Our first overnight away from home since March 2020. Ivy’s first time swimming in a pool. She loved it. Felt so comfortable she even fell asleep on me in the pool. Luckily for us it was a heat wave and we had AC and a pool. And we started a new trend of drinking smoothies to…

On Ivy’s actual birthday, we started the day at her 12 month appt to get the appropriate vaccines. She’s 31.5 inches tall (although they measure her laying down even though she can stand up by herself). Her head circumference is 46.5 cm and her weight is 26lbs 15oz. So she’s…

Another day out and about to enjoy the beautiful weather and celebrate the week. We went on a hike north of the city that ended at the ocean with Joscelin’s best friend! We picnicked on wet sand and enjoyed being with cell phone reception for a couple of hours. ;)

We took the week off to celebrate Ivy turning one!!
We took the week off to celebrate Ivy turning one!! Yesterday we went to Filoli Gardens, a 600+ acre estate with a historic mansion (that was closed to tours because of the pandemic). It reminded me of all the mansions and estates on Long Island. There aren’t that many in the…

Happy 11th Months, Ivy!
Happy 11th Months, Ivy! “Are you walking, Ivy?” “Yes, Mommy. I’m so strong and my balance is impeccable, right? But I’m faster when I crawl. This is pretty fun though. I might just do this walking thing a bunch more.”

We took a few days to change up our routine, I guess you call these vacations?! 🤣 We house sat for cousin Patrick in Alameda. First time away for Ivy (at 10 months) whereas Joscelin’s first time not sleeping at home was when we went to a family reunion in St Augustine Florida…

17lb turkey and we made almost all the sides. (Ivy is 24 lbs for reference!) Thankful we are all safe and healthy and our biggest complaint was we ate too much. Grateful to have a couple days to relax and eat some more dirty potatoes. Ended the night with a little Taboo and then…

Ivy’s first trip to the beach!! Everyone was keeping their distance and it was a surprisingly warm day so we decided to check out the beach — which we hardly ever do. Joscelin (wearing a bathing suit 2 sizes too small that we bought in Feb and haven’t used since) played in the…

We went to the SF Zoo. We got there first thing in the morning. Wasn’t crowded at all. First time for Ivy and maybe Ivy’s 3rd time in the stroller ever. :) Joscelin has been once before but maybe it was 3 years ago and she doesn’t remember. Joscelin LOVED the penguins. We saw…

Been meaning to do a proper 8 month photoshoot but Ivy literally can’t keep still. Her favorite room in the house is the bathroom. The trash is exciting. She started eating toilet paper yesterday, luckily Joscelin stopped her! She is so curious about the tub — she bangs her…

Ivy is 7 months! I’m surprised she sat still enough for me to photograph her at all! She’s cross crawling and scaling walls, doors and refrigerators. She stands in her crib. And stands at the gate. She puts everything in her mouth from plastic eggs to wooden spoons to books and…

Ivy’s 6 month appointment was a hit! She finished all her vaccines, jumped another line on the growth charts and Dr Lee is overall very happy with Ivys process. She’s surprised that Ivy is crawling already but for second kids that’s not unheard of. Height: 27.5in (95th…

Gil turned 40! And we had grand plans to have friends fly in from all over the country and meet up at a house we rented in Sonoma with a pool and just hang out. Obviously we cancelled that a while back and then Ian and Jess got Gil a family pass to the Philadelphia Folk Festival…

Ivy is 6 months! She slithers around like crazy. Chews on Jenga blocks until they are soaked through. Can sit up on her own. Will be escaping the cosleeper any day now. Babbling tons and wanting whatever Joscelin is holding because she wants to be just like Joscelin. :)

Aug 17th = first day of 1st grade!! And what a success it was. We turned our daily quarantine walk into our walk to school. Uncle Ian and Aunt Jess supplied Joscelin with a new book bag covered in unicorns. Daddy even packed her a lunch in her lunchbox with a note and…
