paisley – 2 months old

This month went by fast and I feel like she’s really starting to develop - coming into her face, having preferences, creating a schedule of her own, etc. Likes: facing outward eating being talked to her zip up swaddle at night   Dislikes: gas getting in her car seat   Food: Paisley is still a…

rylie – 3 years old

Rylie is 3 and I gotta say, I love 3! I have loved every age so far, but new opportunities are opening up with Rylie being 3 and it’s a lot of fun! Similar to the monthly updates I post for the kid’s first year and milestone ages, here is a breakdown of some big…

rylie’s 3rd birthday party || spider-man themed

Rylie watched Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse in the late summer and it very quickly became her favorite. When we asked what she wanted her birthday theme to be in late August, without hesitation she replied, “SPIDER-MAN!” Knowing her answer might change, we gave it a couple more days and then asked again. We got the same…

happy 3rd birthday rylie

Every year so far I’ve done a mini-shoot with my kids to commemorate their birthdays, and Rylie turning 3 was no exception. Since she’s all about SpiderMan right now, and her upcoming party is SpiderMan themed, I took her downtown dressed in her Spider Gwen outfit for her shoot and I’m 100% convinced these photos…

the pumpkin patch 2019

Last Tuesday (10.22.19) Aaron had the day off work so we decided it was a perfect day to go to the pumpkin patch. Neither of us love huge crowds so a weekday trip was perfect! I found a patch 40 minutes from our house that we hadn’t been to before and it was adorable (and…

I already…

week 3 with paisley

Our 3rd week with Paisley was pretty uneventful compared to Week 2. I got my first “she looks like you” which made me feel good since Emmaline favors Aaron... But she’s also young and lots can change. She’s been a great sport when it comes to her older sisters’ desire to play with her. Rylie…

week 2 with paisley

Week 2 with Paisley kicked off with her newborn session, which I think turned out super cute! A few days later, Aaron left for Arizona for the week. He was going for training for his new job, leaving me solo with the kids for 6 days. We kicked things off with church, where Paisley and…

week 1 with paisley

The beginning of our first week with Paisley was spent in the hospital. Once we got home, we were greeted by a very excited big sister who begged to hold her new baby sister. Life continued as usual... with slightly less sleep of course 😛 Because of the industry Aaron was working in (food service),…
