T-minus one week until our vacation to Mexico! ✈️ It’s a rainy day in Brooklyn so I’m counting down the days until I’m lounging beachside with my girls. 🏝 http://liketk.it/2zWfw #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKbaby #LTKkids #LTKfamily

Happy THREE months, #NoaElla 💖 We've done a lot this month - you "watched" your first Super Bowl game and were a good luck charm for the Patriots. 🏈 We also got your passport and are getting ready for your first flight and trip abroad next week! ✈️ You've grown so much this month. Mama and Papa can't get enough of your baby rolls and those chipmunk cheeks of yours. 🥐 You love bath time with Papa and would stay in the bath for hours if you could. 🛁 Watching you and Adina grow closer has been so incredibly special for me. She "reads" to you and you are mesmerized by her. 🥰 Thank you for putting up with me and all of the annoying photos I take of you, especially if you sleeping. You look so peaceful and beautiful - I can’t resist! #mamarazzi 🙄 This month we also heard you laugh for the first time and it was amazing! Mama has even put aside her disdain for the "Baby Shark" song just to get some of those big belly laughs! 🦈 . . On a personal note, I'm so proud of myself for making it through the first three months as a mom of two and surviving the #fourthtrimester. When I think about this point as a first-time mom, I was still so anxious and lacked confidence as a mother. I was full of self-doubt as I navigated the newborn trenches and found my new identity. Now, I feel so much more comfortable and couldn't have imagined I would be as happy (albeit exhausted) as I am three months into life with two kids. Happy THREE months to me!
I’ve been struck by Cupid’s arrow 🏹 and I’m more in love with this little angel than ever before 💘
Another 20 degree day today 😫 We braved the cold yesterday and played outside, but I think today feels more like a “stay-inside-and-enjoy-a-warm-cup-of-cocoa” kind of day ☕️ We’re still in our PJs over here, eating some challah French toast, with no plans of going outside any time soon. 💕 My favorite kind of Sunday!
Nearly 3 months into this mom-of-two gig, and I’m starting to feel like I’m getting the hang of it. But each day presents new challenges and I’m learning as I go. ✨ Last night, I was on my own for dinner and bedtime. We had a great Shabbat dinner with friends in the neighborhood and I felt so proud of myself for going out with both girls by myself. 💪 But bedtime was a different story and it took FOREVER! I was feeling so defeated, but after reading dozens of stories and singing countless songs to my toddler, while wearing my baby, I finally got both girls to sleep. 🙌 I’m trying to give myself grace and remember to be patient with myself during this season of motherhood. My girls are growing and I’m growing too.
Happy Friday from this blue-eyed babe! 💗✨💕 Swipe left for some baby smile sweetness!
