Happy Thursday, everyone! Hope your week has been great. Since coming back to work, Thursdays have a whole new level of awesome surrounding them because they mean there is only one more day to the weekend, which means only one more day until I can be with my little guy full time again!

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK:

• Getting YouTube videos of my son from Dan during the workday. PRICELESS.
• “Fall” weather! (In Florida, all that means is that the temperature dips below 90 for a second. But it affords us the opportunity to bust out our boots, cardigans, and actually purchase hot lattes from Starbucks as opposed to iced.)
• Speaking of — pumpkin spice lattes with soy milk. But not from Starbucks. From Redeye. (The Starbucks syrup turns my tongue orange which is NOT CUTE.)
• Getting a visit at work from my two favorite boys! Dan and Dax! I even got Dax out of his car seat to snuggle him. Then he began to fuss because, well, I selfishly woke him from a nap in order to cuddle him BUT WHATEVER.
• Being instructed by my husband to sit and just hold Dax and let him clean the whole house. WELL IF YOU INSIST…
• Seeing the POOLES! Jack and Dax (seen above) are gonna be besties. They bonded over our awkward photo sesh in which we haphazardly propped them up against the couch and counted the seconds before Dax melted down (it was dinner time).  You can see how concerned Jack is. He knew the meltdown was imminent.
• Eating dinner one-handed.
• THE NOLES BEAT CLEMSON!
• The Bears won, too!
• Good night’s sleeps and productive nap times.
• Being able to spend all day on Sunday with my little man.
• Seeing Courtney again!
• Getting an amazing voice mail from her as well. I saved it and wish I could transcribe it and put it in my BDF.
• Meeting Ashley, finally!
• Going jogging as a family.
• Getting a lovely visit from Sydney at work, complete with breakfast and a latte! Nom!
• Photo shoot outtakes.
• Getting my hair did on my lunch break. (P.S. the last time I got my hair did, I was 35 weeks pregnant. My son is 10 weeks old today. You do the math.)
• Free shirts.
• Fitting into my pre-pregnancy jeans! AHHH it’s like I’m getting a whole new wardrobe, one pair of pants at a time!
• Catching up via email.
• Seeing other people hold and love on my baby.
• The fact that none of the contestants got last night’s Final Jeopardy clue but I DID! #smarterthaneveryone #beavis&butthead
• Gratuitous hashtag use outside of Twitter. #idowhatiwant
• New, adorable stray cats showing up on our doorstep BUT PLEASE SWEET CAT GO AWAY BECAUSE, I’M WARNING YOU, I WILL ADOPT YOU IN A HEARTBEAT AND I CAN’T AFFORD ANOTHER CAT.  SERIOUSLY GO AWAY WITH YOUR CUTE SELF.
• Lunch with Nora. Always a great conversation with that girl!
• People randomly complimenting my appearance. That’s just. Wow. Music to a new mom’s ears.
• Seeing THIS and hoping someone will make one for Dax before he’s too huge!
• And, finally, smiles and laughs from my baby boy. They are too precious! (They’re also too quick to snap a photo as of right now. Soon, though!)

What do you love this week?
