    Vivienne’s 5 Month Update and Picture

    Yesterday Vivienne was 5 months old. I realized in all the craziness of starting a quarantine that we missed her 4 month picture, but I did manage to get a 5 month picture taken yesterday, and how different she looks from our last one of these! Vivi is 13 lbs 12 oz (a chunk!). We’re…

    Last night I sewed myself a face mask from scrap fabric leftover from the outfit I sewed Nora for her second birthday. It’s the first time I have sewed in over a year and it feels like a surreal sewing project, especially given the original intent for this fabric, but it seems like we should…

    On top of all the things – trying to rescue the business from the economic slowdown, all four girls at home, and supervising education – of course the dog would get fleas that resisted all my attempts at cleaning. So today we played hookie from work and school and escaped to Chris’ dad’s ranch while…

    I told Chris that for my 35th birthday I wanted to take our camera and tripod over to a field and take a family picture. I can’t believe how much time has passed since Vivienne was born and how few pictures we’ve taken. But maybe that’s just life with four kids, a business, and a…

    Semi late 4 month check up, but we’re celebrating because someone is on the growth charts!!! I have never worked harder to feed a little person than I have done with Vivienne and it is so releaving to see that jump on the charts.

    Nap buddies. I am so glad that Addie has Vivi. It’s amazing how it worked out with our four girls. Two bigs and two littles. I used to be worried about Addie being left out by the big girls, but now that we have our littlest girl it feels very balanced. Clearly it was meant…

    A note from Amber: This blog post was originally written by our content specialist, Emma Crowe-Fleming for the Road Warrior Creative blog. I moved it over here when we closed down that business and took the website offline because I think it’s a good window into what our team was like in March 2020, and…

    A bug has been working it’s way through our house so I missed our Austin Food Marketing meetup @capitalfactory tonight, but lucky me, we live stream on YouTube so I’m not missing out. It looks like Chris has things under control.

    3 months: 9lbs 1oz, 22.5in long. We’re celebrating every ounce but still not totally sure what the solution is besides lots and lots of pumping and supplementing. I took Vivi to an ENT today. She has a mild posterior tongue tie, but we didn’t get a magic solution to our nursing woes; he said there’s…
