{dear grayson} you are 7 months old

July 16, 2014

Dear baby boy, You are officially mobile. You’ve got your army crawl down, sometimes you even pop up to your knees. To my surprise, this milestone has increased your frustration. You are so close to being able to roam free, you can taste it. You can sit-up like a pro, but getting from crawling to […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” July 4, 2014: For the fourth we road-tripped it up to Mendocino County. After zooming down the highway long enough for one solid nap and one time through the Jay Z Rockabye Baby album we pulled off to give the little guy a […]

{oyster party} invite

July 11, 2014

I love large simple graphics. Especially those involving type. This is going to be a no-fuss, small, backyard dinner party. I thought the invite should match. I’m a sucker for paper-bag-brown, it is such a solid canvas for whatever you put on it. For my invitation I included a couple suggestions, for example, dress warm […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 28, 2014: This boy can’t get enough of the water. He still fits in the sink for his bath, but I’m not sure how long that will last. This was taken after his first adventure to a sandy beach. He was happy as […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 27, 2014: With each week he grows and with each week I become more and more grateful for this project. Some say he is looking more like his daddy. My uncle asked if that bothered me. I said, “Not at all, I […]

“A portrait of my baby boy, once a week, every week, in 2014.” June 17, 2014: When I went to the pediatrician for Grayson’s six month appointment the doctor told me it was time to lower the mattress in Grayson’s crib. My reaction to this news caught me off guard. I didn’t want to lower the mattress. I […]

{baby sprinkle} the recap

June 20, 2014

Among all of the baby shower ideas out there, I must say that the “sprinkle” theme was so much fun. There were sprinkles in the balloons, sprinkles on the tables, and sprinkles on the bagels. For the tables we had linen overlays, gold dip dyed jars, table sprinkles, and all white arrangements. For each white […]

Dear baby Grayson, You are growing up so fast, right in front of my eyes. For the first time I have had flashes of what you will look like as you get older. I am so excited for our conversations, adventures, and the stories we will tell each other. But each moment of joyful anticipation […]
