I cannot believe I’m typing this. Cue the water works!! But our baby girl is ONE today. How? I don’t know, but here we are. So much has happened in the last year since welcoming Kennedy… We’ve traveled a lot, lost and gained family members, moved to a new house, and made new friends. Most importantly, we became parents and have entered a whole new adventure as a family of three. Kennedy has brought SO much joy to our lives and being her mom is the best thing ever. She seriously makes us laugh so much every single day. She is the happiest and easiest baby! We are beyond blessed…

I cannot believe that Kennedy is going to be one next week!!! Where did the time go!? One of the most frequently asked questions I’ve gotten since having her is all about our favorite things and products. I’ve done a monthly recap for the last eleven months of all our favorite things but today I’m rounding up the best of the best essentials for the first twelve months of your baby’s life, including lots of fun toys and savings, too… :)

Hope everyone had a great long weekend! I’m a couple days late getting this post out (Kennedy was eleven months on Sunday) but wanted to share our favorite things this month and a little update on her. This month has been a busy one! We went on a vacation to Utah, our longest trip yet with her, and are gearing up to celebrate her first birthday in a few weeks. I honestly have no idea how she’s about to turn one…

During my pregnancy with Kennedy there was no question in my mind that I wanted to try and breastfeed. I had no idea what it would entail and if I’d even be able to do so successfully. I have spoken very openly about breastfeeding and truth be told, I have been very lucky because all things considered, it has been a very easy thing for both Kennedy and I. I realize that’s not the case for everyone and before I go any further, I believe FED is best. However you decide to feed your baby is 100% your decision and there is no right or wrong answer. Today I wanted to share a little bit about my story and journey with breastfeeding for the first time though…

How our little angel is ten months old is beyond me! That means we’re just two months from her first birthday, which Lord knows I am not ready for! The last couple of months, in particular, have been so fun with Kennedy becoming mobile, starting to mimic some words, and just feel like a big girl instead of a little baby now. Time is moving so fast and she is constantly changing. Fun but heartbreaking all at the same time…
