James | One Year Old

I can’t believe it, I now have a toddler. That’s right, my baby is now a one year old. A year ago I was holding my sweet little newborn. Today, that same newborn is taking his first steps. A year of keeping this precious boy safe and healthy while watching him grow has gone by in the blink of an eye. It truly …

James at 11 Months Old

Today my baby is 11 months old. I can’t believe it. I know I’ve been saying this at every month but time does go quickly when they are young. In the blink of an eye my little newborn turned into an always moving 11 month old. James at 11 Months Old He can climb the stairs. He loves climbing the …

James at 10 Months Old

This post is a tad late but last Tuesday James turned 10 months old. Everyday he’s become more and more like a toddler and less like the small baby I brought home from the hospital. I know I’ve mentioned this but it bears repeating. I was not a fan of the infant stage. In fact I hated it. Lack of …

James at 9 Months Old

Ahh. I can’t believe it. My baby has been in the “real” world longer than I grew him in my belly. Today he’s 9 months old and it feels like a big milestone.

6 Months Old

It’s hard to believe that my baby is already 6 months old (well he was 6 months yesterday). That it’s only been 6 months and there are already things I miss. Like his tiny newborn clothes and how he slept all the time. I miss most how he used to nap on my chest. It was the best feeling ever. …

Now that I’ve been doing this parenting thing for almost 6 month (and to a fairly easy baby) clearly I’m an expert. Hahaha. But all joking aside, there are certain things I do to stay productive during the day so I can get things done whether it be around the house or in my shop or on the blog. Some …

5 Months Old

I can’t believe my baby is already 5 months old. The time really has gone by fast. It feels like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. James at 5 months: Rolls over from his back to his tummy, only on his right side. And a few times he’s gone from tummy to back but it’s usually the …
