🤩 With stars in her eyes she said to me, “You know what mom, I had plans to be the first woman on the moon but daddy told me that mission is already scheduled. So I decided I’ll just be the first person that walks on Mars instead.” And you know what? With the amount of conviction in her little voice, I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if this is the photo they’re flashing on tv years from now as her rocket takes off to Mars 🚀✨

9 Months ❤️of our rosy cheek Josie😊 She has so many fun little quirks right now that I am just so in love with. The full-arm-extension clap. Her deep throaty giggle. The adorably coy way she hides her face against me and peeks out. How she still sings herself to sleep. She’s not quite officially crawling but definitely gets where she wants to go by any means necessary. She’s such a cuddle bug and I melt every time she puts her head on my shoulder or runs her little hand through my hair. Her favorite toys right now are books, bath boats, drum, and anything she can bang together. She loves “I’m going to get you” and tickle games, peek-a-boo, knocking down blocks, and putting herself right in the middle of whatever the big kids are doing. This month has been tough. A big one for food allergies. A completely backwards month for sleep. And an exasperating month as we try to calm her eczema flares. Always happiest in my arms and I’m enjoying every squeeze because i have a feeling it’s not long before she’s zooming off on her own.

I love you, my little Josie Lu! 💗 It feels like we’ve been going in circles for the last month with allergists, scratch tests, blood labs, food challenges, and more food challenges. And finally here we are: content. We have some answers and a plan that will keep us on a safe and steady path for now and I’m grateful to feel a sense of relief and optimism that I don’t often feel as a long time allergy mom. Josie passed both her baked milk and baked egg challenges, making it possible to keep baked products in her diet which will hopefully lead to tolerance of other forms in the long run 🤞🏻 Thank you, as always, for following along, sending love and kind words, and praying for my sanity when I’m stuck in a small food challenge room for hours upon hours with a mobile baby 🤪😘

And since we’ve no place to go...❄️ The snow this week has done wonders to reset our mid-winter fatigue. It was a much needed break from our gloomy day monotony to have a reason to get out in the fresh, crisp, air and play 🤗! Pulling the three of them piled in the sled today was just about the cutest and just what I needed 🥰

“Favorite Things” FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

“Favorite Things” FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

Harper's first birthday party was ALL about HER and featured all of her "Favorite Things"! Her number 1- no question about it- favorite thing as a one-year-old was her little collection of elephants. So they obviously became a major element in her birthday party, appearing both on the top of her sprinkle smash cake as well as on the birthday parade fabric I bought to use as a ...

“Party Animal” FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

“Party Animal” FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

Oh, baby, baby, you're a wild ONE! I instantly fell in love with the idea of a "Wild One" first birthday party; however, we turned the fun factor up a notch by making it a "Party Animal" theme! I've had a disappointing track record when ordering birthday cakes that just don't come out how I've imagined them, so I opted to make made a simple blue smash cake ...
