Introducing Baby Caden

Introducing Baby Caden

Kevin, Kylie and I are thrilled to announce Baby Caden to our family! Caden was born on March 4, 2021 and is safe to say that we are SO in love. Caden was 9lbs 8oz and 20 inches and born with cheeks for days! He is so squishy and lovey and we just can’t get enough!

We are settling into this new life as a family of four and can’t wait to share more of Caden soon! Thank you for all the love!

BABY NUMBER TWO!

BABY NUMBER TWO!

Kevin, Kylie, and I are so thrilled to announce that I (Michelle) am pregnant with Baby Number 2! It feels so good to type those words out and I’m so excited to share this wonderful news with you all. We are expecting Baby Costello to arrive early March and cannot wait to give Kylie the best gift of all… a sibling!

I am almost 13 weeks pregnant and will be updating you all with a first trimester post soon. Like my pregnancy with Kylie, we are not finding out the gender and want to be surprised! We had the opportunity to find out the gender last week and passed (THAT WAS SO HARD TO DO!) but know how fun that surprise was the first time around.

As always, thanks for reading and sharing along the excitement with us! XOXO-Michelle

Our Favorite Books for Babies & Toddlers

Our Favorite Books for Babies & Toddlers

With the weather in Chicago being in the 90s the last couple of weeks, we take lots of breaks inside to cool off. One of our favorite things to do during this time is read books. Below are some books that our kids (and us!) have been loving lately!

Kylie’s alligator bubble is from Cecil & Lou, bow is from amazon
Kylie loves the raised pieces and cut-outs in this book!
Kylie loves feeling the furry tails and pulling the tabs to make the tails move!
This book is great for working on receptive and expressive vocabulary!

We suggest this top row of books for kids birth-2 years old (any of these would make a great baby shower gift, too!) and the bottom row ages 2-5 years old. Click the book cover for link!

This book showcases many different families and what makes us unique. The boys love the illustrations and fun rhymes in this book, too!
We love this stereotype-breaking message this book sends. It’s on repeat in our house!
The boys get so excited to read this book because it’s so fun! The illustrations are another kid favorite!
