Priceless captures from our fish / ocean / pearl themed baby sprinkle a few weeks ago 🥹 Between the poem my niece wrote for us, the blessing bowl, the book signing for Baby P and a room filled of loving friends, it was the perfect ceremony for the new life that’s entering our family so soon. Some say you shouldn’t do showers past baby 1 and to that I say I plan to shower each of my kids in some way shape or form. Not for the gifts, which will always be optional, but to honor the baby and the expanding family (see the snip from my speech). Maybe it’s just because it took us so long to get pregnant with Kilmer and I can’t believe how lucky I am to be having a baby two years in a row, but I couldn’t imagine not having this day. Thank you to my sister in law, nieces and mom for planning something so perfect. @stagingwithpurpose @grandmashe If anyone is interested, I’m happy to share more about the blessing bowl, book table or anything else via stories in the coming days!

Okay here’s the pup update that I’ve been hoping to share for 17 months. Kilmer and Sun have finally had a breakthrough! When we had Kilmer Dove we had two baby-hating chihuahuas living in our house and once Kils started crawling (very early I might add) I was a stress mess trying to keep the dogs and baby separate. Nico worked with them a ton but it never got easy and I started to consider adoption because it was getting harder and harder to keep our baby safe. Our older dog, Papa, passed away a few months ago, leaving us with just our little teacup, Sun. And I don’t know if her being the only dog made her less jealous, or if all the work Nico has done finally started to pay off or if she just started loving Kilmer bc KD sneaks her snacks on the reg, but look at them!!! It’s not perfect and Sun will sometimes get a little snippy but more just to claim space, not to attack. Kilmer has been practicing being gentle with all living things especially her pets and I’m starting to feel hopeful they’ll be little besties. So for everyone who has asked, here’s the positive update I’ve been hoping to share! Enjoy!

Welcome to the Mommy Salon! Where tresses get tamed, memories get made and patience gets tested 😋 I get a lot of questions about Kilmer’s hair so this is what a mommy salon morning looks like…EXCEPT we do NOT always do hairstyles this elaborate! It’s typically whatever we have time for. I will say that I’m sure she tolerates me doing her hair more because I started doing it so young. She’s very used to the process now and runs to her high chair when we shout “mommy salon time!” That being said, I don’t have a “sit still” kind of kid. Kilmer has always hated anything restricting including being held for long periods, strollers, bassinets, car seats etc etc. She even hated when I would wear a belly band while pregnant! Distraction, play and fun go a long way in making this an experience we both enjoy. More than anything I really love the ancient tradition we nod to each morning – the idea of women combing / braiding each other’s hair while telling stories. Maybe as she gets older we’ll graduate from screen time and just chat about life, family and dreams 🩵
