For keeps.



I was only six months pregnant at the time, but I couldn't resist buying Felix a Who's Your Daddy doll from Duke & June. I actually got it for for husband for Father's Day. 

Seeing her with her doll now makes me smile. It's one I hope she'll always have. 

(Duke & June now has a blog! Mandi posted about a custom couple order. I'm thinking Felix needs a Who's Your Mama dolly

What you should watch + Why I love Twitter.

Last night (with a sleeping baby on my lap) I managed to watch a whole movie with limited interruptions. I just loved Hit & Run! It was hilarious, sweet, and had such a great cast.

I am such a fan of Dax Shepard. Not only is he my favorite Braverman, but I fell in love with him in this movie. And I love him and Kristen Bell together. side note: how cute will their baby be?

My favorite part in Hit & Run was right at the beginning when he tells her to take three deep breaths. I love how they shot that. The close-up of her eyes... swoon.

I enjoyed the movie so much, of course I had to tweet about it. Lovies, you know I adore a good celeb tweet. But this, this was crazy awesome! (even that is a weak description) A reply from DAX SHEPARD this morning:


I immediately called Marianne & Christina to scream about it and I was shaking ha I don't want to gloat (or sound crazy) but it's a pretty sweet tweet right? 


Seriously though, Hit & Run is a fun movie worth your watch. 

Thank-you Dax Shepard for making my whole month xo

"A portrait of my child once a week, every week, in 2013."



Lately Felix's smiles have been big open mouth ones. I'm going to miss her gummy smile when her teeth come in.

Felix, 23 weeks.


This isn't a baby fashion post by any means, I have to share a little about her outfit details:

As if Fe needed another headband (my Momma makes all of hers) but I couldn't resist buying this one from Little Blue Olive on Etsy. Mustard yellow, a vintage fawn, and glitter? Had my name--and therefore Felix's--all over it! she makes them in adult sizes too and new facebook fans get 15% off.

My blog header onesie is from the ever thoughtful Faiza, Felix bracelet made by my friend Miranda's 9-year-old daughter, and gold shoes from my girl Claire.

The perfect way to celebrate five months.

Lovies, I can't believe I'm a Mama of a five month old. 

Surviving five months means celebrating with french toast, hash browns, and copious amounts of coffee. Coffee that started at 7 a.m. after I nursed Felix in bed. I told my husband I wanted to make coffee so to watch her (at this time he was facing us in bed). I come back to the room to this: 
I had to snap a photo and send it to Claire saying, "This is what my husband calls 'watching' our baby."

It's so nice to go out as a family of three now that Felix is more aware of things. She really wanted a piece of the pecan pie we ordered in her honor (only five months and such attitude! also, she held a fork only for a photo op-- and it was Papa who gave it to her. You shouldn't be surprised... you saw the first photo on this post ha!) 

I love that photo of my husband and Felix's profile. From when she was just a newborn, I could always see my husband's mouth and chin when I looked at Felix. It still takes my breath away when I really think about how amazing it is to give birth to this tiny human who is half you, half your partner. It is a lucky gift for sure. 


She is so much fun at five months. She loves to laugh and smile and she's so curious. Always full of wonder (even when she's staring at the fan like in the above photo).

Felix, I wish I could keep you this age forever!

thrifted for baby.


A little girl can never have too many sailor dresses (and I couldn't resist those wooden hangers)

Sheets for picnics and fort making.

I'm always on the lookout for vintage toys. The squeaky bear was actually a thrifted gift from Auntie Marianne 

Floral jacket for when she's a toddler.

Books, always books. The Very Lonely Firefly is one of my favorites.

I wanted a girl so bad, I couldn't resist the bottle candle who sits perfectly next to the fawn candle Erin sent me and vintage blocks from Phoenix.

"A portrait of my child once a week, every week, in 2013."


I always smile when we get an envelope addressed to Felix Maxham.

"She gets more letters than me," my husband joked as he handed me Saturday's mail.

It's true how lucky she is to be so loved and how I have the best friends.

Happy Valentine's Day!



Since my Baby Valentine woke me up at 2 a.m. and then again at 6 a.m. (Felix hasn't done that in awhile so I was extra sleepy) it was nice to sleep in on our first Valentine's Day as a family of three. 

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have my husband and Felix as my forever Valentines. 


Hope you feel extra loved today lovies!

(also, Happy Birthday to my Ezgi! + how cute is this valentine post ? I'm going to have to print out Reeve's photo with Felix's name for her baby book)
