Baby Kevin – 7 Months

This month is mostly a total blur. Our schedule is so busy and work has been a big part of that. On average, Kevin and I go to bed between 12-1am. This month, my mom had to have emergency surgery due to her appendix bursting, so we have been at my parents house and helping as much as we could with the two little ones. My friend Lauren came in town for a long weekend and it was just what I needed to take my mind off our struggles right now. We also closed on our lot to build our custom home this month so that was very exciting.

Baby Kevin is getting way easier! He hasn’t been crying as much and is all smiles most of the time. He started eating more solid foods and is having breakfast, lunch and dinner now. The extra food seems to really be making him more happy. He can sit up by himself for a few minutes then kinda falls forward. He has two teeth and loves playing with his toys. He started taking one nap in his crib this month and we are moving toward all crib naps. He is still in 3-6 month clothes but will soon be moving to 6-9 month clothes.

Brooke is loving him more and more if thats even possible. She gets really excited to play with him and I can’t wait to see her excitement when he starts crawling around. She is going to LOVE it! Brooke is also officially potty trained (thank the Lord)! It was such a long process for us, but i’m so glad its done.

My favorite baby product of the month is our Skip Hop 3 Stage Activity Center AGIAN! It is seriously that good!!! Baby Kevin LOVES it. We even take it with us to my parents house and uses it outside on the back deck.

  • Life with you is certainly never boring! ❤️

Through every hard season and every joy, you’ve been right by my side.

I’m so thankful for the man and husband you are. You encourage me, push me, lead me and always serve our family. 

You are an amazing example of Christ’s love to us and I’m incredibly proud to call you mine.

You’re my very best friend and doing life with you is so fun. You always bring the smiles and the laughter.

I love the life we’ve built and I can’t wait to experience the rest of this life with you. I love you so much, Happy 15th Anniversary @kevinclarke15!
  • The older I get, the more I realize wellness doesn’t have to mean a complicated routine. 🤍#BarleansPartner

I’m focusing on simple habits that actually fit into my everyday life — morning walks, staying hydrated, and adding @Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil into my routine.

I love that it’s a liquid format, tastes great, and feels like an easy swap instead of adding another pill to my day. ✨

You can find Barlean’s at Walmart!🛒

  • Back-to-school shopping for a junior high girl is about so much more than checking supplies off a list. ✏️🎒✨ #pOpshelfPartner

As moms, we know it’s about helping our kids feel prepared, confident, and excited for a new school year.

Brooke and I found so many cute, affordable back-to-school finds at @popshelf — from school supplies and organization must-haves to accessories and fun extras.

I love that we could find everything in one stop, and at prices that let her pick things that fit her personality without blowing the budget. 🤍 Those little details really do make the first day feel a little more exciting.

Visit your local #pOpshelf for affordable, stylish finds that help your kids feel ready for a fresh start! 📚✨
