Here we are again. Our little man is already another month older and this mama has no idea where the time is going. The last time I updated you guys on Fischer, we talked the four-month sleep regression and what we were doing to cope. If you watched my Instagram stories a couple of weeks…

breastfeeding: how i got my baby to gain weight
Let me begin by saying that I am not an expert. I am just a first time mom whose baby had issues gaining weight at the beginning. If that is where you’re at right now, take comfort in the fact that I’ve heard of SO MANY babies who have had the same ‘issue’. It’s not…
fischer scot: four month update.
It’s hard to believe Fischer is four months old already. He’s coming out of his sleep regression, becoming much more interested in toys and his surrounding. Plus, he is eating more efficiently than he ever has. All of these things together have made my mama life SO MUCH easier and I’m honestly so grateful. There…
beauty finds: what I snagged from the Sephora sale
I’ll be perfectly honest with you guys – I’m not a huge makeup person. At least, I wasn’t before becoming a mom. But there’s something about sleepless nights, hormones and weight fluctuation that just makes you feel like you need a little extra help.. am I right?! During the recent Sephora sale, I went ahead and splurged, justifying my purchases with the above reasons PLUS I haven’t bought new beauty items in LITERAL years. The great thing about buying makeup and skincare products is that, yes the good stuff is usually pretty pricey but, at least for me, they last for MONTHS if not more! I go makeup-less or at least minimal makeup at least a couple of times a week to give my skin a break – which not only saves me time but it ensures my products last longer.
fischer scot: three month update and products we’re loving.
Month three has definitely been a fun one. Fischer is becoming a little bit more independent, growing like a weed and is sleeping through the night! With each passing day his sweet little personality comes out more and more and it’s so fun to watch him grow into an actual little person. He hardly ever fails to return a smile with a smile and is starting to become much more interested in toys and his surroundings. We’re also learning what works and what doesn’t in terms of keeping him happy. A few key tidbits include: not waiting until he shows signs of sleepiness to put him down for a nap; going for at least one walk a day and keeping him cool. The last one was a recent discovery and it sort of changed my life lol! I started to realize that he was getting sweaty and cranky at times so I began just letting him hang out in a short sleeve onesie without pants and he gets much less flustered. Plus, I think he enjoys being able to feel things against his skin! Thank goodness Spring came when it did.
