You may have figured out from my month long absence that our baby boy arrived! Meet Ander Grey. He was born on January 5th, one day after his due date. He came out after just three contractions, weighing 9 lbs 2 oz and measuring 20″ long. He is such a mellow baby, and thankfully such a champ at nursing and sleeping. Needless to say we are smitten!

We’ve had quite the chaotic month since Ander’s arrival. Winnie and I both had a terrible cold the first week we were home, Ryan and I both got hit with the flu, Winnie cut two molars, and then there’s just the typical adjusting to life with a newborn. It’s been rough. But we decided since we survived this month, it should be easy going from here on out, right? 😉
Both girls have been busy loving on their baby brother. Mae’s an old pro at this baby stuff now and has been a giant help, and Winnie just spends most the day stuffing whatever random binky she finds around the house in his mouth and poking his eyes. All things considered, she’s handling being demoted from baby to middle child pretty well.
I’ll be slowly getting back into the hang of things here on the blog over the next month. I’ve missed this space so I’m looking forward to spending time posting & hunting down deals again!

I just had to share we were blessed with a baby boy that we named Ander Stephen – also born on January 5, 2017! Great taste in names!! Congratulations to you 🙂
Wow, that is absolutely crazy! Congrats on your boy, and thanks for sharing! 🙂
Where did you get that beanie and swaddle? He is precious! Congrats!
Thank you! The swaddle set is from KBCute Designs on Etsy! I linked to the set at the bottom of the post. 🙂
Congrats on your little bundle ❤️ I saw you post on Pinterest and it made me stop because we have an almost 5 year old little boy and his name is Xander Gray. Guess great minds think alike 😉. I hope you are loving your time with Ander. Congrats again!
That is so similar! How funny you saw this on Pinterest too!
And thank you so much.
If you are willing to sell the blanket and hat set, I would love to buy it from you!
