18 Months of James: Milestones, Sleep and More
As part of the content I produce on this blog, I like to include my own story. Why? Because maybe someone can relate. Maybe it will help someone navigate raising their own children. Maybe I can link a few helpful resources that someone needs. I contemplated stopping these milestone updates, but I actually had a…

15 Months of James (Delayed Update)
May the Fourth Be With You… was how I intended to lead into this post, but now we’re about a month late and a dollar short aren’t we? That’s ok – I know some people follow these development update blogs so I thought I’d still share even though we are a bit behind. Disclaimer: this…

One Year of James: Blue Birthday & His Year in Review
What a year it has been! Everyone says it goes by fast and it does, but at the same time it also felt slow at times which I truly have tried to appreciate. I can’t believe my baby is one and now considered a toddler! He will always be my baby boy though. I wanted…

Tips for Transitioning Baby to Their Own Room + Shared Room! {James’ 10 + 11 Month Update}
I’m running behind, again so I figured I just put these two posts together instead of trying to produce a rushed one for ten months. We’ve had a busy little bit, but our biggest change or milestone has been James’ move to his “own” room – which is a shared room with Maggie. I waited…

Things That My 9 Month Old Does That *Just Make Sense* (An Unintended Lesson in Baby Proofing // 9 Months of James Update A Little Late)
Have you seen the trend on Reels/TikTok where it’s like that Italian music overlaid over “things that just make sense” for certain situations? I’ve been thinking about that a lot as James hit this 9 month milestone – because he is SO busy and he does so many things that are simultaneously hilarious, sometimes dangerous…

8 Months of James (The Troublemaker)
This last month has been a busy time for James! If you saw our 7 month update, you’ll know that James started crawling last month – at the end of this past one, he started reciprocal crawling which is crawling on hands and knees (vs. the army crawling he was doing before). So now he…

7 Months of James: On the Move!
He can roll.. he can sit… and now he can crawl! That’s right. This past month, James has been able to push up to sit independently and he started crawling! This little guy is on the move and he’s growing TOO fast, my mama heart is NOT ok. 7 Month Milestones & Abilities Lets take…

James is Half Way to ONE! {6 Month Update}
OH MY GOSH. How are we here though?! I can’t believe I gave birth at home 6 months ago now, and that this little guy has been apart of our lives for that long! I honestly have a hard time remembering life without him (except sleep.. I remember that fondly). I’ll only touch on milestones…

5 Months of James, Affectionately Known as Jimbo
When I named my children, I thought very hard about potential nicknames others might give them. And if there were associated nicknames (which there are with both my kids names), I wanted to be the one to choose what the short form was. I can’t stand when someone calls my kid something else! Why do…

4 Months of James: Let’s Roll!
Here we are again, another monthly milestone post. I felt that 3-4 months felt “longer” than usual and I really took the time to appreciate that. Sadly, I have been so busy creating content for Instagram and recording podcast episodes (and living my life of course) that I haven’t been updating the blog as much…
