Wyatt’s nursery is my favorite room in the apartment. We wanted (IÂ wanted) a light and airy neutral nursery and I think we more or less pulled it off. This is technically his second nursery. We lived in San Francisco for the first six months of Wyatt’s life, and this little space is a big upgrade from the walk-in closet he used to sleep in…he now has a window! (We did make a pretty good micro nursery out of his closet though- we fit his crib, changing dresser, and had room to move around!) Living in NYC, there isn’t much…
Wyatt’s First Birthday Party
Wyatt’s first birthday was something I started thinking about a few months in advance, I was super excited about it and am crazy about party planning. I love a good theme for a birthday party, and even though this was a kid’s party, I still wanted it to be tasteful. My go-to first move when party planning is Pinterest. As soon as I came across the “Party Animal” theme, I knew it was the one…plus Wyatt’s love of animals didn’t hurt. The party was a success, we ended up having 24 adults and 6 babies in our little apartment. It…
First Birthday Cake Smash
A cake smash is something that I’ve wanted to do with my baby since before I ever had one. It was a lot calmer than I envisioned, Wyatt wasn’t sure at first what he should do with the mound of sugar in front of him, and then once he figured it out, he went to town. There was no throwing or actual smashing of the cake, but there was plenty of smushing and squishing. And then, when he decided he was all done, he just crawled away.
I included way…
What I Packed in My Hospital Bag
I am a compulsive over packer…I usually show up for trips with way too much baggage or a suitcase that is overweight. Â I’d rather be over prepared, and I like to have options once I arrive. Unfortunately with a baby my packing has become even worse because now I over pack for both of us. Needless to say, this was definitely the case when we showed up to the hospital ready to give birth with two suitcases in tow like we were going away for a week. I…
How I Build a Seasonal Baby Wardrobe
vest | button down | jeans | shoes
Wyatt is turning ONE (omg) a few days after it officially becomes fall next week, which means one thing…new fall clothes! During the first year of life, babies change clothes sizes every few months, which happened to coincide very nicely with the seasonal change for Wyatt, I’ve more or less had to build him up a new wardrobe four times already. Luckily, I love shopping for clothes and online shopping makes it incredibly easy! One of my favorite brands to begin building…
Wyatt’s Bedtime Routine
pajamas | sleep suit | lovey | crib
Sleep has been a hot topic this entire first year…when Wyatt’s sleeping, how he’s going to sleep, and how long he’s sleeping for. I’ve talked about how all babies are so different before in this post, but if I’ve learned anything from being a teacher and a mom, it’s that routine is SUPER important. It’s sometimes hard to know what Wyatt knows or understands, but we all like predicability and routines help us understand the order of what happening next,…
