TESSA RAYANNE: starry knight design

Life Lately Via My Camera Roll:

Life this past month or two has been so much fun. We have are definetly going out of summer with a bang! Fall weather has not offically began yet so we are still hitting the beach hard. We have had birthdays, weddings and some date nights and boys/girls night outs that have been quite fun the past couple of months. Since im no longer doing monthly updates on Cash (don't worry ill do them every few months still), just to fill you in on this little dude lately: hes been walking since 13.5 months about a month ago, he says "mama, dada, keys, Cash, cheese, this, that, hot, wawa (water), hieee (hi), huu see (horsie), bubbles, ball, nana, he tries to say doggie but hes not quite there yet it sounds more like dada, he sings "ee na, ee na" for "clean up clean up".. the song, current word today he was trying to say was "eyes", and im sure there are a couple others im forgetting or we still have not deciphered what they are yet lol. For the words above he can say them really well and most people know what hes trying to tell them. Its so sweet because he says hi to everyone and it is literally the cutest voice you have ever heard (@tessaarmstrong8, video posted on instagram of him saying hi). He points to everything still, he is sleeping 12 hours at night still 7pm to 7am, takes 2 naps that are each 1.5-2 hours long and is quite possible transitioning to just 1 nap soon, he loves to water the grass at our new home, his new favorite thing is drawing on everything (i.e. the walls, the floor, every piece of paper and toy he can find and even little kids at the park haha) ..don't worry he doesnt realize i close off the colored pencil so nothing really comes out. Today he thought he was coloring with my chapstick. He cracks us up every single day. He has learned where his eyes, nose, head, mouth, peepee, boobies, and belly button are.

What We Wear: Boho Baby Boutique Romper

Hi lovelies, happy Monday!! This week is going to be a long but wonderful week because we will be closing escrow Thursday and officially be home owners! We are so beyond excited, feel overwhelmed with thankfulness and just consumed by Gods love and the blessings Hes bestowed on our little family. I can't begin to explain how undeserving I feel throughout this whole process of finding this home that is perfect for our sweet family, my heart just swells up with joy and grattitude and I don't really know what to do with all of this emotion except try to receive this gift from God and not question Him.

Its been on our hearts this past year or so to serve Him in a greater way, we've been exploring and praying on what that looks like for quite some time and it seems like God has been shifting things around and moving in us to show us where He wants us and what exactly that looks like. Hes given us bits and pieces here and there but it seems the whole picture is coming together more and more and we are seeing what He's leading us into. I'm so excited and so glad my husband and I have been faithful in just trusting God during this season of the "unknown", we're still in that season but i feel like the fog is lifting slowly and we are gaining more clarity, which is nice for me because i'm a planner and i like to know where Hes taking us, even if God finds it humorous to continously teach me that im not in control and i need to just trust. Im thankful for this season, if anything I have learned Gods plan is always best for me and He continues to show that I can relax and know that Hes got us.

Now on to some cuteness, this adorable little romper is by Boho Baby Boutique. I am crazy about her stuff because she creates orginal custom handmade pieces from recycled clothing! So you can take a sentimental shirt of grandpas or your husbands or your very own cardigan and create a sweet treasured timeless piece for your little one. You can pick different patterns and colors and buttons and zippers or even cute little patches to place on the romper. We went with this jean striped look with lots of blues because thats my favorite color on my sweet boy. I paired it with our Starry Knight Design red moccs because those red buttons and moccs just make me so happy together. The straps are adjustable so baby can grow with the romper, you can also unfold the legs or roll them up for a shorter look.
