3 Months...By Jessica

I'm a little late on posting this since he's 4 months next week!

Dear Mr. Baby Mattix,

Your 3 months,
Time has flown and you get bigger and chubbier each day. Your thighs have 3 rolls on each leg now! Oh my!
This month for you has been hard. You and your brother have been sick almost the entire month..ear infections, pink eye, colds, you name it. It was so sad to watch you be so sick:(
From being at the doctors so much we found out that your weighing in at at a whopping 15 pounds at this point!
We have discovered that you are quite the giggly little guy. Especially on your changing table. You get so happy you start kicking all over the place and smiling. If we make you laugh, which isn't hard, you get the hiccups almost immediately..that's how hard you are laughing at us. We must be pretty funny!
The best part of this month was the day that you were laying on the floor and your brother was talking to you, when all of a sudden you burst out in laughter and got the hiccups because something Jaxson was doing was funny to you. There is nothing more precious than watching you giggle at your brother! Oh how you love him. It's just adorable!
Anytime were getting ready to go somewhere Jax asks: "Is baby brother coming?" Anytime were out and a friend is holding you and your not in Jaxson's sight Jax comes over and asks "Where's my baby?" and sometimes when someone comes to take you away for a minute Jax decides that he wants it brother back! It's so cute how much you guys love each other already.
I know that someday you guys will be wrestling over toys and fighting, but it is the sweetest thing to watch you guys at this stage in your lives together...
We all love you baby Mattix.
I still ask myself where did time go? How did you get this big? I know I'm going to blink and your going to be turning 3, and then your brother will be 6 and off to kindergarten...That is not something I am ready for...
So lets slow down, alrighty?






See Mattix at months 1 & 2

Photographs by Linda M.


We've never had family pictures done until about a month ago. I had one of my all time favorite girl friends, who just so happens to be an amazing photographer, come to visit and do our photo's.
Linda and I have known each other for a long time, we didn't grow up in the same town so we didn't meet until we were older...I think like 17 or 18 but we became instant buddies! She's the type of person you meet and want to put in your pocket and take everywhere with you. She's got that contagious personality:)
We sort of lost touch after awhile being that we lived far from each other it was hard to keep in touch...then one day I found her in Anthropologie behind the register.... I thought I was seeing things, but it was her. So we got to reconnect, but unfortunate for me she was leaving to go live in London for awhile.
I'm so glad she's back...So I just wanted to share some of the pictures she did of our family. I love them! She did such an amazing job, I can't wait to put them up on our walls!
If you want to see some of her work you can look here.

Here are just a few of my favs!








Clearly Linda knows how to capture a moment!
Thank you Linda for taking these beautiful pics, which are totally priceless to our family!

If any of you need family pictures done and want Linda's contact information please leave a comment or email me at jes.and.jessie@gmail.com

Infant Photo's


There's been a lot of picture taking going on lately..
Lucky for Annalee (in previous posts Annalee is the very pregnant looking lady:) and I, we have friends who happen to have amazing talent...and when a new baby is born who doesn't love to bust out their camera? Especially when you have a cool camera and you actually know what you are doing!
In this case the friend that has amazing talent is our friend Danielle N.
Many of you may know her...But did you know she knows how to rock that camera of hers?
I think she calls it a hobby, but you probably will agree that she needs a portfolio, website and some business cards because she did such an amazing job with Mattix's and Luxe's infant photos!
Here are a few of our favorites:







I'm sure that any Mama will agree that pictures like these are priceless!

Thank you Danielle for the beautiful memories that you captured for us!

P.s. have you entered our first giveaway? you have until Sunday to do so!

What She Wore Wednesdays!

Welcome to our second week of What She Wore Wednesdays!
This Wednesday we have our lovely friend Gina from fingers. chopsticks and bobbins showing us how to mix it up with colors!
I don't know about you guys but I love neutrals, i love black shirts, black leggings, black just seems to make everything look better...Especially after having a baby! I do have more color in my closet than i used too, that is for sure. I'm loving the stripes right now...
But Gina, this girl is colorful!
She makes you feel like you can put on anything, any pattern any color and it will work. At least it does on her...I am not yet this brave.
She's challenged me to wear something crazy this month! Something that would be outside the box for me.....

Here is her ever so colorful outfit:

Cardi:: Swell, Shirt:: Urban Outfitters


Skirt:: Anthropologie, Tights:: Target, Boots:: Endless.com

A big thank you to Miss Gina for inspiring all of us to put on something a little bit more colorful!

(If any of you want to be a guest for WSWW please email us your outfits and where the pieces are from @ jes.and.jessie@gmail.com)
