May really hasn't flown by for me this year...but still, now that we've concluded the month, I'm finding myself surprised that June is here!

Sophie’s 18 Month Update
It's been a couple months since the last Sophie update, so I'm excited to share one today! Our sweet girl is a year and a half today! Can you believe it?

Her most recent updates, if you'd like to catch up: 12 Month Update and 16 Month Update :) Here's what Solveig's been up to lately: Sophie's 18 Month Update: Nicknames: BeeBee, Missy … [Read more...]
Sophie’s 16 Month Update
It's been so long since I've shared a Sophie update here on the blog! I did monthly updates of Sophie's first year of life but I didn't plan to do them forever. :) Her last update post was her one year update. Wow! Of course, if you follow me on Instagram (especially Instagram Stories), then you've seen tons of photos and videos and other snippets of our day-to-day life :) But either way, it feels like it's time to do another more official update post! Here's what she's been up to: Sophie's … [Read more...]
November Recap + Life Update
Hard to believe it's December, even though we're already about halfway through! This update post is obviously different from past update posts - first of all, because it's so late! :) I'll get into that more soon. I love how recap posts function as a sort of journal about our everyday life, or different seasons, so even though this one is late, it's still going up. ;) And...it's going to be more of a wordy post than others! November Recap: November was a more difficult month. Some months, … [Read more...]
October Recap + What I’m Looking Forward to in November
Can you believe October's over already?? That month sure flew by! I love sharing these recap posts because they allow me to journal and savor our day-to-day life a bit more...and, these posts give me the chance to look ahead! October Recap: October was Sophie's birthday month! The first week of the month was full of party planning (and tears over how quickly she's growing up!). :) We celebrated her October 16 birthday early because mid-October, especially, is a busy harvest season around … [Read more...]

I can't believe it! Solveig Brynn turned one yesterday! Happy birthday, sweet girl! We love you so. Sophie's 1 Year Update: ** This will be the last monthly update for Sophie, now that she's a year old. From this point on, I'd like to space them out more.
