Ollie’s first Halloween haul! Not too shabby for an 8 month old. . . #firsthalloween #8monthsold #olliebaby @kv_handforged (at Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpiSlIfBDP_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ycua59ycjt10

When your 6 month old takes a cue from the dog and uses your foot as a head rest. 😂🐶👶🏻💙 . . #olliebaby #cbdf2018 #sixmonthsold #imitationisthesincerestformofflattery #peteyshouldbeproud @kv_handforged (at Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnen0aalgQp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pkjzca4mn3e

A little while back Petey entered a contest for a free year of dog food from @vdogfood and he won! Petey is a notoriously picky eater and I have to say he is loving #vdog 🐶💙 . #peteypie #dogsofinstagram #vegan #plantpowered #plantpoweredpup (at Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbxIbHFI2I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bch4gq917m7x

For Ollie’s first beach trip we wanted to find him a “Baby’s Ear” shell. We had been combing the beach with no luck. We opened our first geocache of the day and these beauties were staring back at us! Selected one for Ollie and put the rest back for the next cachers to enjoy. 🏖👶🏻 🐚 @kirsten2usa . . #olliebaby #oakislandnc #myfirstbeachtrip #summer2018 #babiesearshells #meanttobe #geocaching (at Oak Island, North Carolina)

To my Ollie on our first Mother’s Day: Thank you for making me a Mommy. You are the best part of my day. Your smile lights up my whole world. I love waking up each morning and learning new things with you, watching you discover the world around you, and being blessed by your cuddles. These past 11 weeks have flown by and with every moment that passes it is harder and harder to remember the ones before you. The universe may have taken a little longer than I wanted to connect us, but I wouldn’t trade that journey for anything because in the end it brought me you. I love you so much! And Happy Mothers Day to all the Mommas still waiting for their little one. Our journeys are difficult and emotional, but there is a shining light at the end that makes each tear and hard day worthwhile. Your light will come. Thank you @shadygrovefertility for bringing me mine. 💕 . #olliebaby #cbdf2018 #happymothersday #happyfirstmothersday #newmom #babybliss #ivfjourney #ivf #shadygrove (at Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania)

In the last two weeks Ollie has been to the Knight’s Pub, the Roby House, and now the @fightins Pub Night hosted by @stevemoyersubaru . Does this count as baby’s first pub crawl? 🍼 . . . #olliebaby #baseball #takemeouttotheballgame #pubnight #screwball #subaru #familytime (at First Energy Stadium)

Who says pink is for girls? Ollie is rocking his hot pink, pre-loved @bumgenius diaper! Plus since it was 94 today that’s all he’s wearing 😂 . . . #olliebaby #cbdf2018 #heirloomspirit #bumgenius #fluff #flufflove #reducereuserecycle #clothdiapers #summer #summerstyle #wetotallywentfromwinterstraighttosummer (at Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania)

Saw this beauty at the Exeter @target Perfect for a spring day! #spring #springflowers #readingrocks (at Target Store Exeter-Township)

Practicing our beach walk and loving the sunshine! Note to self: baby wearing = the heat of a jacket, no need to double up. #overheating . . #olliebaby #spring #cbdf2018 #heirloomspirit #babywearing #boppycarrier #weekendwalks #freshair (at Stony Creek Mills, Pennsylvania)
