It’s already been one week since our little Sophie Michelle came into our lives. One week of exhaustion. One week of craziness. One week of adjustments. One week of pure bliss.
Sam isn’t too sure about her yet. We are working on being gentle, but mostly he just goes straight for the eyeballs. ;) Most days so far he just kind of ignores her, but occasionally he’ll come over and give her a soft little kiss on the head and my entire world melts. This is what it’s all about, people. This right here.
Our first family walk! Sophie slept through the whole thing.
Time, you can stand still. Please.

She is so adorable! Loving her little outfits <3
PS – watching the Bachelor… Olivia is CRAZY haha
Thanks girl! And I know that girl is CUH-RAZY.

So cute! I can definitely see Sam goin for the eyes in one picture ;)
Oh, and you look fabulous, mama! By the way, I love that floral top you’re wearing in the first and third pics – where did you get it, if you don’t mind me asking? :)

Yeah… “Gentle” is something that we say about a million times a day here, haha! ;) The floral top is a kimono from Pink Blush- I have a few similar ones linked in this post: https://www.katiedidwhat.com/dressing-the-bump/

Oh my Lord she’s so pretty. My heart is melting. And yes…straight for the eyeballs. Hilarious.
Aww thank you :)

So cute! Sam kissing Sophie’s head = priceless!
Right?! I love how serious he gets when he gives kisses. <3

Love all of this. She is precious!!
I’d love a post or section on your favorite postpartum clothes (and essentials too I guess) but mostly clothes/items most people don’t think about! I’m getting ready to have our first baby and I’m at a loss with what kind of pants to wear, tops, etc. that are compatible with all the messy parts of postpartum life, nursing, and also fashionable so I don’t feel like i’m in PJ’s every day when people come over.
Thanks girl! And I LOVE your suggestion- will definitely write a post all about postpartum fashion! Thanks for the idea! :)

SO PRECIOUS! Katie, you are definitely one of my favorite blogs and I love your little family! Sending good wishes from the East Coast!
Oh my gosh, Ariana, thank you so much!! You just made my day!! :) I hope you’re staying warm and dry on the east coast right now!

Congrats on the baby, glad everything turned out well with her health.
I was wondering if you’ve been teaching Sam French? And Sophie now too (can’t start too early…)
I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of raising kids bilingual if you can, & I always thought it sounded pretty awesome.
Thanks so much for the congratulations!! I do speak some French to Sam, but haven’t really tried to teach it much to him yet. Mostly because, we’re really trying to teach him English first! He’s not talking much yet, so that’s our number one priority- but I do have plans to teach him French as well! :) And whatever he may pick up just from me speaking to him, well that’ll be pretty awesome! :)

She is SO cute!! Congratulations!
Aw thanks so much Logan!

beautiful pictures!! congratulations again :) I am so excited (and a tad nervous) to see how my daughter will interact with her baby bro (they will be almost exactly 2 years apart). In the same minute she is hugging her baby dolls and throwing them on the ground hard LOL. It will be interesting!!!
Also – I L O V E how much Sophie resembles her brother! It is so perfect!
Awww thanks so much girl!!! Yeah, it’s definitely amazing to see them interact, but you have to always be aware and never leave them alone! Ha! Toddlers be crazy! ;)

she is just so sweet! don’t worry, adjusting to having two is strange at first but it quickly becomes the “norm”.
i can’t even remember what life was like before i added my second little bundle!
you are a brave mumma babywearing out in the first week! i’m impressed!
soak up this newborn time and enjoy them together, it passes in the blink of an eye :'(
sending love! robyn
Aw thanks Robyn!! :) It is already becoming our “norm” but we’re definitely still learning every day! I’m soaking all of this up and always reminding myself to enjoy the NOW, whatever that may be! :)
