Geesh. No one will ever warn you how hard the first year with your first baby is, but we are finally settling into a routine. For now at least, my financial fears surrounding having a bean are assuaged, and I am finally able to do some work from home. While he's sleeping, of course, but at least it's something. I know no one ever thinks your kid is as cute as you do, but I thought I would post this picture.
My mom had been bugging me to take him to a photo studio and get some real photos done so I did, and gave them to both the grandmas for Christmas.

CUTE!!!!!!!!
There is no way to get across to new parents; we try and they don't get it. Hehe.
My MIL is a picture fiend. We tell her she can take the kids to get pictures whenever she wants. Since we don't really care. Works out nice. Though I don't particularly appreciate the picture of LM with Santa, with the saddest/most scared little face I ever saw. So yeah, I'd draw the line at Grandma taking them to Santa. They think it is fun to torture the kids like that. I don't get it.
Now the bear, I get. Adorable!

I was looking at your bio. One thought, instead of payoff a huge chunk toward your student loan and savings, make sure you fully fund your Roth IRA ($5k). Just a suggestion. God bless.
