Each month with Felix continues to get somehow more and more fun! This sunshine, smiling, and now laughing boy fills our hearts to the brim. When we walk into the room and make eye-contact with him, his whole face lights up and he smiles with his whole body. This month, he has started loving books […]

Felix | Five Months

Four months to me feels like a huge chunk of time. Felix made a lot of developmental leaps this month and it has been such an immense joy to get to be a witness to it! He learned to roll from his back to his front and started playing with toys. He also shows interest […]

Felix | Four Months

This was the month of discovering Felix’s personality! More and more he becomes his own little person with likes and dislikes. He is hilarious and sweet and he loves to be with his mom and dad. Xav is Felix’s favorite person and it is so sweet to watch them play together. This month, we got […]

Felix | Three Months

And just like that Felix is two months old! He gained EPIC thighs this month, lost most of his dark hair, grew eyebrows (I think he has one Xav eyebrow and one Em eyebrow), and he started smiling when he recognizes someone. At Felix’s 6 week midwife appointment, he was 11lbs 4oz and he ran […]

Felix | Two Months

I need to take Felix’s two month photos here this upcoming weekend and I realized I never posted his one month photos! It is wild how much more alert Felix became in his first month! After learning to eat, he became a huge fan and quickly gained several pounds. As you can tell from my […]

Felix | One Month

If you know me, you know that this is going to be super long and wordy. I love photos, but I also love super detailed stories so here we go… It is still humorous to me that the last wordy post I made (about pregnancy insomnia of all things) was written the day before we […]

Felix Wilder | Birth Story

I am still working on typing out Felix’s birth story, but I’ve finished editing his newborn photos and I can’t handle how much I love them! Felix’s first week of life was spent mostly trying to figure out how to help him eat. He ended up having a lip and tongue tie that made nursing […]

Felix Wilder Newborn Photos

The pregnancy insomnia is real. All of my friends keep telling me that this is preparing me to be up all night with my baby, but I truly wouldn’t mind sleeping all night until he arrives! I meant to sit down and journal yesterday, but I got carried away with to do lists. Since I […]

Late Night Journaling

After our miscarriage in August of 2020, I wanted to get pregnant again so badly. It was the main thought that consumed me. I imagined that getting pregnant again would take away the horrible ache and pain I was feeling and I thought I wanted that pain gone more than anything. A few months passed […]

Day to Day, August to August

INTRODUCTION AND MY WHY Well helloooooo. It’s been a hot second (or a casual five months) since I’ve been around Instagram or any social media for that matter… it has honestly been a super needed break and I don’t know if or when I will rejoin the gram. A quick intro for those of you […]
