I’ve been so so excited to share my experience with Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit with ya'll. They call it magic for a reason- it truly is magical in my opinion! Joanie loved her miracle swaddle so much, that when it came time to transition out of it, I was nervous. She had just hit the 4 month sleep regression and was waking more frequently during the night, and trying to break out of the swaddle very consistently. I knew it was time for a change.

How is my baby girl already half a year old?! Time needs to seriously slow down, but I love watching Joanie learn and grow every day. I feel like I love her more and more each day (how is that even possible!?) and am soaking up all the baby time while I can. The last time I did an update was Joanie’s 4 month schedule, so if you haven’t seen that one, you can click to read it! Today I’m going to be sharing all of Joanie’s 6 month milestones, updates, and her schedule. Remember that each baby is so different, and what works for us, may not work for you and your baby. We are learning as we go! :)

So excited to share this amazing baby gadget with y’all today. The Binxy Baby Shopping Cart hammock has been one of our favorite items to use with Joanie, and is definitely one of those things we didn’t knew we needed until we had one of our own! The concept is genius and super simple- its a hammock that rolls up and fits easily in a purse or diaper bag. You unroll it and easily clip it onto any shopping cart, and then you strap your baby into it! It’s so easily portable and quick to install!

I wanted to tell y’all Joanie’s birth story today. I know I would always watch Baby Story on TLC growing up (anyone else?!) and birth stories have always been super interesting to me, especially since my mom is a labor and delivery nurse. I grew up hearing stories about birth from such a young age, and would love to spend a day hanging out in the nurses’ lounge on the L&D unit at my mom’s hospital. Ya’ll enjoyed reading about my breastfeeding journey— if you haven’t read it yet, click here to check it out. I thought I’d continue the transparency and share one of the best days of my life with everyone!

Tough as a mother— this shirt speaks volumes as to how tough breastfeeding has been and how I stuck with it through the tough times. As soon as I saw it at Target, I knew I had to get it! Being a mom is so hard, but moms are so tough!

I wanted to share Joanie’s 4 month schedule today, as well as an update on what’s been going on and working for us! I love reading blog posts from other bloggers about their babies’ updates— I’ve learned lots of tricks and tips from them that I’ve used with Joanie.

Happy Saturday! I wanted to share Joanie’s personalized bear outfit today. This is one of my favorite outfits that we got her, especially because we call her Jo-bear so often! We got the 0-3 months size, and she has been able to wear it since we brought her home until now. It’s starting to get a little tight on her, so I’ll have to order another set soon!

When I first started creating my baby registry, I remember feeling so overwhelmed. There are so many baby products out on the market, I didn’t know what I would actually need and use for Joanie! Now that she is almost 4 months old, I decided to make a list of our most used baby products to this date.
