Six Months



Happy Half Birthday Ellie Girl, 

It is bitter sweet to sit here and write your six month blog post, which is probably why I have put it off. The days are going by faster and faster, and I would do anything to slow them down just a tiny bit. I find myself rubbing your perfect smooth wonderful face trying to memorize exactly what it feels like because I know it will change so soon. I rub your sweet little hair that is finally coming in embracing the gentle feeling of peach fuzz. I take a million pictures because I know these days are short and these moments are priceless. The last six months of our lives have been enchanting with you by our side. Being your mom is more incredible than I could ever imagine. You bring me so much joy, I feel so much pride, you are the best part of me. These six months have been the greatest and you sweet baby are to thank!


This month you have once again been a little busy bee! You learned to roll from back to tummy and now spend most of your time rolling around! You figured out how to splash splash splash in the tub and it makes bath time so much more fun! Your laugh changed from a sweet little chuckle to a high pitch squeal mixed with a chuckle. You smile all the time but it takes a special something to make you laugh. You can almost sit up unassisted but your balance still needs some work! Let's talk about reaching and grabbing; nothing is safe! We fight over mom's coffee cup, mom and dad's food, Dad's beard, and of course your little feet. If you can reach it you can grab it, which means mom's spidy senses have kicked in and I can catch almost everything you grab. You sat in your high chair and played with a teething biscuit, we are waiting until six months for you to actually eat. You held your bottle all by yourself on May 12 and went swimming on May 13th. You loved being in the pool and playing around with mom and dad and a few of your cousins too.




Our first Mother's Day fell on Sunday May 14th and it was perfect! It was a day that I was so excited to celebrate and you and daddy made it perfect! You guys made mom a craft, a beautiful frame with your hand prints and foot prints. Mom was spoiled with candles, t shirts, and a few coffee mugs. Having you in my arms and knowing I am your mom was absolutely perfect! I am blessed beyond measure to have you and your dad!



We spent the last week of your sixth month in Albuquerque with friends and family. You hung out with some of mom's favorite people who loved being able to see you before your half birthday!






We did it, we have made it an entire six months exclusively breastfeeding even after facing a few trials. We have struggled off and on with supply issues and when you were three months old we discovered you had a dairy allergy. Through it all we have found solutions and made it! I remember being questionable about breastfeeding before you were born but now I am so glad I did! The bond it has created between you and is irreplaceable, the health benefits are of course the best thing I could do for you, and knowing I have fed you makes me feel accomplished! Here's to six more months Ellie belly!



Happy half birthday Princess Eloise Jeanne, we love you so much!!

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
