Yay for all the smiles, giggles, snuggles, sweetness, and lovin’ from our nine-month-old
happy joyful little valentine baby!!
Sweet Baby Levi Rhett, you are an absolute dream angel baby and we couldn’t be more blessed by your precious little spirit and easygoing self…
the very BEST addition to our family and we truly can’t imagine our lives without you now!
This Valentine’s Day was extra special having you here in our arms this year
and we couldn’t be more smitten with you –
best valentines gift ever!!
You always wake up in the morning and from naps with the biggest grin on your face,
and the way you absolutely light UP whenever you see your mama just melts my heart into a million pieces!
You adore your big brother Judson and he dotes on you all day long…
I prayed for this “brother besties” relationship throughout my entire pregnancy with you and it been such a gift
seeing it truly come to fruition…
and truly, every single day and month
it just keeps on getting sweeter and sweeter with you two baby bears!!
You started crawling this month and that has been so much fun because now Judson is really starting to view you as a little “playmate”
and goodness, every single day just keeps on getting more and more fun with you two!!
Nine months old is such a precious little age and stage and we are soaking it all up!!
You are the most JOYful little baby and mama’s little snuggle bug!
You love to nurse, got your two bottom teeth in this month,
are a great eater already (already holding your water cup and feeding yourself with a spoon and finger foods, too!),
love to be out and about in the stroller and worn in mama’s baby carrier, are officially “mobile” and playing all the time and spend most of your days just giggling with your big brother!
I feel like the luckiest mama in the world getting to raise you and sweet little Judson
and love spending our days making so many precious memories together!!
This past month has been filled with even more precious winter-time memories!! Starting with a fun little mommy-son trip to the local children’s museum,
allll the valentines’ hugs and kisses from my sweet baby valentines (loved carrying on our “lipstick kiss” tradition with Sweet Baby Levi Rhett here for the fun this year hehe),
lots of coffee shop and library trips,
all the sweet brother lovin’ and giggles,
evening family walks now that the days are starting to get a bit longer, sweet baby snuggles,
many trips to the beautiful lake near our home,
valentines sugar cookie baking,
delivering goodies to our elderly neighbor,
enjoying a week of “sunny and 75” weather before the cold front came back this past week,
our beautiful camellia bush blooming in the front yard all February long,
a fun galentines night with one of my dearest friends,
sweet babywearing at church,
a trip out to our farm sweet farm (we are getting oh so excited for all that’s to come out there!),
a super fun valentines sensory bin,

We have been married almost 6 years (in the end of March!) and it is so crazy to see how far the Lord has brought us - from spending our engagement season on two different continents (USA to Uganda), fixing up our very first home in the city, had and brought home our first baby there, sold it to move up to my great grandparents’ old family farmhouse for a season and closed on our dream 15 acre farm, had our second baby boy, and now getting closer and closer to building our dreams out on our little slice of heaven!!
These “two kids in love” always prayed and dreamed for these days… and we are truly living them!! All glory to God - who is the author and giver of dreams and this beautiful life and growing family He has blessed us with!!
I love you endlessly, my forever valentine!!! You make all of my dreams come true and are the best thing that ever happened to me!!! #emilysayswes

We had the best time frolicking and playing around in the yard and going on a little red wagon ride down the street catching snowflakes on our tongues and just soaking it all in!! Even though the snow wasn’t sticking because it’s not quiteee cold enough, we have had an absolute ball admiring so many big beautiful snow flakes and it was snowing all morning long!!
And my little angel Sweet Baby Levi Rhett fell asleep on my chest while we were playing up until lunchtime and it was pure heaven!! Is there anything dreamier than a snuggly sleeping baby and snow falling all around you?!
And as I was admiring the beautiful snowflakes as they fell softly to the ground, I couldn’t help but notice God’s intricate attention to detail in every single one!! I mean.. it just truly blows me away the beauty that our Creator put right before our eyes to behold (my word for 2025) and love when He draws my attention to His Creation in this way!

I am so grateful for this continued collaboration with this precious company and love sharing their beautiful well-made and high-quality clothes with y’all! Linked these (& my other Easter picks!!) for y’all over on my LTKit shop and I will get pics of the boys in them in the coming weeks as well!! #classicwhimsycollaboration
ANDDDDD they even gave me a CODE for y’all!! Use can use code EASTEREM for 20% off Easter items (valid through March 14th)! Can’t wait for y’all to get some of these adorable outfits for your little ones this upcoming spring and easter season, too!! #itmaybewinteroutsidebutinmyheartitsspring
And ofcourse some magnatile play after lunch and up until nap time! I love how they are starting to play together now - it truly warms my heart so much as a mommy!!! What a gift these brother besties are to one another already!! Also, Judson is superrrr into “building things” these days and keeps telling me he wants to be a “daddy builder” one day when he grows up - he looks up to you so much, Wes - and all we are talking about these days out on our land!!!
Click here to see a sweet motherhood reel I shared - I read this beautiful quote by one of my favorite authors, Sally Clarkson, the other day and wanted to share because I loved it so much!!
“Every woman has the potential to embrace her own story, to become “queen” over her own domain, to work hard to leave a legacy of wisdom, love, gratitude, & grace.” - Sally Clarkson

And onto an EMC note…
I have been so grateful for your constant love and support of this sweet small business of mine over the years! I can never thank you enough and I will never stop thanking the Lord for the sweet blessing this business has been for our family in this season - especially now that we have another sweet new baby here for all the fun!! I am so excited to keep sharing lots and lots of happy EMC art with y’all in this new year of 2025 now, too!!
All of my popular EMC designs and card sets are perfect to share as the sweetest and most unique gift ideas with all of your friends this new year ahead of us - for all of their special cities, towns, and places - and perfect wall art and stationery for you to stock up on for gifts in the coming months, too!!
