I’m not going to lie, the title of this post is misleading.

Typically on Thursdays I give you a quick feel for a food/recipe I’m loving, a fitness-related fav, and something positive about life in general. Well this Thursday is different because…

It’s my blog & I can do whatever I want!

Yaaaaasssss. But for real, this Thursday is different. It is different because I want to focus all 3 of my usual ‘favorites’ on one thing {person in this case} in particular. His name is Palmer Chet and he’s my first, and currently my favorite, nephew! I’m totally and utterly obsessed with him. He’s got the cutest nose, the squishy-est cheeks and smells AH-MAZE-ING. Sure I am probably biased because we’re related and he’s my sister’s son, but I swear to you he is beyond adorable. I was lucky enough to be right outside that hospital room door the minute he entered the world and was able to hear his first cry/scream. Surprisingly I didn’t tear up like I expected, but I think that because I was just so overwhelmed that a permanent smile was plastered on my face instead. I did however cry when we left him on Saturday. Thank goodness for Snapchat! Palmer joined the Axthlem/Breon family at 2:04am on Friday March 25, 2016 weighing 7lbs6oz and was 20″ long. He even had some hair–which I lost a bet on! {I did win the bet on his name, though!}

Haley did amazing during labor and it was so cool to see the way Adam looked at him right after he was born. They’re both going to be awesome parents and I honestly cannot wait to watch their little family grow in life together. The family is all home now and settling into life with this precious little guy and it makes my heart so happy to see how much they love and adore him already. So yeah, you can probably tell that I’m like the world’s proudest Aunt but I’m 100% unashamed of that!

Welcome to the world, Palmer! I can’t wait to see you get bigger, start talking & walking, watch your first tee ball {or likely hockey} game, see you graduate, and buy you the cutest Jordan shoes ever…I love you more than you could ever know!!! <3
