We’ve been searching for toddler spoons to try, as Fischer has been showing interest in using utensils recently. These Olababy spoons seemed great since they are made of silicone and have a wide handle for Fischer to grab onto. He mainly eats with his hands still, but I’m excited to try out these spoons more and more! Plus this bowl is super cool, because you it can be used as a steamer and bowl all in one (aka less dishes to clean later!).

WeeFarers! // sunglasses for babies & toddlers //
How cute are these Ray Ban look alike for babies and toddlers? WeeFarers makes these sunglasses, and you can get them in a range of sizes, colors, and polarized or unpolarized. I think toddlers wearing accessories is one of the cutest things! Fischer still isn’t totally sold on hats and sunglasses, but I know the more we try to have him wear them, the sooner he will get used to it. Especially with summer quickly approaching, I want to keep his eyes and face shielded from the sun! Find them on Amazon too!

Fischer's 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY!
If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that this his party didn’t go quite as planned due to COVID-19. About half of our guests didn’t wind up coming which was hard for me. But we made the most of it and enjoyed our last day with (most) of our favorite people for quite a while! It was so fun to see my decor visions come to life and to see Fischer playing with his friends. I LOVE birthdays so this was a special day for me for so many reasons! Thanks to everyone who celebrated with him or wished him a happy birthday from afar. Here’s a glimpse it’s his party at Creative Space Studios. Photos by Adriana Klas.

What To Consider When Buying A House
It easy to get caught up when house hunting and buying a house. It also can be daunting when you put offers in and they don’t get accepted, or no house feels like the one. I promise your house is out there, and know that the right one will come along when it’s meant to be :)

Coordinating Outfits For Large Family Photos
When we were in Kauai with Adam’s family in November we decided to do family photos of the whole crew. Obviously it can be challenging trying to figure out what 7 people are going to wear (plus Jenae’s boyfriend, Ryan’s best friend, and their family friends).

Travel tips with a baby, Do's & Don'ts, and more!
We took our second big trip of the year to Kauai in November with Fischer, which was his second flight! This flight was almost 6 hours (compared to 1.5 hour flights over summer), so it was a little harder. It was more challenging because he’s older which means he sleeps less and is more aware of his surroundings. On our way to Kauai, a worker from the airlines asked us if we wanted to change seats so we could have a whole row to ourselves. (THANK YOU TO THAT LADY!) It was great, because it gave us room to spread out and let Fischer nap and we also brought his Dockatot solely for the flight and we put it between us for him to sit in. On the way back home, I went up the desk and asked if there was a full row available and there was! So that’s my biggest TIP for flying, asking for a whole row! Fischer took 1 long nap both there and back and the rest of the time we tried to entertain him with his favorite toys.

9 Month Item Update For Fischer
It’s been so fun to see Fischer really change and grow into a big boy these last few months. He learned to crawl while we were in Kauai in November and two teeth came in! He’s crawling everywhere now (baby gates are in our future), pulling himself up to stand, and just overall more interactive. He’s also eating a lot more food then he was just a month ago and super interested in it. Here are some things that we’ve found useful or fun at this stage:
