A little bit of Life Lately...

It's November 9th, and it baffles me to think that next week we will be halfway through the month of November. Time goes so quickly! 

I wanted to share a few things about life lately at the Brisel household. 😊

We recently transitioned Jack to sleeping in his crib all night long, rather than in the crib or bassinet in our bedroom. He has had a few rough nights of sleep, but for the most part has done really well. Maybe it's because Dustin works overnights, but I really miss Jack's company in our room at night! I know he is much more comfortable in his crib though - there's a lot more room to spread out. 😉

Sammy had a dentist appointment this week for his regularly scheduled cleaning. The dentist found that Sammy is already getting his six year old molars (one is completely through, the other is on it's way through)...and Sammy just turned 5. There was a period of about 2 weeks that Sammy really struggled sleeping at night (no sleep seems to be a theme at the Brisel house 😂) and I'm guessing that was when his molar was coming through. Poor buddy! 

Jack is starting to practice sitting up, and is getting pretty good at it! He can sit up for a few seconds unassisted. You can tell he is really concentrating when he sits. It's pretty hard work. 😉


We put our Christmas tree up this weekend and did some decorating. I know it seems early, but Dustin works pretty much every weekend between now and Christmas - plus, we needed some twinkle lights in our lives. 😉 Jack loves to look at the tree and Sammy is so excited about the upcoming season. 


I've done a little shopping for Christmas, but I need to kick it into high gear. Pretty soon this is going to be the reality at our house. Haha! I don't love to be a last minute shopper. I like a lot of time to be really thoughtful about the gifts given, and I absolutely LOVE wrapping them. My favorite thing is to turn on a really great Christmas movie, pour a little glass of something tasty, and wrap gifts. 

That's all for today...see you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites! XX

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World!  The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days 😅) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks!  We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. 😂 It is somet...
