Three years later, gone are the days of nursing, rocking and ‘shhhh’ him to sleep. Now, he has full blown conversations with me, cracks jokes and does squats with mommy. Like all parents are of their children, I am in absolute awe of him and am enjoying every day I get to watch him grow and learn just a little bit more. This year, he will become a big brother and our family will learn more new lessons and our hearts will grow even bigger; I can’t wait! So, even though he can’t read any of this, happy birthday my sweet boy, you are and always will be my greatest treasure.
Since today is a day of celebration, it was only fitting the post would feature one of my favorite items this season, my utility jacket. I find myself reaching for this so often and at the moment, can still zip it over my bump! Another plus, it is long enough to hide long maternity tops, something many of my jackets are lacking at the moment.

I am so looking forward to seeing your posts from the link-up today ladies! I hope your day is fantastic.

First of all I want to say Happy Birthday to that handsome little boy. Second I am loving both of these outfits. Brooke, you make one beautiful and stylish momma. Love how you dress the bump and that jacket is everything. The second dress (the blue one) is to die for. I really need one like that in my closet. Hope you’re having a fab week.

Hi Brooke. I am Ada. Just found your blog a little while ago and I am so glad I did because I love finding other stylish, beautiful mommy bloggers whom I have in common with. Pleasure linking up as well.
Happy Belated 3rd Birthday to your boy. They certainly grow up too fast. My little one will be 2 in January. You are such a glowing pregnant lady too in that ever-versatile utility vest (I need one of those). Are you expecting a boy or a girl this time?
Welcome by and check out my blog as well. Thanks and Happy Monday!
Ada. =)
