I am 🔟 months old! I can officially crawl, but what I really think is cool right now is pulling myself to stand up. I love music & will “dance” to it (kind of like a manic fist pump) & I like to clap & wave too. I have 8 teeth & love to eat! I’ve been exploring all of my big brothers’ toys in the playroom, which has opened a whole new world for me! 💕

It’s the end of an era ❤️

Today I officially said goodbye to the pump, something that’s been such a huge part of my life for the past 6 years.

I nursed the boys, but still pumped for nightly bottles & trips. But when I had Nora everything changed. Severe preeclampsia, hospital complications & a postpartum season I never saw coming… & somehow, in the middle of all that, I became an exclusive pumper. I’ve logged over 250 hours (more than 15,000 minutes 😱) hooked up to that pump, doing everything I could to give my babies what they needed.

It wasn’t glamorous. It was tiring, emotional & honestly one of the hardest things I’ve done. But it was also incredibly meaningful. This chapter holds so many late nights, early mornings, tears, little victories & so much love.

We’re not planning on having more kids, so this truly is the end of a whole era for me. It’s bittersweet… closing a door on a season that stretched me, challenged me & made me proud of what my body & heart were capable of.

I still have frozen milk to carry us to her first birthday (with some formula too) & I feel grateful knowing I can close this chapter with no regrets. Just pride, gratitude & so much love for the 3 little people I did all of this for 💙💙🩷

Happy Halloween from the future Kelce’s! 🏈🎤✨

Classic mom brain moment: spent a whole month thinking we had a couples Halloween party… only to realize the day before that it was the wrong date and we’d be in Cabo instead 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 After all that costume prep, we had to at least get the photo proof!

A weekend of pumpkin patch adventures with our little crew 🎃 Hard to believe that just last year we were here with the boys & Nora was still in my belly & now she’s here in our arms taking it all in with us 🧡

I am 9️⃣ months old! I found my scrunchy smile! I love cruising all over the house in my walker & pulling all the night lights out of the outlets 🙃 I can do an army crawl if I really want something, like a remote. I’m getting my 5th tooth! My favorite things are going for walks & taking a bath. I am VERY vocal & love a good scream, whether I’m excited or upset. I am definitely a force to be reckoned with compared to my older brothers! 😝

I am 8️⃣ months old! I am getting my top front teeth (ouch!) & I had my first ever play date with other babies! I started using a walker, but I mainly use it to get to the indoor plants so I can pull all of the moss out 😜 I am very close to sitting on my own! My favorite things are eating, Ms Rachel songs, taking baths & getting attention from my parents & brothers, it immediately makes me smile so big! 💗

First day of 4K preschool for Nash! 🦖🦕 He’s been counting down ever since Nico started school, wanting to be just like his big bro, and you can see the excitement all over his face! He was so proud to wear his (very heavy) backpack and spot some old friends in his class. I already can’t wait to pick him up and hear all about his first day! 💚

#LTKFamily #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKKids

I am 7️⃣ (and a half) months old! 💗 I went from not really eating purées, to eating full blown meals! I love teethers, peanut butter toast, fruit, cheese & puffs! I am still a great sleeper & my mom has been working on my nursery! I love to kick my legs & laugh when I’m excited, especially in the bathtub! Lately I’ve been enjoying morning & afternoon walks to my big brother’s new school 🥰 #babygirl #7monthsold #targetstyle

#LTKFamily #LTKSaleAlert #LTKBaby

Just like that, my baby is off to kindergarten. Nearly 6 years at home together went by in the blink of an eye & my heart is feeling all the feelings today. I’m so proud of the boy you’re becoming & excited to watch you grow, learn & take on this new adventure. Here’s to the start of something special 🎒📚

#LTKKids #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFamily

Happy 4️⃣th birthday to the funniest, toughest, most fearless boy around, today is your day! Whether you're cracking jokes, climbing everything in sight, being the awesome silly middle brother, or giving the kindest hugs, you make the world way more fun just by being YOU. Keep being wild, brave, sweet, and totally unstoppable. We love you Nash!! 💙🦖🦕

I am 6️⃣ months old & a lot has changed! I have two teeth, I transitioned to a crib in my own room & I started purées! I’m still unsure if I really like them. I went on my first vacation & was an absolute angel. I’m getting such a personality, becoming so observant & love chewing on everything & standing in my little activity center! 💕

#LTKBaby #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKSaleAlert

Another family vacation in the books! I can’t believe this is our 4th year coming here, and this time with baby Nora! 💕 She did soo good! Slept amazing and just took in all the chaos around her! And the boys were loving all of the water slides, pools, snacks, and just hotel life in general (room service, elevators & room keys! 😂) We were already saying how next year Nora will be running around trying to keep up with them 🥹 and Nico asked how many days are in a year till we come back. Trying to bottle in all these sweet moments while they’re all still little 🫶🏽

#LTKSwim #LTKKids #LTKBaby

I am 5️⃣ months old! My brothers made me do my first laugh & I am now ticklish on my thighs & cheeks! You can almost always find me with my fist shoved in my mouth 😆 I did my first swim in the pool & loved it! I watched my brother graduate preschool & celebrated my Mom for Mother’s Day. I’m looking forward to starting purées & solids soon, because I love watching people eat! 🩷

#LTKBaby #LTKFamily #LTKSummerEdit

Love this workout set so much! I didn’t realize it at the time, but I believe it’s a free people dupe? Comes in a few other colors too!

#LTKSummerEdit #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKActive

Late post but my friends were so sweet to celebrate Kelly’s & my birthday at @yamas_atx! 🎉 It was such a beautiful restaurant & we almost shut the place down per usual! Time flies when you’re live laugh loving! 💛

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKSummerEdit #LTKFindsUnder50

Nico has officially graduated preschool & I don’t know where the time has gone! We are so proud of how much he’s grown & are excited to have an amazing summer together before my baby is off to kindergarten 🥹💙 We love you Nico!!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFamily #LTKSaleAlert

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💐 Spending the day with my 3 blessings that made me a Mama & the man that created this beautiful life with me 🩷 I hope you’re all spoiled today!

I am 4️⃣ months old! I celebrated my first Easter & my Mom’s birthday! I love chewing on my hands & am constantly trying to sneak peeks at the TV 😂 I’m trying to sit up already & immediately roll to my back when my Mom tries to make me do tummy time. I love being in the center of all the chaos & do random excited screams to join in 🗣️

Easter fun!

#LTKBaby #LTKKids #LTKFamily

I am 3️⃣ months old! I love attention & being interacted with, and I’ve started cooing back in response! I sleep through the night & nap during most adventures including Top Golf & my first cave. I am getting better at tummy time & sometimes roll front to back. I watched Ms Rachel for the first time & thought she was pretty cool. I still do huge gummy smiles most of the day & am soo close to laughing! I met my cousin Hayla & am looking forward to meeting more family at my first Easter in a couple weeks 💕

#LTKFamily #LTKSaleAlert #LTKBaby

I am 2️⃣ months old! 💗

I love giving big smiles to my parents & brothers! I like ceiling fans, my bouncer, baths & I am sleeping longer stretches at night!

I am not a fan of long car rides, tummy time or sitting still for too long!

#LTKBaby #LTKSaleAlert #LTKSpringSale

With the holidays & Nora’s unexpected early arrival I never got a chance to share my maternity pictures. It’s crazy to look back at the belly now that she’s here & knowing it was her the whole time 🥰💕

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBump #LTKSaleAlert

All of my Valentine’s in one picture 🥹❤️💕

#LTKKids #LTKBaby #LTKFamily

I am 1️⃣ month old! I love eating, sleeping, grunting, laying on my parents chest, being talked to & meeting all my family & friends!

I’m not a big fan of long car rides, getting my diaper changed when I’m hungry, or being cold after a bath! 🩷

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBaby #LTKFamily
