"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

34/52

Sofia: Just over the past week you've started speaking in sentences that I never thought were possible from such a tiny person. You're quick to remind your sister to "top touching my zebra!" and making me incredibly proud with your exclamations of "mumma I GOTTA GO!" Potty training is well underway in our household and has been going very well. I'm not trying to get my hopes up for anything too soon, but I will say that I've never been more excited to see pairs of My Little Pony underwear strewn about and less dirty diapers in my wastebasket.  Success!

Alba: My sweet, ever so worried little girl. Your facial expressions just slay me when I take you somewhere new, when you hear an unfamiliar noise, (especially) when your papa talks in his scary funny voice or your sister cries at the top of her lungs. Oh my heart! You look to me for reassurance and your eyebrows furrow in the adorable anxiety of it all. I'm sure you'll be more like me, with your fidgeting and uneasy moments. Quiet and keen on cuddles, we are all relishing in every minute of watching your story unfold.

    Your black and whites are so perfect! I adore that one of Sofia so much. It's amazing to hear them speak in sentences already! Some of the things that Chloe says just crack me up. xx

    We are starting potty training and it's so daunting. How long have you been potty training/what method are you using? Love the photos per usual. :)

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.

what sofia eats, v.1

      grape tomatoes, avocado, grilled veggie burger and annie's cheddar bunnies             green seedless grapes with pancakes             cheddar potato pierogis, tangerine slices, garlic pearled couscous with corn           Diapers & Skinny Jeans will be slowly introducing more and more new, original content over the next coming weeks, and I'm excited to announce I'm bringing back the "What Sofia Eats" portion of the blog to you.  (Especially since it doesn't consist of rice cereal and mashed bananas anymore!)  Since I started a bit late, I only have three meals to show you this week-- but, I'm hoping to catch every meal for the next seven days.  I know I've personally struggled at times with finding inspiration for kiddo meals, so I figure if anyone else out there has run into a similar problem, hopefully these meals can give y...

mum + bub skincare review + giveaway!

Happy Wednesday to all of you!  It's my favorite day of the week. Today, I spent a lazy day at home with the girls and one thing we all enjoy doing when we get a little stir crazy is to hop in a bubble bath together and relax for a bit. I've always bathed with my girls, its an experience I know I'll cherish looking back on forever. When the wonderful people at aden + anais asked if I would review their new mum + bub skincare line, I immediately responded with a resounding "YES!" If anyone knows me, you know that I've already purchased every single swaddle they've ever made because I think they are the best things ever. I use them for everything under the sun: nursing covers, sleep blankets, sun shields, carseat covers, play blankets, and yes of course to swaddle Alba up at night. Knowing how much I already loved this company, I just knew that any avenue they pursued would have to turn out amazing - I was right. Today I'm g...
