8 months



8 months ago i brought a baby into the world.
somedays it feels like a lifetime ago, i've been a mom forever.
other days it feels like yesterday + i. know. nothing.
but let me tell you, 
i can't remember what life was like without this kid anymore.
he's full of energy, full of learning + growth.
eli crawls, stands, scoots + laughs like he was born to do it.
my favorite things about him lately is taking him shopping with me.
he's so happy to be out of the house, he's like his mamma, 
+ is perfectly content to sit in the cart or sling + take it all in.
two days ago i found some teeth pushing through so we are just waiting for those suckers to make their entrance! 
happy 8 months baby eli!

6 months

Thursday, September 8, 2016

so wednesday, eli baby turned half a year old.
that was the fastest, slowest, best, hardest, happiest 6 months of my life.
period. 
i've been a MOM FOR 6 MONTHS.
whoa.

eli is happy + clingy.
he is always ready for food, always ready to stand on daddy.
he loves the pool, the bath, the sink.
 he's a fish.
he smiles real big + screams real loud.
he's the best part of my day + the worst parts of my nights ;) 
we are still working on that sleeping thing....
he is SO close to crawling + is upset that he hasn't figured out the arm movement.
some of my favorite memories have been watching jay, 
crawl around on the floor,
"teaching" eli to get it, to crawl.


i'm so proud of the parents we have become in 6 short months.
it's been the best adventure yet.
love you jay + here is to our baby, our work as parents + our journey getting here,
6 months.

4 months

Thursday, July 7, 2016


before i even START this blogpost,
yes...i know i misspelt my sons NAME.
ironically i've misspelt something every month, for three mothns ;) *months now...
if this isn't the poster child for mommy brain...i really don't know what is....
k, on to the good stuff... 



i mean, i feel the same way eli that you are 4 moths old....
WHERE did these last 4 months go?!
eli is currently 15 pounds 4 oz, hello chunk, + since the 4th of july,
he has become all sorts of mobile, rollin each way which means no more solitary eli.
it's so so much fun to watch this little nugget scoot around though 
+ even more fun now to watch him play.

also, i'm pretty sure eli went through his 4 month sleep regression a few weeks early because, 
major knock on wood, he's slept until 5 am these last few nights 
+ this mama has been over the moon about it.
he's a drooler, a puppy snuggler, loves his daddy (he won't feed or pay attention to me when jay gets home, it's the sweetest thing) + is obsessed with his mama.
this boy gets more + more fun with each passing week +
it's the only thing keeping me okay with time passing quickly.

 he isn't feeling small in my arms anymore,
his chunky thighs are off my lap while nursing 
+ he's learning to be more independent.
but, nothing is comparing to nursing right now, 
when his little hands are placed on my chest 
+ his eye's are glued to mine the entire time?
it doesn't get sweeter than this.

3 months.
eli has become such a fun + happy baby.
he did amazing on his first plane ride, road trips + 10 day vacation.
eli is constantly surprising me with how well he adapts to a very easy going schedule 
+ i won't complain one bit.
he's my best.

my baby boy is two months.
TWO MONTHS.
he took his shots like a champ + snuggled the whole day,
am i the worst for selfishly loving the sweet cuddles?
eli is 12.8 pounds, 24.5'' + his head is in the 90th percentile.
dang dude.
while his growing is bittersweet, it been one of my greatest joys to watch his sweet personality grow.
he l o v e s mornings, loves diaper changes + he has really found his voice.
i am loving being a mom more and more each day.
we have our sleepless nights, but weirdly i'm savoring them...he always feels so small in my arms at night + by the way this nugget is growing, i know that won't last long.
happy two months our sweet boy, you sure make life real good.
