◤ S E V E N M O N T H S ◢ he looks like such a big kid in the last photo 🥹🤍
January 23, 2023
⋆15 lbs 12 oz
⋆Babbles "da", growls like a lion, & screeches like a pterodactyl
⋆Independently sitting!
⋆Rocks back & forth on his hands & knees
⋆Has a crush on @msrachelforlittles
⋆Loves standing to play but needs help to get there
⋆Had his first (and hopefully last) trip to the ER
⋆Loves: solid foods, drinking water out of his sippy cup, blowing raspberries, reading books and grabbing the pages, rolling, sitting to play with his toys, his reflection, Hey Bear Sensory, when people make funny noises, his sissy, splashing in the bath, petting his puppy Bo
⋆Dislikes: when sissy cries, if you eat food in front of him and don't offer him some, sleeping 🥴

I've never been so scared in my life. You hear about babies turning blue and going unresponsive, but you never think it'll happen to your babies. We still don't have all the answers for what exactly happened, but fortunately, he's back to his normal, smiley self 🤍
Thank you, Lord, for watching over and protecting my baby. Thank you to the first responders: our friend/neighbor/captain of the fire department, Joe, the police officers, the paramedics. Thank you to our parents and the caring ER hospital staff.
Hug your littles, hug your loved ones, and never ever take a single second for granted 🫶🏽

Highlight of my 2022: seeing Eva become a big sister to Easton and watching them become best friends 🤍 It's crazy but I can't imagine my world without Easton now, and I don't think Eva can either -- she absolutely adores him! She has become such a big helper and is always looking out for him. @nukusababy makes it easy for her to even help with his feedings with NUK®'s Smooth Flow™ Pro Anti-Colic Bottle, which keeps him happy and colic-free! 🍼 My heart is so full. I freaking love these two babes of mine 🤍🤍
I can't wait to see what 2023 will bring! 🎊

Eva and Easton's first time out in the snow together ❄️ I am fully convinced that there's truly nothing better than these kinds of moments -- especially during the holiday season! 🥹🤍 @nukusababy makes it even easier to enjoy time together as a family by helping keep my baby happy and colic-free with NUK®'s Smooth Flow™ Pro Anti-Colic Bottle! 🍼
What are some of your favorite holiday traditions you do each year with your family? I think enjoying warm drinks together after playing in the snow is one of my new favorites! ☕🥰

"My baby, you are still my baby, I promise. Even t

"My baby, you are still my baby, I promise.
Even though in one moment, everything seems different. You suddenly look so much older and feel so much heavier.
I want someone to hold your new little [brother], so I can hold you and tell you everything is going to be okay, because I need to believe it too.
There will be hard days to come, days I will crave your forgiveness when I don’t get it right.
Days when I expect more from you for no reason, other than you now being the oldest.
Each and every day, I will prove to you that even though there are two of you now, my love will never be halved, even though my time with you is less right now.
More than ever, I need you, my child, as much as you need me." 🤍
Words by Gemma Douglas

Eva: 1, Hip Dysplasia: 0
I'm forever proud of this little girl for her constant strength and resilience 🤍
Thanks to the harness, Eva's hips no longer dislocate and she will have a normal childhood and adulthood. She can play all the sports she wants to, without limitations. She can run as fast as she wants to. She can swim and hike and dance and jump without worries or limitations.
If you're a parent of a child with DDH and you feel overwhelmed, know that you're not alone, that it WILL get better, and that it's all SO worth it! Pat yourself on the back for being such an amazing parent to advocate for your baby and give them the care that they need and that they deserve!
The link in my bio has a direct link to one of my blog posts where you can read about Eva's journey with DDH, along with tips and tricks to make the experience a lot less overwhelming 🤍

Bye-bye tummy aches! 👋🏼 @whimzybaby 's bell

Bye-bye tummy aches! 👋🏼
@whimzybaby 's belly bands are great for helping ease tummy aches in infants:
❊ They help to mimic the benefits tummy time has on the belly by recreating the pressure when baby is on their stomach.
❊ That gentle pressure and warmth helps soothe any discomfort your little one might be feeling.
❊ Buttery soft bamboo fabric and an organic cotton lining
❊ They can be worn all day, fit comfortably under clothing and are comfortable for baby to move around in.
I don't leave the house without packing a #WhimzyBaby belly band in the diaper bag! 🙌🏼

It honestly gives me so much peace of mind! 🙌🏼
We have been using @babysensemonitors since Eva was born and now that we have 2 babies, we upgraded to their new HD split-screen monitor. I LOVE that I can watch both Eva and Easton in their separate rooms simultaneously in real-time 👶🏻👶🏻
Some of my fav features:
• HD cameras that pan 360° and tilt (comes with 2 but can connect up to 4)
• Monitor has a large 5" screen with crystal clear display -- I can literally zoom in to see my kids' chests rise/fall as they're breathing 🤯
• Talk-to-baby feature
• Cameras have built-in in white noise, lullabies and adjustable night lights
• Monitor has insanely long battery life
• Non WiFi, hack-proof & private!
I truly can't recommend this baby camera+monitor set enough!

Eva is saying and doing something new almost every

Eva is saying and doing something new almost every day lately and her imagination is exploding. I'm so grateful that my maternity leave offers me (obviously) time with my newborn, but time with my ever-changing toddler too. It has been so fun being able to watch her grow and learn this summer, without missing a single moment 🤍
Some of my favorite moments are watching her learn through playing with her @lovevery toys and cheering her on as she works through new challenges. #Lovevery creates products that are not only natural, organic and sustainable, but also backed by research to promote your child's brain development! 🧠 check out the link in my bio to learn more + shop!

How are you already 8 weeks old when it feels like

How are you already 8 weeks old when it feels like you were just born yesterday? 🥺 I'm soaking up every moment I can with you while you're tiny and still crave contact naps with Mama 🤍
Let me tell you why I love baby-wearing with @sollybaby :
• baby snuggles -- it almost doesn't get better than that
• parent + baby bonding
• baby feels safe -- it instantly soothes him when he's fussy because he loves being held
• easier to multi-task around the house, especially when I also have a busy toddler
• @sollybaby is a hip-healthy product (something I'm a huge advocate for since my daughter had developmental hip dysplasia!)
Easton is wearing a super soft @sollybaby sleeper in the color "flax". My #sollybaby wrap is in the color "basil".

For the first time since bringing her little broth

For the first time since bringing her little brother home, Eva tried to pick him up and asked to hold him 🥺❤️ she of course needed a little help because she's so young but also, he's more than double her weight already 🙈😅 Easton totally lights up into the happiest baby when he sees his big sister -- it's the cutest thing ever! Ahh I can't wait to see their friendship blossom 🥰

She's only a year and a half, but she pays attenti

She's only a year and a half, but she pays attention. I've noticed that she watches my every move and she has started copying me. Everything I do with her or her baby brother, she wants to do with her baby dolls and stuffed animals. She puts them under the play gym, she feeds them and burps them, she gives them kisses and really big hugs, she carries them in her own @happybaby doll carrier, she politely tells me to "shhh" when they are sleeping, she even asks for help getting a diaper on them haha.
While all of that is super cute, it has actually been a huge eye opener for me. If she sees how I love and care for her and her brother, she sees other things too. Like how I treat and speak to others. How I handle conflict and stress. How much time I spend on my phone. How I talk about my body. How I deal with my feelings. I'm learning how important it is that I set a positive example for my kids with just daily life stuff. I'm inspired to be the best role model for my biggest little fans 🤍

This past weekend, Noah graduated from fire academy! 🔥👨🏽‍🚒🎓
In the last 7.5 months, not only has Noah been working his normal 9-5 as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, but he has also been attending night classes, going to drill, volunteering in the community with the fire department and responding to fire calls, all while being the best dad ever to his daughter and newborn son.
To say that it has been a tough adjustment would be an understatement, but all of his hard work and dedication has truly paid off. I'm so freaking proud of this (fire)man. See what I did there? 😉 love you, @noah_bularz ! ❤️

#worldbreastfeedingweek "This isn't a week to pret

#worldbreastfeedingweek "This isn't a week to pretend like we've arrived in some existence where everyone has the ability (or desire) to exclusively breastfeed and we're all showered in confetti.
It's a week to be honest about the challenges, barriers and lack of support we face as parents who desire to breastfeed.
It's a week to celebrate our unique journeys, and the big spectrum of what "successful" breastfeeding can look like.
It's a week to honor those who have struggled, fought and found a way to feed their children in unique circumstances.
It's a week to feel empathy alongside those who feel judgement in some of the rhetoric that we'll inevitably see.
This week can expand support and education if we choose to approach it with compassion and honesty."

My babies playing together for the first time 🥲

My babies playing together for the first time 🥲
Now that Easton is more alert during wake-windows, I've started incorporating some simple Montessori toys during his "play time" to improve his visual tracking, his interest in shapes/colors, and his tolerance to tummy-time.
I love @lovevery toys because they always have something for every kid, no matter their age. I'm able to find developmentally appropriate toys for both Eva and Easton through Lovevery's subscription play kits, but also now through the exclusive Lovevery for Target collection! 🙌🏼
So cool to now be able to shop stand-alone Lovevery playthings! Check out www.lovevery.com/target to see which Target stores near you carry Lovevery! ❤️

⋆ Sleeping 5 hour stretches at night
⋆ Super cute dramatic yawns
⋆ Gummy sleepy smiles & gassy giggles
⋆ Very very alert when awake

⋆ Indifferent about tummy time, loud noises & Eva poking his nose
⋆ Loves: chest-to-chest snuggles & naps, being held & carried, his swing, baths, car rides, his pacifier (but can't keep it in his mouth very well), staring at mama, staring at black & white contrast cards

My husband went back to work 2 weeks ago and I'm not gonna lie, the last few weeks have been fcking hard trying to adjust to life with a toddler and a newborn 😅 sometimes a little pep-talk is really helpful haha
Don't get me wrong, we've have good moments and good-ish days sprinkled in, but oof those rough days are....rough. Easton is struggling with some reflux, Eva is struggling with some jealousy and I'm struggling with some postpartum anxiety. I'm so lucky to have my bff mom, my husband and my friends constantly reminding me that I'm a good mom and I'm doing great-- because it's easy to forget that while you're living in the chaos on survival-mode. I've been at my wits' end a couple times but I'm trying to remind myself that even though these long days sometimes feel soooo long, the years are short. I'm embracing every tiny newborn snuggle and toddler hug that I can, because time truly is a thief!

Loving every moment I get with this little girl 🤍 Time goes too quickly and I don't want to miss anything with Eva, just because we have a newborn at home now too.
I'm trying to make sure she feels included with everything I do with Easton, but I'm also trying to make sure I carve out time for just mommy+Eva. Recommendations and ideas are totally welcome for ways to help a toddler adjust to being a big sibling!

Postpartum isn't all that ✨️glamorous✨️ I

Postpartum isn't all that ✨️glamorous✨️
In my adult diaper. With a crampy, bloated belly. Blood clots. Raw nipples. Achy, sore muscles. Tired eyes. A surge in hormones and a rollercoaster of emotions.
But I have a full, thankful heart.
Thankful for a body that could carry the weight of my baby safely to full-term.
Thankful for that now-loosened skin that stretched right along with my heart.
Thankful for my body knowing what to do and being able to do something so hard.
I have never been so proud of my body.
Sure, this body who just brought my son into the world a few hours prior, isn't all that ✨️glamorous✨️, but it's strong, amazing, beautiful, and really freaking cool 🤍
