This week Crosby and I hit a huge milestone… we had our first outing alone! We just went to the drive through ATM and Target but now we are feeling confident to head out on more errands just the two of us. One thing that made our trip out of the house a little easier was the carseat. We were so excited to test out the Cybex Cloud Q! We got it in Moon Dust, this pretty neutral gray color, but there are so many other fun color options! This carseat is so sleek and easy to load in and out of the car. One thing I’m excited about now that I have a baby is building my biceps by lifting all the baby gear. Seriously, I can feel them growing each time I lift her or any of her baby things. continue reading

As of yesterday, Crosby is two months old! It was so special to celebrate my first Mother’s Day with this little one. We love her so much and are having so much fun with her. Every day is a little different and her personality is definitely starting to come through. We got really lucky a couple days last week with two nights in a row with over five hours of sleep… and then back to every three and a half hours the next night. We’re loosely following Baby Wise so maybe that has something to do with it. I wanted to share some of my favorite photos of her from the last month and our current favorite baby things (listed under the photos). continue reading

The first thing Crosby ever wore was a Pampers Swaddler – they’re the #1 diaper choice by hospitals! Flash forward eight weeks (and a lot of diapers) and now I can really see why hospitals trust Pampers for newborn babies.

Probably the baby product I was most excited about was the stroller. When it came time to decide what set of wheels we wanted Jeff and I headed to a local baby store to “test drive” a few options. Our hands down favorite was the UPPAbaby VISTA – and I was so excited to partner with them!

After we shot Crosby’s newborn photos, next on our list was sending out our baby announcement. Minted has the best stationery options.  I’ve used them for everything from holiday cards to invitations, and even our wedding place cards, so it was a no-brainer to rely on them again for this. I especially love how easy they make things.

As you may have read in my ‘A New Mom’s Favorite Gadgets’ post, “Roomby” the Roomba has recently become the fifth member of our family.  

In the later months of my pregnancy, a few complications had me both tired and being careful about how much I did around the house. This was perfect timing to team up with iRobot around their Roomba 980 vacuum!
