Dear Peanut - you love food! You went from only wanting breastmilk to devouring everything we put in front of you.  You are also growing up too fast. One day you are learning how to sit up by yourself, the next day you are ready to start crawling. Soon enough you'll be running marathons. ♡♡♡ SEVEN MONTHS SLEEP Your sleep during the day is pretty good.  You take a quick nap on the morning car ride and then 2-3 naps at daycare.  However once the sun goes down, you turn into a different little boy.  It starts with the car ride home.  You used to[...]

Dear Peanut - you've had your first taste of something other than breastmilk (avocado) and after a few tries you are OBSESSED! (just like Mom) You've sorta mastered rolling from back to front but only do it when nobody is watching, and you can finally sit up by yourself.. but only for a limited time before you tip over. Happy half birthday buddy! ♡♡♡ Six Months SLEEP At 6 months, you finally slept through the night! Unfortunately, it only lasted a couple days.  You got sick again, this time with a nasty cold and cough that had you waking up every[...]

Dear Peanut - Everyone at daycare adores you, and why shouldn't they? You are such a sweet and happy baby. Always smiling! You are discovering the world around you and get easily distracted.  You love being held (not really picky on who), and you prefer to nurse over bottle. ♡♡♡ five months SLEEP According to your teachers, you are such a good sleeper. You go down easily for naps and always wake up with a smile. I'm not quite sure what happens to that little boy when we come home because I can't say the same about your night sleep.  You are stil[...]

Dear Peanut - You are a such a curious little boy! Always on the lookout for new sights and sounds.  You are also smiling all the time now, and have started to giggle for real too! Oh.. and that hair of yours? It has become your signature style. ♡♡♡ four months 15 lbs 8 oz | 16.34 in SLEEP Well, where do I start? Sleep training went down south the moment we stepped foot on the plane.  When we got to China you were too jet-lagged to fall into a sleep routine, and once you adjusted to the time change, it was time to come home. We tried sleep trai[...]

Dear Peanut - 90 days in and you have officially graduated from the newborn stage. Time flies! Currently your favorite pastimes are laying on Mom and Dad's chest or playing on your activity mat.  You love reaching for the toys above, and also enjoy being rocked to sleep. ♡♡♡ three months 15lbs 4oz || 24.84 inches EAT You are double your birth weight, buddy! At your doc's appointment you measured to be in the 80-90% percentile in both height and weight, which means you are healthy and strong, and our breastfeeding journey is well on track. Yay![...]

DEAR PEANUT - you are one month old today and I can hardly believe it!  The last 30 days have been a complete blur, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  You don't have many hobbies yet, but you sure love to eat and sleep (guess we have that in common!) You hate getting your diaper changed and you may or may not have peed on daddy a couple times already. read more[...]

Almost at the third trimester mark, isn't it crazy? I swear sometimes it feels like I've been pregnant since forever.  While other times, it feels like it was just yesterday.  A lot has happened since my last update.  We had our second trimester screening as well as my gestational diabetes test.  Thankfully, both appointments had good results. Here's an update at week 26 so far: WEEK 26 BUMPDATE Baby is the size of kale! ANY MOVEMENT? YESSSSS!!! I started feeling little peanut kick around week 23 and the kicks are getting stronger and stronger eac[...]
