HAPPY 6 MONTH BIRTHDAY!


Can you believe that it's already been a half year?

Cue the tears.

It honestly seems like yesterday that I was waddling around, still preggo with my little whale.
I was looking at pictures of her in the hospital the other day and I about lost it.
She was so tiny!  She's getting so big, now!  I just have to face the facts:

My little girl is growing up.
She makes my heart sing.


Things that I've been doing at six months:


☛  Rolling over from my belly to my back.  (Almost nailed the reverse-roll, too!)
☛  Learning to eat new foods.  Bananas and peas = YUM!  Baked apples = Eh, I guess I'll eat this.
☛  Playtime (my favorite activities include cuddling my blankie or talking to Grandma DLR's plants)
☛  Gnawing on anything I can get my hands on.
☛  Creating some of the weirdest smelling poops to date.
☛  Still enjoying Beirut.
☛  ..... and my favorite?  Blowing bubbles.  See example below:




I love this girl more every day.

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

bump : week 22

I've said it before, but if I could pack up and move my entire family straight into the By The Barkers studio space, I would. Absolute heaven! As for our little one, he or she has been giving me strong, swift kicks - especially around bed time.  Waves and ripples dance across my belly as I lay in bed waiting, watching.  I'll admit, it's been difficult for Erick and I since we've decided to keep things a surprise as far as the gender.  We were both so used to the feeling of knowing with Sofia that it's made this pregnancy a completely unique experience.  My intuition keeps swaying back and forth wondering if this little one is a boy or girl, and judging by the way that I look, feel and eat, my best guess is that we have another little lady on the way. (Though, if you ask Sofia, she's already told us she thinks baby is a "bruh-der")  !!! Mamas out there, was your intuition right? Any tell-tale signs or...

welcoming fall: hiking together

A while back, I had posted about dreading the change of the season.  I was so caught up in my whirlwind of a summer, the beautiful weather, the bare feet, the music and late night dancing in the wilderness, camping, and vacations that I barely remembered or welcomed the un-rushed pace that comes with the beginning of fall. Living in the middle of the city has been a blessing for finding new, exciting and bustling places to eat and explore, but so many times I'm wishing for the opportunity to do something a little less... urban .  I grew up in the country, and Erick, in the city- so now we've been doing our best to give our child the best of both worlds. We took a drive about 40 minutes south of the city to a little place in the suburbs and welcomed the crisp and cool air that kissed our cheeks as we embarked on a tiny adventure in the forest.  Hiking with a toddler is such an enriching exper...
