Look at those crossed ankles. All three of them! Makes me wonder if this is genes or subconscious mimicry. 🤔 The bar for what qualifies as exciting has certainly been lowered over the last few months. Here they are watching a thunderstorm. The other day Nav and I watched the biggest bug we’ve ever seen on our porch for 10 solid minutes while we debated whether it was a bee, wasp, or hornet 🐝🙅🏼‍♀️. And don’t even get me started on the enthusiasm we now have for the arrival of the mail. Even junk mail! At this point a package delivery is enough to warrant the entire household rushing to the front door in sheer excitement. 😆

Jumpsuit and jelly sandals. 😍 I’m making a conscious effort to call her Colette instead of just Coco because we realized that Ben thought his name was just Ben until fairly recently. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Using their actual names feels weirdly formal to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️ We were talking to some friends about naming kids and the truth is, sometimes you have the perfect name picked out and sometimes you just go with the one that sounds good to you and that you can agree on. Girl names were super hard for us. We love her name because now it’s hers but I know Nav probably would have had another frontrunner. Colette nicknamed Coco was the only one we both liked enough. It was hard to decide! Anyone else experience this?

My 1st DIY home project before and after! Swipe to check out my quick (and fairly cheap) makeover of our half bath. We wanted something a little more fun in here and I love how it turned out!

New wheels. 🏃🏼‍♀️ Really late to the party on this but I just discovered the gold mine that is Facebook Marketplace. 😂🙈 Snagged this nearly new double jogging stroller for $60! Really leaning into that suburban Mom life I guess. I love my Uppababy Vista but this is so much easier to push with them side by side instead. About to find all the good local trails! ✌🏼

7 months of Colette. When do they start sleeping through the night? Is there a 4 month sleep regression and also a 5, 6, and 7 month sleep regression? 😭😆 This babe loves to go to sleep and then wake up 2 hours later and every hour and a half after that until 3 or 4am. Did I forget about this part of parenthood or did Ben not do this? Literally cannot remember and it’s hard to say whether that is parenting amnesia or just lack of brain capacity from never sleeping more than 4 hours at a time. 😳 I can’t be mad at her though because all day she’s a delightfully pleasant baby who tolerates a lot of affection from her brother and is super go with the flow about our lack of schedule. She’s always smiley and we all adore her. But really, please give me all your sleep tips. What worked for you? Is it too late for baby sleep classes? Why won’t she stay asleep? Help. 🤪

Not complaining about the masks over here. You can (almost) not tell what a sweaty mess I am under this mask/sunglasses combo. Am I wearing makeup? Do I have a breakout on my chin? Have I aged 10 years during quarantine? No one will know! 😆 ⁣

I say this every summer and I really really mean it - I love winter and I would take snow over 90 degree heat any day. Anyone agree? ⁣

Snapped this pic at the zoo today. For those asking from stories - how do you get a 2 year old to wear a mask? I don’t know. This was his first time but “if you put this mask on, we can go see a rhino!” seemed to work. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Finally got a picture of the four of us in front of our house. It’s been so fun making this place feel like home. 💕

“Yay you made it!” will work, but only because “Don’t worry, I bleached everything” and “What’s your temperature?” were not available. 🤪
