Today our precious angel is one year old, and my what a year it has been! A year ago yesterday, my husband and I were all checked in at the hospital and feeling a mix of anxious, excited, and grateful. Looking back now on those first few days of Kate’s life, it seems like an entirely different era and hardly like it was only a short year ago. This milestone felt SO far away this time last year! But here we are. We made it.

A big reason why I started this blog was to chronicle my memories with Kate, but I’ve been slacking lately. I haven’t done an “X Months with Kate” update since she turned 3 months old! Aside from being busy (which isn’t a good excuse because we’re all busy), sometimes I overthink the blog content.

So more posts about Kate it is!

I hadn’t yet because I wanted to live with things for a period of time before recommending items to y’all. Since I’m new to “mom life”, I wanted more experience under my belt. And to be honest, I felt a little self conscious sharing this kind of thing as if I’m some kind of expert. 😅 But, ya know what, damnit? I kind of am an expert now! 💁🏻♀️So, here’s my favorite baby product recommendations for 6 months and under!
