We celebrated Sage Wylder’s first birthday party a few weeks ago and I’m so happy with how his party turned out! I knew I wanted to do a camp theme, and Andrew helped me come up with the ideas for “Sage’s Wylde One In The Woods”. The decor for his party was DIY, thrifted, or items that we already had. We worked on projects like the signs and banners a little bit every day for a few weeks to get everything done on time! We invited around 30 guests and about 25 of Sage’s guests were able to make it. My brother, his wife, and his nephew as well as my sister and her boyfriend flew in so my whole family was able to be together which was really special. A few of my mommy friends and their babies came and it was so cute watching Sage interact with them. The party went super smoothly and everyone had a great time!

We just celebrated Sage Wylder’s 1st birthday party a few weeks ago, but I still wanted to get up two more update blog posts, his nine & ten month update and his eleven and twelve month update! Momma feels like she is sooo busy all the time now. At nine months, Sage started pulling himself up to sit. On Halloween he started crawling after weeks of trying on his own without our help. Whenever we would try to help him we didn’t really get anywhere, so we kind of just let him do it when he decided to. A few days later he started pulling himself up to stand! Ever since then, things have been crazy around here ;P

Before I became a mom, I would see these adorable wooden play kitchens and I knew that I wanted one for my baby one day! I am so excited that Sage is finally old enough to play in his baby play kitchen from Lalo. When Sage and I were living with my parents, he loved watching his abuelita cooking. Now, he loves watching my partner Andrew in the kitchen. Andrew is a chef, and we have already started involving Sage in the kitchen when we are cooking. When he is old enough, he has a wooden tower that will allow him to work at the counter with us. For now, he seems to really enjoy banging around his baby play kitchen with his food and toy sets he got for Christmas!

Sage Wylder’s Seven & Eight Month Baby Update

By Esperanza on December 10, 2024

I am just now getting Sage’s seven and eight month updates up, the months have been flying by! He had his first cold at seven months which was super tough because I was sick too. He started sitting up, and rolling on his own, which he was very pleased about! He also started taking swim lessons, and he loves splashing around in the pool at my parent’s house. This boy was definitely meant to be outside! I couldn’t wait to spend more time outdoors with him when it cooled down here in Arizona. At eight months old Sagie had four teeth and several more are popping through. He loves eating his homemade blends, and going on walks! Nighttime sleep was super tough, and at the end of eight months he was down to two naps during the day. I was super excited to take him on some fall trips, and to experience his first holiday season (my first holiday season as a momma).

I can’t believe Sage is now almost 8 months old! I am so behind on getting his 5 and 6 month baby update up because I have been busy with travel content from our Central Oregon trip, brand campaigns, and packing for our move which I will be sharing more about on here soon. So here is a quick recap of Sage’s milestones during these months! He has gotten so much gigglier but he can definitely be very serious and knows how to let us know what he wants lol. I sometimes think to myself how lucky I am to be this special boy’s mom during little moments throughout the weeks. He is changing so much everyday… it really does go by so fast!

Sage Wylder’s Three & Four Month Baby Update

By Esperanza on June 16, 2024

I am finally sitting down to share Sage Wylder’s three and four month updates! As I mentioned in his one and two month update, the newborn phase was tough for me as a new, single momma. Every week gets so much better! Sage was a very serious newborn, but during months three and four, Sage started turning into this smiley, sweet, and curious baby boy. I have been loving these past few months with him and discovering his personality more and more. I feel like we have such a great connection and bond now which is so rewarding as a momma. He is such an amazing baby and I am so proud of him. Enough gushing, let’s get into the updates with tips and mommy must haves I loved as well!

Sage Wylder’s One & Two Month Baby Update

By Esperanza on April 22, 2024

I thought it would be fun to share updates for Sage Wylder’s first year of life! I got a little behind so I’m sharing month one and two together. The first month was a little tough as a new mom, but as the weeks went by, it got better and easier! It’s a little rough being thrown into taking care of a baby for the first time and I definitely had to learn a lot, especially because all babies are so different! Sage has always been very good at communicating his needs (lol!) and I feel like I know him so well now. We have a really good routine down now which is so essential for me as a work from home, single mom. I can’t believe how quickly he is growing and developing, it’s very bittersweet. I am a very proud mama!

The past seven weeks of Sage Wylder’s life have flown by! The first few weeks were tough with sleep deprivation and getting into a flow, but now Sage and I have a bit more of a routine down which makes such a big difference. I knew I wanted to share a blog post with my newborn must haves for other new momma’s out there who like me, did a lot of research to figure out everything I would need for baby. Now that he is almost 2 months old, I feel like I have a good idea of what items were newborn essentials for me. Of course these items will vary as all moms and babies are different, but I think this is a helpful start!
