The weather in Florida lately has been pleasantly chilly, and we've been reveling in the chance to wear pants and long sleeves. Ever since we moved here two years ago, it hasn't really gotten cold until at least February, and even then the chill only lasted for a few days.

In the weeks after having a baby, it's so tempting to dress in pajamas, leggings, and comfortable V-neck tees and never leave the house. Every once in awhile, though, you need to feel human again, and it feels so good to shower, get dressed in something cute, and do your hair and makeup.

Having a new baby is one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced in my life. I love inhaling their sweet milky breath, dressing them in stylish miniature clothes, and snuggling them for hours on end. We are currently in the midst of the delirium that is life with a newborn. Our little Lewis is two weeks old, and our whole family is so in love with him!
