Priscilla at Eleven Months

19th Jul ' 19

Priscilla turned eleven months at her new house, and she seems to really love living here. She’s still not crawling, but getting closer every single day. I keep telling her that there’s more space and mischief to get into once she’s ready 🙂

She loves | When Astro comes to sit/play by her, when dad comes home, being outdoors, swinging on swings at the park, playing with her little puzzle, and snuggling in the big bed each morning.

She detests | When I walk out of the room or leave to go on a run. But I’ve been told that once I’m gone she calms down just fine. She’s been whining quite a bit, too, which Seth and I are try to nip in the bud now. I cannot stand whining and have little patience for it. Seth and I are old school in our parenting and aren’t afraid of the word “no.”

What’s new | Priscilla has been loving story time lately. When I unpacked our books she smiled like she was seeing an old friend 🙂 We recently got a library card and plan to attend story time there soon. She’s been bouncing, scooting, and turning herself in a complete circle. She loves to bang on the fireplace doors. I love that it has doors!

I’m in full first birthday party prep mode now and cannot wait for her big day. Lots of moving parts around here, but I know it’s goin to be perfection. We are going with a dinosaur theme; I cannot wait.


I’d love to see you over on Instagram, follow along with my daily photos here:


Sharing my heart on moving from the city on the blog this morning. ⁣
⁣
“Much of my identity has been wrapped up in being a city dwelling lady and mama. I take quite a bit (maybe too much) pride in not being “basic,” as if enjoying things many others do is a sin. It’s not. I don’t believe I’ll ever be cookie cutter, but I’m finding myself settling in and loving non city life quite a bit. It doesn’t hurt, this magical house. I’ve longed for and wanted to live in an old home for my entire adult life. I love Victorians. This particular house has so many unique, interesting, lovely features that it would be impossible not to adore it [...]” ⁣

e l e v e n MONTHS | I still can scarcely believe it. Wasn’t she just born six, four, two months ago?!? The mama time warp is real and it feels too much like that scene in Interstellar when part of the crew has been gone minutes but that one man waited years 👀 Priscilla is 100 percent of whatever: loves to eat, nurses still 🙌🏽, big into clapping, learned how to wave, likes to take her bows out and then tries to put them back in, adores when da-da comes come, and is my little intense co-worker. I’m so in love. 🐳


right on the cusp of crawling and full of wonder for the living room curtains 👧🏻


I’d be lying if I said the bathtubs with window light didn’t sell me on this house 💁🏽‍♀️👏🏽 making all my bath session dreams come true!
