E's 1st 6 Months

9/2019: Postnatal Yoga class with my chunky bean.

Baby girl has her 6 month appointment today and it got me thinking about some of her cute milestones:

Month 1- Gaining much needed weight after her tongue-tie procedure (phew!)
Month 2- Smiling!
Month 3- GIGGLES!
Month 4- Tummy timing like a champ and being SO chatty.
Month 5- Sleeping through the night. YES.
Month 6- Sitting up unassisted and being more playful.

And to think, there's still so much more to come!

35!

A month before E arrived...waiting for me to finish staring at cakes.

Happiest of birthdays to my sweet husband, life partner, & papa extraordinaire! Still can't believe that we've celebrated a decade of birthdays together. May this year be one of your absolute favorites. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Welcome Back!

It's been months since my unintentional break from blogging! Unfortunately, juggling my work with home life has been quite a challenge! I'm learning the value of prioritizing what's important to me and my family. I've learned that work is work and it's okay to leave on time (which is a very hard thing to do when you're a social worker). I've learned that my real job doesn't start until I get home (!!!) so I have to maintain my boundaries. But as I sit here at 5am while my little family sleeps, I've decided that we have some catching up to do!

Here's a quick recap of what's happened since 8/2019 and expect some *detailed* posts soon!

- Went back to work full-time in September.
- Struggled with finding good, dependable childcare.
- Took some interesting continuing education courses for career development.
- Started eating a more plant-based diet.
- Watched my tiny human continue to grow.
- Figured out how to mom (...that's a work in progress...)

Thank you to the internets for my tiny little corner of it!
