wishing today's weather was like yesterday's so that mommy and baby could go on another walk. she loves being outside and just staring at the world around her in wonder... and it almost guarantees she will fall asleep for a nap at some point, too 👍😂 . bow and pacifier clip by @heaessentials ⭐️ . . . . #babyspam #baby #babygirl #momtographer #mompreneur #momboss #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #newmom #fourmonthsold #spring #newengland @fox61news #fox61 #sleepy #naptime #bows #bowsmakemehappy #bowlife #datbowlifedoe #heaessentials #hea #yourhea @heaessentials

I may not be the best at sewing (yet!) but learning takes practice and effort and the simple joy of being able to look back at pictures of Chloe one day and tell her kids how I made all of her clothes and birthday decorations by myself and all of that kind of stuff just makes my heart so happy. sure, I could buy all the tutus and bows in the world but there's something about that pride and sense of accomplishment when the little babe that you carried for over 9 months, and essentially "made", is wearing things you made just for her. ☺️💕 .

a year ago today I found out that I was pregnant with our little baby ghoul. it was a bittersweet time for me since my grandfather had just passed a week prior, almost down to the minute. my pregnancy was high risk but I found comfort in everyday reminders of him that helped me stay positive and hang tough, even through all of the horrible morning sickness. 👼🏼 . now that Chloe is here with us, I sometimes feel as though I see a little bit of him in her from time to time and that makes my love for her even greater. Chloe was a blessing to us, and both of our families, in so many ways. for myself and my family, she gave us a reason to smile even though we were still grieving and she gave us a reason to stay strong through each of our own personal trials. for myself, she has brought me even closer to my Papa in a way I never expected. 💙 . last week on the 1 year anniversary of his passing I found myself holding Chloe even closer than usual, wishing he could have held her just once. but I never wonder if he would love her... because I already know he does 💕 .. this is the very first picture of Chloe and I, the very first time I held her in the OR. she is 4 months old this week and is just as much of a blessing now as she was the day she was born. 🎀👶💕 ... #babyspam #baby #csectionbaby #birthstory #ChloeElizabeth #blessed #miraclebaby #babygirl #newmom #newdad #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #ilovehersomuch #familyofthree #ourfamily #loss #cancersucks #pregnancy #morningsickness #momblogging #mommyandme

I constantly find myself just staring at Chloe... it doesn't matter what she's doing, or if she's doing anything at all! I just can't help but be mesmerized by our beautiful little miracle baby. she is the greatest wish that I have ever been lucky enough to have come true. . and some of the best moments in my opinion are the little moments like this, when she is peacefully sleeping, not even 5 minutes into our walk, while snuggling the very same @fisherprice "bunny rag" that helped me drift off to sleep when I was as little as she is. those sweet, simple moments are the ones that nearly make my heart burst with love and pure happiness. . . . #babyspam #baby #babygirl #firstbaby #mommyandme #mommydaughter #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #thesnuggleisreal #bunny #lovey #naptime #sleepybabe #4monthsold #cute #stroller #afternoonwalk #newengland #lovecarters @carters #bunny #bunnyrag
