The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Six Month Update

Credit to Ashley Yvonne Photography

Weight/Length: He kinda slowed down this month, weighing in around 14 lbs. 8 oz. Not sure on his height or head circumference, but I will update this when we visit doctor and have a doctor’s scale.

Hair: I’m surprised his hair is getting lighter! In some of his Valentine’s day pictures he has highlights of blonde. Definitely has gotten lighter since birth. He also has some LONG hairs in the back and over his ears.

Diapers: Size 2 Honest Company and Medium Gdiapers–even though we may need to move to size 3 at night, we’ve had a couple leaks at night.

Clothing: 3-6 Months in Gap, Old Navy, and Gymboree. 6 Months in Carters, with some 9 month things here and there.

Favorite Things: Tool chest, rattle noise makers, stroller rides, swing, bath tub

Likes: He likes grabbing things with his hands, talking to people on FaceTime, going to swim and My Gym, eating, and blowing raspberries

Dislikes: He doesn’t like when he gets stuck trying to roll over. When he finally rolls over he loves it, but the process getting there he doesn’t like. He also doesn’t like when I leave him and say goodnight for his second and third naps.


Milestones: He is standing when holding on to things (obviously we are behind him), sitting up by himself, scooting backwards, scooting in circles, transferring things between hands (and into mouth)

Sleeping: Well last night he was only up once, but the night before 2 times. Nights are purely unpredictable. His naps during day are like clock work even though he fights you for maybe 15 minutes, he falls asleep and generally stays asleep for about an hour and half each time. 




Mama Thoughts:

It’s crazy to think that 6 months ago today I was preparing to have my sweet baby boy. These past few months have been challenging, exhausting, and fun al in a nutshell. I wouldn’t trade these past few months for anything. I can’t wait to watch our boy continue to grow over the next six months. We love this boy so much and couldn’t imagine our lives without him.

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion. My youngest even joins in for our morning breakfast devotion, and then reads and plays while we complete social studies and science. What’s your special moment each day?
Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂
I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda liking this mom gig. 💁🏼‍♀️ My baby turns 8 on Sunday and is having his birthday party this weekend. I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
