Weight: I'm going to guess around 15 lbs Eating: Mainly mama's milk! On weekdays when he is in daycare he nurses at 7am, and gets 2 bottles of breastmilk at 10am and 1pm. He gets a bottle of formula at 4pm, then I nurse him again around 7pm for bed. His bottles at daycare are 5oz. He still eats twice a night :( Sleeping: We've been changing things a lot, but I think we've finally found our consistent nighttime routine! He is back in our room for now, in the pack n' play. I nurse him around 7:00/7:30pm and he's asleep by 8:20. He wakes up anytime between 12:30 and 3:00am to eat and then again about 2.5 hours later. However , he has started sleeping through in between those feedings, so I'm okay with it! He takes 4 naps, 9am, 11am 1:30ish and then 4:30 when we leave daycare. Clothes: Some 3-6 months, but more and more the 6 month! Likes: People! Smiling and laughing, blowing bubbles, talking!! Saying "ohhhhh" a lot! Disli...

I feel like everyone has got something going on these days. From homemade crafts, to workout groups, to kitchen ware, to jewelry - and then even blogs and instagram - its almost rare if you aren't making money in a "non-traditional" way! I have some very talented friends and family who have chosen these paths! My cousin Hayden just launched her own Etsy shop selling custom art , Melanie is making beautiful kids clothing at The Twirl Shop , and Katherine designs birth announcements and invitations ! My sister was a BeachBody coach for a little while and had us all drinking those shakes! Women are getting paid to write about products they love, share links to fashion sites and any other kind of advertising you can do on a blog! And all of these things are wonderful! If you have the talent and passion, pursue it! I am SO excited to say that my "something" is Rodan+Fields skincare! My friend Susan first approached me about it back in July and I ignored ...
Wow, it was SO crazy to write that title. It's so cliche, but I can hardly believe I have a 2 AND A HALF year old! This kid. He is hysterical. Even in the last 3 months he has grown so much. He talks non stop. And he is funny! He knows when he is being silly and sly, like responding to questions with the "wrong" answer as a game. He loves cars and trucks. One of his favorite things to do with Aaron is go to Target and look at the toys - and is okay leaving without one! He also loves "moooovies". He is caring and compassionate and if he thinks I am sad about something he'll always come over and give me a hug and kiss! He is getting so tall. I look back at pictures of him and realize all of the baby has come out. He is becoming this long, lanky thing. He's in 2T/3T clothes and size 8/9 shoes. He also has decided he has preferences, so whether it is which shirt he is wearing (mater) or which pants (the brown ones) or which pajamas (bears or...
Weight: 13.8 lbs! 81st % Eating: Still breastfeeding! Got rid of "Moms on Call" and went to a more manageable/natural schedule. He eats around 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. Then has been recently waking up to eat twice at night. Sleeping: Weeks 6-8 were rough. We were dealing with the moving around, gurgling, choking noises. Then both boys got a big of a head cold, so Ben was waking up way more with congestion and it seemed like the only thing he wanted was to nurse. That led us to one night at about 8 weeks waking up and nursing every 1.5 hours. I was pretty done at that point. Our plan was to have Aaron get him settled on the "non-eating" wake-ups, and that worked pretty well. Then our pediatrician, at his 2 month appointment, strongly encouraged us to get him out of our room and let him cry a little to see if he really need to wake up or could just go back to sleep. Since then, it's been a much more pleasant experience. I nurse him to sleep arou...
It's that time again! Time to share all the "not so perfect" parenting moments that have happened recently! I love this link-up and the way it helps us realize that even though our Instagram reels might seem like we have it all together, we all mostly likely don't! Here are some of the "highlights" of our month so far! - I always bring coffee in a regular mug into the car and it is always too big for the cup holder and spill. This month, I used a clean newborn diaper to soak up the spilled coffee in my car. (At least I cleaned it!) - Speaking of the car - it is disgusting. So many sippy cups, clothes, blankets, etc. Also, I knowingly allowed leftover pizza to sit in the trunk for a few days because it has been so cold out that I knew it wouldn't start to smell. - I very happily got to pop pimples on both my boys this month! - After declaring my dislike for Facebook Messenger last month, I downloaded the app literally 2 days later. - Being the ...
