Somewhere between Waylen's birth and now I've become known as the "Donut Girl." Instead of shying away from such a sugary nickname I've decided to embrace it. Glazed, sprinkled, filled, holed, donuts for breakfast, dessert, I'm pretty much an expert on donuts so I've decided to put together a list of my favorite fun non-edible… Continue reading Donuts Donuts Donuts

Waylen’s Wardrobe
So pretty much Waylen is now the most fashionable person in my household. Do I still enjoy buying clothing for myself? Uhhh yeah, but 1) tiny clothes are SO MUCH CUTER and 2) to be honest my ‘mom uniform’ is pretty much just a t-shirt and jeans these days. Lately everyone has been asking where… Continue reading Waylen’s Wardrobe
Baby Led Weaning: 1 Month

Sleep Training
After two months of bad sleep and then two days of horrible, awful, TERRIBLE 30 minute increments of sleep we finally caved and started sleep training and I am SO glad we did. Now a little bit about Waylen before training... he loved being swaddled but we just transitioned him into a sleep sac, he… Continue reading Sleep Training

Waylen: 6 Months

Waylen: 5 Months
Well either the g-parents royally messed with Waylen's sleep patterns or the 4 month regression is no joke! Exactly one day after Waylen turned 4 months he went from sleeping 7+ hours to waking EVERY HOUR. He didn't even do that as a newborn so it was a realllll change for us. Luckily he still… Continue reading Waylen: 5 Months
