life with two
happy 11 months, Penelope
Just one month shy of her first birthday, cracking us up, and making each day even brighter. Hereโs whatโs going on at 11 months:

“Mom, thereโs a cat. Donโt sneeze, ok?” “Olivia, come here!” “My name is not Olivia. Itโs seawater fish. Iโm a cat unicorn. And a cat mermaid. And a cat fairy. I transform into three things.” “Why are you wearing old pants?” “Theyโre distressed; I bought them like this.” “Why do they have holes…

10 months old: cruising, babbling, giggling, and smiling her little heart out. This little lovebug is doing so well, and Iโve mentioned it before, but itโs so hard to believe that this is the same baby as our little reflux baby. She used to have such a hard time eating without crying, vomiting, and possibly…

โThey” say it takes 9 months to put the baby weight on, and 9 months to get it off. I canโt even believe weโre finally here 9 months postpartum. In some ways, I feel far away from where Iโd like to go. In so many ways, Iโm exactly where I need to be. Iโve actually…

This is where I cry about how time has gone too quickly. I feel like with both girls, each age is my very favorite. (Ok, except maybe mid-threes. Those tantrums were rough haha. Thankfully thatโs just a small memory of the past.) Now that weโre past all of the reflux terror, Iโve been able to really…

You guys are going to laugh (especially if youโre an OG blog reader), but this time next year, weโll be living in Valdosta, GA. If youโre unfamiliar with Valdosta, which I used to affectionately call โValdizzyโ on the blog, itโs a quaint southern Georgia town 22 miles from the Florida border. We lived in Valdosta…

When we were in the middle of reflux nightmare, I had a couple of things to look forward to that helped me fight through the difficult times. When P was sitting up, she might be feeling better. When she was crawling, sheโd likely be feeling better. When we was eating solids, weโd likely be out…

Babbling, STANDING (halp me) growing like crazy, and constantly filling the room with her bright smile and belly laughs. Itโs hard to believe that at this point one year ago, I was feeling very uncomfortable and hot, already kind of โoverโ being pregnant, and also couldnโt help but feel nervous about what the future would…
Read More →P’s upper GI test
Yesterday was a bit of an interesting day. P and I went to her usual music class (which we love, and she had a blast bopping around and trying to eat the egg shakers), and then I had to take her to Radiology at the childrenโs hospital for her barium swallow (upper GI) test. This…
Read More →Happy 7 months, Penelope
7 amazing months with this little lovebug. She is still enjoying solid foods, enamored with her big sis, and smiling up a storm. A major milestone for month 7: sheโs no longer on baby Prilosec!!!!! (<โneeds like 12 more exclamation marks)
Read More →my 6- month PDB (post-delivery body)
Hi friends. Since Miss P is just over 6 months, I thought Iโd write a little bit about my postpartum experience thus far since I discussed it after Livโs birth. At 6 months post-birth, mentally, I feel better than I could have imagined. More on all of that in a sec. ๐ Physically, I feel…

Happy half-birthday to you, happy half-birthday to you, happy half-birthday, Miss Penelope Rose, happy half-birthday to you.” This little love bug, who fills our world with so much extra laughter and love, is already half a year old! I canโt even believe it.
