And just like that, a year has gone by. My itty bitty newborn baby is now a busy, walking one year old! It’s hard to believe that we’re celebrating his first birthday! On this day one year ago, I woke up, walked three miles and went to my final OB appointment. I was 40 weeks …
My Second Breastfeeding Journey
Happy World Breastfeeding Week! This week, August 1-7, is a week to celebrate moms and their journeys with breastfeeding no matter how long or short. Every drop of breastmilk your baby gets is important and wonderful in every way, but not every mom can breastfeed. And that’s okay! I’m not here to jump on the …
Chloe Grace: 4 Years Old
Today my big girl is officially 4 YEARS OLD! Her birthday party was this past weekend and she had the time of her life. I know every mother out there talks about how fast time flies and it’s quite possibly the most true and real thing in this world. Year 3 was quite possibly the …
James Brody: Five Months Old
Happy five month birthday to this sweet, smiling baby boy! For the first time in a long time, I can say that this month didn’t fly by too fast and it wasn’t quite as crazy. Don’t get me wrong, there were some crazy days, but overall more toned down. This momma definitely needed it. Of …
James Brody: Four Months Old
Well it’s clear that I’m a second time mom because I’m just now getting around to Brody’s four month update and he turned 4 months on December 27th. Yes, 11 days ago. Such is life. It was smack dab in the middle of the holidays and I don’t blog a lot from mid-December to mid-January. …
2018 A Year in Review
Oh my this year was a fast one. Looking back on it, I think I say this every year. The days are long, but the years are short. This statement may be cliche and overused, but it couldn’t be more true. There are days I have wondered how we’ll make it to the next, and …
James Brody: Three Months Old
I think I blinked and another month passed by. More than a month in fact because my baby turned 3 months old last Tuesday! I may have forgotten because I thought he would be 3 months on the 29th. Nope. He was born on the 27th and Chloe on the 29th. He’s clearly a second …
What’s in a Name: James Brody
Years ago I wrote a post about the reason I chose the name for this blog and that spiraled into the meaning of Chloe’s name and how we chose it. I thought it would be fun to do the same thing for our Brody boy! {Take a look at Chloe’s name post if you’re interested!} First let’s look at …
James Brody: Two Months Old
Another month has flown by with this sweet boy! I did monthly updates with Chloe and I want to make sure I do them for Brody as well for a couple of reasons. First of all, I want to look back and have a way to remember everything about his first year of life! It’s …
Friday Five as a Family of Four
Oh man what a week! Since today is Friday, it marks the end of 7 weeks with my amazing husband at home with us. Next week is his final week of paternity leave and that’s when the real fun begins. My life is about to get a lot crazier and busier, but that’s what this …
