8 Months Old!


 March 15, 2018-
Wyatt Wray is now 8 months old, going on 10 years old!
He is crawling at lightning speeds, trying to start teething and is constantly gabbing away. He is always yelling, "DA-DA-DAAA-DA" or "Nanana-na-na-naa" or "Neee-nee!" I like to think that when he says, "Na-na-na" he's trying to say, "Mama" but who knows?

Wyatt enjoys playing with blocks, crawling after Ruby and trying to grab her feet/face/any general part of her.

He is starting to do a little bit better with being patient in the car seat, but definitely hits a max every time.

His night time sleeping hasn't changed much (unfortunately) and he is still waking up about 2-3 times a night. Sometimes when his mouth is hurting, I have a hard time getting him back to sleep. But most nights he's back knocked out in about 10 minutes or less!

Wyatt usually takes 2 decent naps a day. He loves going on walks with Mommy and Ruby. He is finally taking a binky as of the last month or so!!! For the longest time he wanted NOTHING to do with anything that wasn't my boob. Which of course was really frustrating when he needed soothing. I'm pretty pumped about it now!

He has been sledding, hiking and jogging with us and does well with all of them!

Wyatt is our little adventurer!

Why do wedding photos take up such a large chunk of our budget?

As a photographer, I am always looking at photographs. I love to flip through photo albums from my parents' childhood, peruse my elementary school yearbooks and ogle my wedding photos from last year. Of course, I also love to click through my past clients sessions and see how happy they are with their loved ones, or how they learned to be comfortable and confident in themselves while flying solo during one of our portrait sessions. As a photographer, I chat with clients about their budgets for their upcoming wedding photographs all the time. I was married about 11.89 months ago and I can speak with experience from both sides of the bride/photographer table- the most important thing that you will spend your hard earned dollars on will be your wedding photographs. It seems hard to shell out more than 1,000 dollars for something you can hire your best friend from elementary school with the nice camera and kit lens to do for an 8th of the price, right? True, they will give you a ...

HOW TO ROCK AT BEING BOTH A FUR MAMA & A BABY MAMA

I've always loved animals. As a kid I would beg my mom to let us have a dog; I would come up with chores to do as bargianing chips hoping that the trade would be enough to get a puppy for my birthday or for Christmas. I would collect animal fact cards & magazines & I loved to pour over encyclopedias of Dog Breeds. Later in life, as a newly wed, the incessant desire to have a dog of my own resurfaced. Josh and I would sit in bed and google puppy pictures of different breeds that I had been interested in over the years. October 24, 2015 was the day that everything fell into place when I found a flyer for Australian Shepherd puppies that were for sale in Elk Grove, CA. We came home that night with our sweet, fluffy puppy and named her Ruby Lou &  our lives have never been the same. So much joy, love and comfort fills our days that we spend running, hiking, swimming and snuggling with our sweet fur baby. These last (almost) 3 years have been awesome with her by our s...

Six Months as a Mother

My baby boy is 6 months old. I have absolutely no idea how this can be true but alas, it is. I just sit and stare at him sometimes in awe at how quickly he learns to do something new and how bright he makes every room that he smiles in. Time is flying by so fast that it's hard for me to feel like I'm caught up on my mental "to do list."  But I have watched my sweet boy grow and develop. I've learned so much about myself and the natural drive I have to be a good (enough) mother. I always knew that I wanted to have children. I knew I wanted to raise strong, intelligent and faithful kids, but I really didn't know how much my heart would love it.  I live every day for my babe. I love to see him smile, giggle, sleep, cry and learn new things every day. When I sit in his nursery with my sweet baby at my breast I am filled with so much love. I am filled with a stillness that I want to hold on to forever. Looking down at those fluttering eye las...
