    Jack: 8 Month Update

    Jackers. Happy 8 months big boy! I know I said last month that you started lots of new things, but I think you’ve learned even more this month! Even since last month, I’ve noticed that little by little your baby face is slowly fading away.  What’s not fading however is your chubby little cheeks! I swear I could just kiss those things all day long. I’ve never seen a baby with such kissable cheeks! You still have just two little bottom teeth and you like to do this thing where you rub your lip against your teeth. You are drooling and mouthing like crazy and I will be so glad…

    5 on Friday + Weekend Recap

    On a Monday. But better late than never, right? One. Our niece spent the night on Friday and Ben and her helped give Jack a bath.

It seems like you literally have to keep your children right next to you at all times it seems. I hope this family can find some comfort and peace. Alright…let’s try to focus on something more positive shall we? J had the most beautiful roses delivered to my office for Valentine’s Day.  That night…

    5 on Friday: Valentine’s Edition

    Happy Valentine’s Day! This 5 on Friday is all about L-O-V-E. One. The fabulous hosts of this link up requested everyone to dedicate their first picture on this week’s 5 to Teddy using the hashtag ” #TeamTeddy.” Teddy is an ADORABLE 7 month old boy who was diagnosed with Menke’s Syndrome which is also known as “kinky hair syndrome.” It’s a rare and fatal genetic disease that affects 1 in 450,000 children in the US.
