11 months already!

It's so hard to believe that it's already time to start planning Lachlan's first birthday party. Life is so seriously fun with our little guy and time goes by so so fast. He's talking up a storm and it's the cuuuuutest thing. His faves include: truck (obsessed!), car, ball, duck... and mama and dad occasionally. He's an expert crawler and stander and has 7 big chompers. And today started walking while holding our hands!

go Pens!

8.5 months!

6.5 months!

Our little lovey dovey is almost 7 months old - where has the time gone?!

sam + kyle invites

While I was enormously pregnant I worked with B's cousin Sam to make her fun wedding invites. It was such a great project because Sam + Kyle are two of my favourite people and their wedding was in a super cool location - Coney Island in Kenora. Literally the day before I gave birth I handed them over to be mailed... phew, just in time! In August the Crandall family united for the party of the century and we had an amazing time celebrating the long-awaited union of Sam + Kyle.

wish list

Skip Hop makes such cute/practical things. Almost anything and everything from them is on my wish list.

5 months!

Our little sir is 5 months old already. He's mastered rolling over and loves playing on his tummy. He makes tons of chatty noises and it just melts my heart to hear him say mum-mum-mum even if he's just making sounds. He's also really in love with Berkeley, its so adorable.

baby favs

Our other favourite baby item is hands-down our Video Baby Monitor. It has been so handy to be able to check in on Lachlan while he's sleeping. Sometimes he makes noises but isn't awake and sometimes he's awake but not yet making much noise. And we get to see the adorable positions he sleeps in! Our favourite is bum in the air.

best baby purchase

One of the BEST purchases for Lachlan has definitely been our Bumbleride Indie. Recently a friend sent me a message about which stroller I have and I replied in a rambling response going on and on about why I LOVE this stroller. I have zero complaints, seriously. It has gotten a ton of use - on our gravel road, out and about in town and even on a boat a few weeks ago.

We also have the carrycot and used it as Lachlan's bassinet in the early months but probably didn't use it to its full potential with the stroller. We used his car seat (our friend's Peg Perego Primo Viaggo - lovingly borrowed) with the attachment in the stroller more since we were usually coming to/from the car.

[Just playing in the stroller after a walk. I realize the danger potential in this photo - he was fully supervised!]

little lachlan

My baby boy has been keeping me busy, but mommyhood is just wonderful. Our little mister is 2.5 month already and its crazy how time flies (and yet some days just crawl). Lachlan is full of adorable smiles and noises, already quite the little flirty guy.
