Exploring a new town with a baby on your hip, what could be better?!
Especially in this adorable romper from Rags to Raches, I love this outfit so so much! It goes with everything, and its so comfortable for her to wear! As you can see from the pictures I did two different looks, one is pretty laid back, and the other is a little more dressed up! Both of them are faves, and Tatum loved being it it! This day was one of my favorites here in Ohio! Me and Rachel decided to go explore downtown Perrysburg, and take some pictures. Come to find out every Thursday night there is a farmers market festival right one the streets of main! It was so much fun to see all the homemade goodies and listen to some good live music! I love when you find fun things without even really looking for them!
Special thank you to rags to raches for teaming up with me this week! Everyone go take a look at her shop, you will fall in love, and follow her instagram @rags_to_raches
Also special thanks to freshly picked for the baby mocs and Ehvandriver for the pink head-wrap!

5 Months with Tatum

 K, lets just talk about how fast these last 5 months have gone! Oh my gosh, insanely quick, I can’t believe I already have a 5 month old! She is the best baby, and I truly am really really blessed! This age is by far my favorite so far! Her personality is starting to really shine through! I love her so so much and she is so much fun!

Also this is her first picture of her sitting up all by herself! I was freaking out! 

Size: 0-3 but slowly transitioning into 3-6 month stuff! her feet finally fit in newborns! And diapers she is now wearing a size 2.

Sleep: Still the best sleeper, goes to bed at 9 and doesn’t wake up till 8:30-9 am. She now takes longer naps! she takes one around 12-1 thats about two hours and then another around 4-5 thats about an 1-2 hours! 

DREAM SLEEPER!

Food: Still eats 5-6 ounces every 3 hours, and I am still keeping up with milk! I am so happy about that! 

 Milestones: 

• can roll over multiple times (rolls all over the house)
• squeals, non stop!
• can pass a toy from hand to hand
• reaching for people and objects
• can grab her toes and put them in her mouth
• can put her binky in her mouth by herself
• can hold her own bottle and feed herself
• learned to sit up by herself
• can raise up on her arms when on her tummy
• laughs all the time!

 Loves: 

• tubby time
• the sound of her voice
• naps
• going bye bye
• flirting with strangers
• her binky
• her toys
• being held
• pull hair
• touch my face
• her hands in her mouth
• her swaddle blankets touching her face

 Hates: 

• being on her back
• being held like a baby
• getting put in her car seat
• getting her face wiped off
• getting boogers sucked out of her nose

Oh the places you will go!

So this summer I told myself I was going to document every place I've visited! I thought no better way then through video so everyone can see all the amazing sites! 
Im no professional videographer, these are just for fun! Enjoy:)

We had the opportunity to live in Perrysburg, OH this summer! Logan is doing summer sales out here, and I couldn't be more excited! I have never been to Ohio, so this is a whole new world to me! One of Logan's really good friends decided to join the adventure with us! I couldn't be happier because I'm so close with his wife Rachel! We arrived on Sunday super early, Logan and Seth were there to greet us at the airport! (Let me just quickly say I really have the dream baby! She was so perfect on the flight to Detroit, I was in heaven!) It was so wonderful to see Logan after 2 long weeks! I kissed his face and wouldn't let go from hugging him! We spent the next few days settling in, It rained ALL week besides Thursday! Which is fine I love the rain! On Wednesday me, Rachel, and our friend Andrea decided to explore downtown Perrysburg. I instantly fell in LOVE, all the houses are so colonial, and the yards are big and green, its gorgeous. We ate at this amazing burger place called "perrysburgers" I could eat there everyday for the rest of my life and be totally happy! After that we somehow ended up in the local graveyard..? Sounds super weird and random, but it turned out to be the greatest adventure! We saw giant mausoleums that were just insanely pretty! We even ventured down and saw this amazing forest full of flowers! My heart skipped a beat, I was in literal heaven. This place is so beautiful and green, Tatum loved being outside and exploring with us! I can't wait to see what else this summer has to offer us! 

stay tuned! xoxo

HEADWRAP: The tiny company (print no longer available) // AZTEC TANK: Target (sold only in storers) // GOLD BRACELET: poppy lane and co.// GOLD SHOES: Old navy// JEGGINGS: Old navy//

 Summer is here and I am not at all mad about it!

How cute is this outfit for Tatum?! Seriously to die for! This head wrap from the tiny company just makes the whole look! It is perfect for early summer weather, she doesn't get too hot but if it happens to cool down at night her legs and feet are covered so she won't get cold! Because we all know this Utah weather has been super bipolar, with wanting to be FREEZING and rain for weeks at a time one minute, to hot as can be and not a cloud in the sky the next!
It's nice to be prepared! If it does happen to get cold through a cute cardigan or jacket over the tank and you are good to go!

 I am super excited to collab with one of my favorite shops for you guys! For today only my followers can save 20% off of any item in The Tiny companies shop! She has so many cute accessories and clothes to choose from! How fun is that? Seriously take advantage of this because it is FAB!

just use code "lauren15" for 20% your purchase and you are set!

ALSO! If you can all take a look at the fact that Tatum is now wearing shoes! WHAT?! Yes, its true she can finally fit in newborn shoes, let me just point out that she is also 5 months old and is just now wearing newborn shoes... tiny feet problems!

4 months with Tatum

Holy cow has it already been 4 months?! I can't believe how fast she is growing up! Not gonna lie it breaks my heart a little bit! You don't realize how fast the baby stage goes by! but honestly I love seeing her grow up, and accomplish new things everyday! She is getting so strong and her personality is coming out more and more everyday! 

I love it!

This month has been so fun! She got blessed by her daddy, and it was such a wonderful thing to see, he did so good and she didn't make a sound! I was so worried she was going to scream the whole time! We had all our close guy friends and family in the circle and I got kind of emotional! I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life!

In these pictures you'll see she is a DROOLER, like its impossible for her not to be covered in drool. She is already teething I think! she has all the signs of it, and she is constantly chewing on anything she can get her hands on! I also feel her tooth when I put my finger on her gums, I know they aren't supposed to teeth until 6 months or so.. I was pretty suprised she is already getting a tooth!
has anyone else had an early teether? Or am I just insane?!

Size: She is still wearing 0-3 clothes, and size 1 diapers! I think we are going to have to start getting size 2 diapers here pretty soon, and her feet STILL don't fit in newborn shoes! socks for days! 

Hair: She still has her fuzzy hair, but I think her new hair is coming in! It looks a little dark and a little wavy! She might have her daddies hair!

Eyes: We still have no idea what her eye color is going to be, they are light but she has a brown spot in her right eye at the top. Her eyes are starting to look like they might be green! 

Food: She is a tub-a-goo! She eats 5-6 ounces every three hours! She is a very good eater, and is still taking pumped milk from a bottle. I am so happy I am still keeping up with her! she hasn't had to even try formula cause I pump so so much!

Sleep: She is an angel baby I swear! She goes to bed at 9pm every night, and sleeps through the night, the last 2 weeks or so she has been waking up around 3-5 because she can now roll over to her belly in her sleep. It freaks me out so I get no sleep cause I'm constantly checking on her! but once I flip her back over and re-swaddle her, she falls back asleep until 10am!

Milestones:

• Rolls over from belly to back
• Rolls over from back to belly
• grabs her toes
• raises up on her elbows when on her belly
• gets her knees up under her body when she is on her belly and tries to scooch 
• motor skills are getting better
• can pull her binky out of her mouth and put it back in (somtimes)
• can grab her toys when I hand them to her
• Tries to sit up by herself (not quite there yet)

Loves:

• Tubby time
• belly time (now that she can roll over)
• her toys
• her swing
• her bumbo
• her hands and feet
• libby (my moms dog)
• the TV (she loves mickey mouse club house)
• her binky
• being naked 
• mom and dad
• being held
• the car

Hates:
