Happy 4 Months Caleb!
Happy Four Months Baby Boy! His Stats: We went to the doctor for his check up and he is 14 lbs (22%) and 26.25 ” (90+ %). Ironically, these are my favorite monthly pictures of him. He looks oh so happy in them, but this has been a really, really hard month. More on that later, though. He is cooing,…

Happy Three Months Caleb!
Happy Three Months Caleb Paul! His stats: Our guess is that you now are about 13 lbs and somewhere between 25 and 26 inches long. You are super sweet and getting less fussy and a little more predictable. I try to have you on a 3 hr schedule- Eat, Awake/Play time, Sleep. Unfortunately the sleep part usually doesn’t last too…

I’ve only been a Mom for 3 weeks, and they have been 3 very…

C’s Nursery and Other Preparations
July was quite the stressful month! My little sister got married to the love of her life at the end of the month (her wedding was so much fun) and so there was a lot of celebrating and preparing for that. I also had some crazy ordeals with grad school that I won’t go into here, but August 11th I…

#tbt Remembering God’s Faithfulness
I recently got the timehop app on my phone. It pulls from facebook statues and pictures posted in past years on that same day each time. I have really loved seeing where I was on this very day 2 years ago, 5 years ago, etc. I have also found it very helpful in cultivating a heart of gratitude. There is…

A+B = C
Deciding a child’s name feels like a momentous decision! I mean there are all these pieces of advice out there: pick a unique name, a family name, a common name, a name with meaning. I am often extremely indecisive (to which Bryan and anyone in my family will nod their head yes) and so I decided to give myself some…
