#ditl #stayathomemom #firstbirthday

IT'S NOAH'S FIRST BIRTHDAY! I can't believe it's my baby's first birthday. I'm so glad we filmed little parts of our day because I know I'll love watching back this day one day in the future. I'm so thankful for our son and so so grateful I get to be his mom. Going from 0 to 1 kids was a huge transition for my husband and I so we are pretty proud of ourselves for making it through the first year with our first baby. But it is also SO bittersweet because we already miss out little tiny beeb. Anyway, hope you enjoy celebrating our sweet boy with us!

Much love,
Meredith

N O A H I S O N E Y E A R O L D 🎉

Every night after I put Noah to bed, I look forward to spending the next day with him. I appreciate the break of course, but I’m so happy and fulfilled as a mom to my sweet boy. He is such a joy to be around and is constantly “cheesin” and waving at everyone he sees. He’s a sweet sensitive soul with a goofy, silly side. I’m so grateful to be his mom. Noah, you are my world and my heart would burst if I loved you any more.

And to Luke, we did it. Let’s celebrate!! 🎉 We survived a whole year with our first baby. We’ve had so many ups and downs when it comes to parenthood. In two words: IT’S HARD! But it would be infinitely harder without you. Thank you for being the best dad to Noah and an incredible partner to me. I’m so grateful for you and I love you so, so much.

Happy first birthday Noah, we love you! 💙

Last time I was at a pumpkin patch Noah’s 99th percentile head was in my ribs (#breech) and about to make his world appearance. Let’s just say this year’s pumpkin patch experience was much more enjoyable 😂🎃🌽

My favorite thing to do with my little family is get outside. Whether it be a short walk around the neighborhood, an afternoon turning over rocks looking for crabs at the beach, or a long hike in the mountains, I just love being outside. And little Noah is always so happy and content when outside, so it makes getting out so easy 😊 It’s so good to get fresh air and enjoy creation. I seriously always feel so much better after spending time outside, even if it’s just 5-10 minutes. What’s your favorite thing to do outside? 😊

I can’t believe Noah is 11 months old. I love my boy more than I could ever express. I’m so grateful God gave me him even when I didn’t think I was ready. He is my whole 🌎 and I can’t imagine life without him. Only one more month of the “baby” months and I am soaking it up! 💙

My little workspace this afternoon while baby naps 👶🏼 😴 If you’re thinking this doesn’t look like the kitchen I’m usually filming in, that’s because we bought a house! We just moved in on the first of the month. It’s a long story why we bought a house in this crazy housing market but maybe one day I’ll share it 😊 But what I will share now is God is so kind to us. Even though we don’t deserve a single blessing He has blessed us immensely with this new house, which fun fact: is right next door to my best friend! Can you believe it 🤯 Praise God! This house has everything and more that Luke and I could have wanted and we are so grateful. It’s been a lot of work getting to this point but God has guided us every step of the way and even when it felt scary and out of our control, we could trust Him. I know I don’t deserve any of it, but I’m so grateful God works for our good because we love Him and He loves us far better than we could ever understand.
.
Have a happy Monday everyone!

We had the BEST day yesterday on our family hike 😊 I honestly had no idea how Noah would do; we had to drive 3 hours roundtrip and the hike took about 3.5 hours total so I was fully expecting for Noah to full blown lose it at some point. But he was SO happy the entire time and even took a little catnap in the backpack on the way down the mountain. It was the least fussy day he has ever had and I’m so thankful we just decided to go for it because it ended up being the best family day ever 😁

1 0 M O N T H S 💙

Wow I love this boy so much. Both Luke and I agree that this has been our favorite stage with Noah. He is happy 95% of the time and is such a little bruiser, constantly getting into things and tumbling over only to roll and keep going 😂🥰 He finalllllly started crawling this month, completely skipping the army crawl and straight to crawling on all fours allllll over the place. He loves to stand and slap his hands on windows or the coffee table. He is happiest when outside and loves going in his little pool. He loves food and is a good little eater, often eating the same thing for dinner as me and Luke. He loves to clap and give kisses. He melts my heart and brings me so much joy everyday. I’m so thankful for my little man 🥰💙

August has been a lot, there’s no better way to

August has been a lot, there’s no better way to say it 😅 There’s so much going on in the world that has been occupying my mind and weighing heavy on my heart, and some big changes in our personal life that are exciting but require a lot of time and physical work. On top of that we’ve had family from both sides visiting and I was sick for over a week. I find myself feeling overwhelmed and tired often, yet at night my mind won’t turn off and let me rest.
.
In these times when life feels like more than I can handle alone, I’m so grateful I have God to lean on. I’ve been trying to unplug a little more, pray a lot more, give what I can’t control to God, and pray for guidance on how He can use me in the situations that are heartbreaking and so much bigger than myself. And most importantly, no matter how chaotic things feel, I can find rest in knowing that God is in control and I do not need to fear. I hope that is encouraging if any of you needed to be reminded of that as well 💗 Have a great weekend everyone!
