past mornings after a long night, i have treated myself to choc chip pancakes. with toppings of fresh strawberries, butter, syrup and whipped cream. whatev. no sleep = a yummy breakfast. my house, my rules!!!

4. speaking of sleep. or lack thereof. my sweet buddy in his sleep-boycotting routine has fallen asleep in my arms a number of times. this has probably been the sole saving grace to this whole phase right now. he's a natural cuddlebug, but not when he is sleeping. there have actually been several nights that i've pulled him into bed with me and he's fallen asleep. a rare treat.

3. grant's grandma turned 89 this past week! wowza! almost all of the grandchildren made the trip to lafayette to join in the festivities! so much fun! loved spending time with our long lost cousin in arizona, tessa! family really is what it's all about and i can't wait to grow old with these people! we had a surprise bday party at a cute place downtown, the buttery shelf. unique experience, but fun nonetheless!

2. finally!!!!! i think i have finally found and decided on curtains for the living area! i've had such a hard time figuring out what i want because the living room, dining area and kitchen all run together in a very open concept. therefore, i didn't want to pick too crazy of a pattern or specific color and be locked into it. one of my fav purses is a navy blue coach purse. i never really thought of navy as a neutral, but that purse goes with seriously everything! so... the curtains i picked are a navy (not a super deep navy, though). they go fab with the decor we already have and break up all the neutrals going on (couch, pain, rug, etc).

1. my number one this week is my lil niecey, roslyn! normally, she's too on the go to sit with me or has an agenda that is more interesting than her auntie. so, this week, when she climbed up in my lap and was being SO sweet, i HAD to document. the girl is so full of zeal and i have no doubt will do great things in her life. and she's pretty darn cute, too.

so, there ya have it! my week in review. hoping next week i can post all about how much sleep i'm getting! fingers crossed!!!!
