Our little artist extraordinaire turns 6 today! I remember the day we gave birth to our first born just like it was yesterday. I recall being nervous and excited + wanting it to be over already because I let him 'cook' for 42 weeks. I chose to go with Intown Midwifery as opposed to a regular OBGYN to avoid having a C-section as I learned that many times this is the case. I managed to avoid the surgery during both births with the support of my amazing midwives.

We were so green back then and just yesterday on our date night we smiled after seeing a couple of new parents as they struggled with their cart full of baby items from Target trying to decided what to unload first as they got back to the car. Parenthood is a journey unlike any other starting at the very moment you both learn about the new child to come all the way to when you first bring them home. We had all of our fun first's with Phoenix from the inevitable 'blow-out' diapers, to putting together the crib that you just had to have and didn't even use lol to your first time traveling with a kid in tow. Phoenix's first airplane ride was to my hometown of New York City. We took him there to celebrate the 100th birthday of my late Great Aunt. I still smile at the pictures of him all wrapped up in his snowsuit as he napped on the bed in the Aloft Harlem hotel. He has always been a great traveler and never made a fuss about sitting on the plane. He seems to keep himself entertained by making his own figurines out of paper these days.
Phoenix is also quite and avid nature explorer, which is why I gifted him with a subscription to the Wild Explorers Club! I can't wait until he gets his first assignment in the mail.
Join us on Instagram to wish Phoenix a very Happy 6th birthday.
