Six Whole Months of Sweet Baby Levi Rhett!

Thank you, Jesus, for the most JOYful six months of our lives

with our happy little baby turkey

in Sweet Baby Levi Rhett here in our arms!!

Every single day just keeps on getting sweeter and more fun

and we are sooo beyond smitten with you, precious baby boy!!

You are at the absolute sweetest most adorable little age as we head into the holidays and

we can’t wait to experience both your very first Thanksgiving and Christmas season!!

It is such a special gift having a sweet snuggly little bundle of love

here for the coziest time of year

and our hearts are truly just filled to the brim with gratitude and love for this sweet season of life as a new family of four!!

This past month has been full of SO many special memories –

you got to be pooh bear

for your #veryfirsthalloween

(cutest snuggly

and sleepy baby bear I ever did see!),

you got to go to the Concert For Carolina

(#babysfirstconcert !!)

and slept on mama’s chest through the whole thing

(core memory unlocked!),

got to experience your very first fall

and all of the falling leaves,

we got our Christmas card photos taken out on the farm (they turned out sooo good!!),

decorated our little old family farmhouse for the holidays

all merry and bright,

lots and lots of snuggles by the dining room Christmas tree (we go to get our REAL tree this weekend and I am so excited!!), took a spontaneous trip back home to Charlotte to visit with my family,

and just got back from the sweetest fall getaway

by the sea!!

You are the happiest most JOYful little baby and truly make every day the best day ever with your radiant gummy smile, cute as a button dimples, bright blue “melt me to a million pieces” eyes, non-stop giggles, and cuddly little bundle of love self!!

Your big brother Judson absolutely adores you and you adore him (and your puppy big brother Red!!) right back!

You are the most easygoing, content, go-with-the-flow little babe

and have made our transition to two babies oh so sweet –

and we truly could not have been more blessed with you!!

You loveeee to snuggle, nap on mama,

be worn in the baby carrier,

follow everything your big brother does

(the way your face lights up when you see Judson every morning is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!), be outside in nature, play with your puppy bestie Red,

roll all over the place, are starting to sit up on your own,

and continue to be such a great little sleeper!!

Like I always say… you are truly the sweetest little angel baby sent straight from heaven

and it is about to be the most special holiday season yet

seeing the magic of the season

through your little eyes for the very first time

and watching big brother Judson “show you the ropes” hehe!

There is nothing sweeter than a #babysfirstthanksgiving and #babysfirstchristmas ,

and what a gift to have your precious little self to snuggle all season long and that you are at such a fun little age to experience it all!

I am so grateful to get to spend my days raising you and your big brother, and truly am living in the sweetest days of my life yet!

Oh, how thankful I am that Jesus gave us you – Happy happy six months, our sweet, precious, cuddly, perfect in every way… Sweet Baby Levi Rhett!!

And now to recap all the sweet memories since my last blog post (aka… the last month – so if you haven’t already… make sure to go read my birth story blog , “first 2 weeks” blog, one month of Levi Rhett blog, two months of Levi Rhett blog, three months of Levi Rhett blog, four months of Levi Rhett blog, and five months of Levi Rhett blog, too!!

Starting off with a cute little fall reel I made - there’s just nothing better than raising babies and making cozy fall season memories with my very best friend!!  

It makes me smile knowing my sweet little babies are half me and half the person I love - and goodness, how special is it to have a brand new little baby to love this cozy and fun time of year for #babysfirstfall - such a sweet gift!

Click here to see another video reel of a sweet fall evening with my “boys of fall” that filled my heart so stinkin’ much - babywearing my Sweet Baby Levi Rhett to check on the chickens and garden, Judson riding in his beloved little red wagon, Red along for the fun, the most stunning changing leaves, mums & pumpkins on the back deck, tractors and sunset, a little blue airplane that brings so much fun and joy - goodness… it just doesn’t get better than nights like last night!! These truly are the days!!

Feel so blessed by this sweet little simple country life of ours - I love being wifey to Wes and mama to my two baby boys -

what a precious season of life this is #chasingdreamsandchasingbabies with #fullhandsandfullerhearts this year for #babysfirstfall and our #firstfallasafamilyoffour !! Thank you, Jesus!!

Click here to see a “day in the life” video of my kind of sweet fall Wednesday around here!

Started the day with morning coffee time and brother lovin’ cuteness before we headed out the door and had the best morning at our weekly Bible study group (& nursery class for Judson) -

some Sweet Baby Levi Rhett snuggles during the large group teaching and always love seeing what crafts J got to make during his class with all of his little friends!! So stinkin’ precious!!

And then Judson was down for his nap and I loved getting some sweet baby snuggles with baby boy hehe - the way Levi Rhett smiles up at me as he’s falling asleep in my arms just melts me - what a special special gift it is being my angel boys’ mama!!! Nothing in the whole wide world like this kind of love!

And one of my favorite things every month is updating the baby books and it was the most dreamy fall front porch (my happy place) afternoon to do just that!!!

PS. I linked these precious keepsake baby books for y’all over on my LTKit app, too, so make sure to go follow along with me there if you haven’t already!!

Sweetest little pumpkins I ever did see - these precious baby boys truly are the JOY of my life and it is the greatest gift ever getting to be their mama and watch their little love for one another grow every single day!

Judson ADORES his baby brother and watching him thrive in his new “big brother” role has brought my heart more joy than I could ever describe - there is truly nothing sweeter than sibling love this year for our #firstfallasafamilyoffour !!

Click here to see a reel of some sweet little baby feet and changing fall leaves all around…

but truly, is there anything sweeter than a sweet new baby here just in time for the coziest season of them all?!

And just like that… it was officially “Halloweekend,” y’all!! Our pumpkins were carved (with the very cutest new #babyinapumpkin this year), costumes ready (see what we carved for a “hint” hehe), and we were so excited for some fun fall things planned for that October weekend ahead, too!!

It was a beautiful fall week here with all of the gorgeous weather and changing leaves all around - and it all filled my heart with so much joy!!

We spent lots of time outside,

enjoyed time out on the front porch and back deck,

did some fun flashlight reading for J (aka using the glow up stick from the wedding the other weekend that he’s been loving),

soaked in all the Sweet Baby Levi Rhett sleepy snuggles (the best), did lots and lots of babywearing (my favorite thing!), morning and evening walks,

went on trips to the playground and park,

and just savored lots of lovely fall days at home!!

We had such a fun fall Friday night at the fall festival back home in Charlotte at Myers Park Country Club with my family -

getting to dress up in our costumes (Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, Tigger, and Piglet hehe),

play all kinds of fun games, and had an absolute ball!! Tigger was bouncin’ around with all the fun with his cousins to be had

and our sweet little baby Pooh Bear was content and happy as can be in the stroller

(seriously the sweetest most easygoing baby ever!!)

and took a good snooze on mama, too!!

Like my mom and dad said, it feels like just yesterday that my three sisters and I were the little ones running around on the lawn out in front of the club,

and now here we are with five babies three and under between us all - haha so surreal!!  

Click here to see a reel from the most fun fall Friday night yet with our new family of four for #babysfirstfall and #babysfirsthalloween

at the cutest fall festival at MPCC with my family (& sooo much cousins fun for the babies)!!

I simply cannot handle the sweetness of the smiliest in the stroller and then sleeping baby pooh bear on my chest in the baby carrier and the cutest little toddler tigger this year for our “100 Acres Woods” costume!! And I sure do love my “Christopher Robin,” too!!

Such a fun start to “Halloweekend” and good practice wearing our costumes for Halloween coming up that following week, too!!

Click here to see a video reel of the most gorgeous fall Saturday for all the cousin playing fun (so fun having all 5 together!!) out in the yard of my childhood home sweet home and then a trip to the park - it just doesn’t get better than October Saturdays like this back home (the leaves are sooo pretty right now) with the people you love!! And y’all know I live for all the babywearing with my snuggly littlest pumpkin, Sweet Baby Levi Rhett (who’s always just along for the ride - angel baby)!!

Best night EVER at the Concert for Carolina - great music with some of my very favorite artists for an even greater cause!! We love you forever, our beloved Carolinas!! I am a born and raised Carolina girl and always will be… and this was a night we will always remember!!

Such a fun time taking baby to his very first concert and getting to spend such fun time with all three of my sisters, too!!

And I can’t think of a better group of artists or set-up for #babysfirstconcert - like everyone kept saying to us… we sure are raising up a country music-loving carolina boy right from the start hehe

and this sweet dream baby of ours (sooo easygoing and chill y’all!!) truly could not have had a better time (& stole lots of hearts) -

smiling as cute as can be in his adorable little headphones (the same exact ones we used when we took Judson to HIS very first concert… at this exact same age…

so it made me so happy that we got to do the same with baby brother!!) and then slept on mama’s chest all night through the concert (angel!!) - a memory I’ll never forget!!

Such a sweet memory wearing Sweet Baby Levi Rhett in the baby carrier and rocking him back and forth swaying to so many of the acoustics versions of my favorite songs!!

“Oh, Carolina, calling me homeeeee”  

Click here to see a reel I put together of our time at the concert – truly a night I will never forget!!

We love you forever, our beloved Carolinas!! Babywearing my sweet Carolina baby boy (Sweet Baby Levi Rhett in his little headphones was the cutest thing ever), listening to my favorite artists, and supporting an amazing cause will be a memory I’ll cherish forever!! Forever a proud Carolina girl - where my heart and home is and always will be!!

It truly was the very best kind of October “Halloweekend” back home sweet home - the Concert for Carolina (#babysfirstconcert sure was one we will never forget), a fun fall festival in our costumes, allllll the cousin fun with all my sisters & kiddos back together, raking and playing in the most gorgeous fall changing leaves all around, a saturday morning trip to the playground, lots and lots of baby bear snuggles, and just soaking in all the sweetness and nostalgia of fall back home with my favorite people in the world - my family!!

Click here to see the sweetest fall video of Judson playing in the leaf pile back home! It is soooo sweet and nostalgic seeing your firstborn child play in the same tree leaf pile at your childhood home that you played in every single fall growing up!!

And there is nothing more magical in childhood than raking and jumping into piles and piles of leaves - this brings back so many of my very favorite childhood memories!!! Oh what a joy it is to experience it all again through the eyes of your babies!!!

Click here to see a video from the dreamiest fall walk on the trails one night with the leaves reallyyyyy changing colors!!!

It’s been the sweetest fall ever as a new family of four these days - my happiest season yet!! Long live toddler bike and happy baby stroller walks under the most beautiful canopy of autumn leaves!! These truly are such precious days!!

PS. linked J’s toddler bike and our stroller for y’all over on my LTKit shop - they are the best for this stage with a new baby and little one!!!

Nothing like a snuggly sleepy little fall baby bear on your chest with the most gorgeous falling leaves all around. A new cuddly baby just in time for the fall season truly is my version of heaven on earth!

Click here to see a reel of my snuggly fall bear on my chest!

PS. Linked this beloved baby carrier (my #1 most-used and, in my opinion, must-have item as a new #mamaoftwo) over on my LTKit shop for y’all!

Full hands and fuller hearts this fall season and feel so blessed to be these little pumpkins’ mama - it truly is the joy of my life spending all of my days raising them!!

So many times recently I just find myself overflowing with gratitude to the Lord for this life and getting to be a stay-at-home mama - I truly love this season of life and the sweetness of raising my tiny baby boys so!! Gosh, they truly have my whole heart and I live for the “little moments” all day long and watching their sibling love grow, too - it’s so fun!!

Judson is truly my firstborn sweetheart (& tiny boyfriend hehe who gives me kisses all day long) and Baby Levi Rhett is just the happiest snuggliest little baby ever!! Goodness, just feel so blessed and love this sweet and simple little life of mine!

Click here to see a reel of my favorite kind of Wednesday! 

Fully convinced there’s nothing sweeter in life than babies and pups - so sweet starting the morning with some #levirhettandred lovin’ before we headed out the door for our Bible study group!!

Bible study days are our favorite days around here - and these little pumpkins in their matching smocks (per Judson’s request that morning) melted me hehe!! Gosh I love them so and love that we have such a special place where J gets to play with his friends while mama gets to study the word

(& Sweet Baby Levi Rhett gets to join in & snooze during large group teaching, too)!! Judson’s little class was learning about David and Goliath today and how precious are these little crafts he came home with - little stick figure puppets to reenact  the story with andddd a little sling shot and rock (so creative)!!! I love hearing from him what he is learning about and he looks forward to it every week!!

And that cozy fall afternoon called for allllll the snuggles with my littlest baby pumpkin - there is truly nothing I love more than this right here! What a special fall season this is for #babysfirstfall and our #firstfallasafamilyoffour !!

It was an oh so sweet October “Halloweek” over here with our little pumpkins -

full of lots of gorgeous fall walks with the most stunning changing leaves,

bubbles and mums on the porch with mama’s morning coffee,

baby snuggles upon snuggles,

stocking up on our Halloween candy for the trick-or-treaters, pumpkin counting games fun, sweet times at our local Bible study group,

and driving out by our land and taking “Tigger and Baby Pooh Bear” to see their “RaRa and Papa Jack” (costumes and all)!!

I love this time of year

and we have been soaking in so many sweet memories for our #firstfallasafamilyoffour - Happy “Halloween Eve,” y’all!!

Happy Halloween from our very own “Hundred Acre Wood” - Sweet Little Baby Pooh Bear, Toddler Tigger, Piglet & Christopher Robin!

“Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So today is my new favorite day”

“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart”

The very cutest baby pooh bear & adoring big brother tigger I ever did see!! These two cuties sure were excited to do allllll the trick-or-treating Halloween night!!

What a special Halloween to remember as our very #firsthalloweenasafamilyoffour - with the cutest smiliest (& sleepiest snuggliest baby bear on mama’s chest the whole time we went trick-or-treating hehe)

Baby Pooh Bear here for #babysfirsthalloween and happiest Tigger bouncing around trick-or-treating in the cutest little “Halloweentown”

before coming back to pass out candy at my dear Uncle Edgar’s house!!

We had so much fun and it truly was the sweetest Halloween yet - from start to finish - with the sweetest “Hundred Acre Wood” brother lovin’

and baby snuggles with our newest little addition in our arms this year!!

So fun thinking back to last year, I was about #12weekspregnant on Halloween but hadn’t announced yet!! It was a special Halloween and fall season knowing we had another little pumpkin on the way -

and eek even more special that our little tiny baby Pooh bear is HERE for all the fun this year!! And goodness, how special it has been watching Tigger hehe be the best big brother ever –

the SWEETEST brother sweetness I have ever seen! I love this life and family we are building and growing together, Wes… and the best is yet to come in our very own “15 Acre Wood” hehe on our farm sweet farm!!

The highlight of my night was everyone commenting on sleeping baby Pooh bear on my chest as we were trick-or-treating saying “awwwww how sweet - a sleeping tiny Pooh bear!!” - it truly was a memory I’ll always cherish of #babysveryfirsthalloween - that our little honey bear slept right through hehe!!

It was a Halloween full of trick-or-treating in our adorable “Halloweentown” here, baby snuggles upon snuggles (nothing better than a cuddly new baby here just in time for the coziest time of year y’all!!), and the sweetest Pooh Bear – Tigger lovin’ all day long!!

Hope everyone had the best Halloween ever andddd as soon as it was officially November 1st… you know what that means in the Mabry household hehe - bring on alllll the holiday joy ahead (we may have gotten the Christmas boxes down that very morning) with a sweet new little baby here for the most wonderful time of the year and our little Santa #babysveryfirstchristmas !!

Even at the age of 3, Judson knows the true reason for the season and so loves learning about and sharing the TRUE joy and everlasting hope that we have in Jesus!!

The breathtaking colors, the smooth as glass water, and God’s glory all around… there were truly no words for how stunning this all was. We just stood in awe and wonder of the Lord and His goodness - glory to HIM!

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” // Psalm 19:1

And we stayed out playing in the sand until the sun went all the way down - soaking up every last minute of this dreamy evening!!! We sure do have some beach-loving babies around here and I love raising them by the sea - my favorite place in the world and the same beach I’ve been coming to ever since I was a little girl!

And then right before we went in to head out for dinner (Thai food - my favorite - for the win !!), we looked up and saw the biggest and brightest full moon we had ever seen!! What a night!!

Nothing beats waking up to this morning coffee view with a snuggly lil’ baby in our arms -

and in the words of Judson (in his Santa jammies hehe)… “there are so many colors on the sun!”

We are just so grateful for the happiest giggliest little cutie pie in our actual real life SONshine, Sweet Baby Levi Rhett!!! Goodness he is a true JOY bomb, y’all! Every day just gets sweeter and more and more fun and we know this is going to be the sweetest #babysfirstholidayseason yet!!!

And there is just nothing I love more than snuggling a little sleepy baby in a rocking chair down at the beach - be still my heart!! What a gift this weekend is every single year - our favorite fall time getaway by the sea!!

It was the best little start to our annual fall weekend by the coast

and our hearts oh so full of gratitude for these little beach-lovin’ baby turkeys of ours!!

Yesterday we got lunch at my favorite spot since I was a little girl, Southport Provision Company , and then walked around Southport to do a little Christmas shopping and found some precious gifts for some loved ones!! Walking around the “Christmas House”  and the Bullfrog toy shop has always been such a fun tradition (brings me back to my own childhood memories) and Judson loved it so much!!

Sweet Baby Levi Rhett was just along for the ride and took a little snooze on mama’s chest - so so thankful to get to spend a beautiful november weekend down at the beach this time of year!!

The Lord has truly blessed me beyond measure and continues to show me so much of his abundant love through these sweet precious beach boys of mine!!

And oh so grateful to have our newest little baby turkey in Sweet Baby Levi Rhett here in our arms for this year’s fall weekend getaway by the sea!!

So very thankful for these TWO little cutie pie beach baby turkeys this Thanksgiving season to love and adore - be still my heart!!

I can’t get over the sweetness of these brother besties in their matching turkey smocks on the beach- and yes, I linked these absolutely precious Classic Whimsy Thanksgiving gingham outfits for y’all over in my LTKit app!!

“… I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.“ // John 10:10

A sweet baby strapped to my chest, a cutie little toddler playing his heart out in the sand, and letting the waves crash over my toes… it just doesn’t get better than this right here! The coast will forever be my favorite place in the world!!

Truly couldn’t be more grateful this “season of thanks” for this beautiful life with my sweet boys - I love being these babies’ mama more than words could ever describe!! What a special time down at the beach taking in God’s breathtaking Creation and thanking Him for His many many blessings this November season!!

Watched the most gorgeous sunset go down over the water before dinner before going out for a little icecream treat - Judson was one happy camper and Sweet Baby Levi Rhett slept right through our little outing!! Yesterday was my favorite kind of Saturday down at the beach!!

Click here to see a beautiful fall Sunday down at the beach!

It truly was the most gorgeous sunny fall sunday down at the beach and we were soaking it alllll up!!!

Running into the waves, catching sand crabs, sleepy lil’ baby  snuggles, and admiring God’s stunning Creation all around!!

Bubba took a good long nap in the baby carrier and I was in heaven with the sweetest sleepy beach cuddles with my little angel on my chest!! We met the sweetest elderly woman named Martha walking down the beach by us and, when she came back to pass us on her way back, she said she has found these two gorgeous shells for my two babies for them to always remember this special trip - be still my heart!!

This truly is the sweetest season of my life with a little toddler and new baby to love and I am in heaven these days!! I love this growing family of ours and thank Jesus every single day for giving me Wes to build this beautiful life and family with!!

Just the sweetest memories from the most beautiful fall getaway by the sea! Our hearts are so full and overflowing with gratitude for the most special fall beach weekend yet with our TWO sweet baby boys in our arms this year -

I sure do love this growing family of mine so and doing life with these “beach boys” of mine!!! And always so special taking my babies back to the family beach house I’ve been coming to all these years - always brings back so many memories!!

Click here to see a dreamy little november day back home sweet home!

It was a “Merry Monday” with the cutest lil’ baby polar bear and puppy bestie in the bed I ever did see!!

Nothing beats sweet slow mornings with my babies in their Christmas jammies - I truly do have the best job in the world being their mama!!

It was the most GORGEOUS fall day and we spent all morning outside!! Such a beautiful walk down the street admiring the beautiful fall leaves and looking for dandelions with my babies - these truly are the days!!!

Just out here raising #littlecountryboys by the garden and baseballs and golf balls flying all around - living my #boymamadream life, y’all!

Just WAIT ‘til we get out on our land… these baby boys are going to be in heaven!!!

And Judson did a little cookin’ in our beloved “mud kitchen” for mama before lunch and naps - and mmmmmmhmmm those sweet potatoes were goodddd hehe!! I love seeing his little imagination and couldn’t love this mud kitchen more - we got it for him for his birthday gift this year, but it would make an incredible Christmas gift idea as well!! Linked it for y’all over on my LTKit shop!

There is truly nothing like experiencing the magic of the season through your babies’ eyes!!

“Dada” coming home is everyone’s favorite part of the day and I pray I never forget the sweetness of these moments - a snuggly new baby in my arms, kisses under the mistletoe from my toddler, and the sweetest husband in the whole wide world! God, you have truly blessed me beyond measure! And allllll the smiles because we got to let Judson and Baby Levi Rhett see all the Christmas lights outside and J was sooo excited!!

It was PURE magic seeing the joy in both of our babies’ eyes as we took them out in their Christmas jammies to see the Christmas lights in the yard!!! My personal favorite is when Judson was petting the reindeer and said, “Wow! Santa is going to be so happy about thjs reindeer I like” -

Yes, yes he is, sweet baby boy!!!! Goodness, there is nothing like seeing the magic of the season through the eyes of little ones and also getting to experience #babysveryfirstchristmas this year with our Sweet Baby Levi Rhett!!  

And we loved our storytime reading of our favorite “Christmas on the Farm” book - it is getting us all so excited for what the future holds out on our land! And the way Judson loves to hold bubba’s hand - be still my heart y’all!! I love raising these little country baby boys with my best friend!!

And Judson’s favorite decoration of all may just be these little candles in all of the windows - which is so nostalgic to me because my parents always did this growing up, too! So special carrying on so many special Christmas-time traditions with my own family now!!

My cutie pie turkeys and my whole world!! Filled with oh so much gratitude this Thanksgiving time of year for our growing family and all of God’s many many blessings in this season of #landandbabies !!

“Raise em’ up, trophy high / Raise em’ up to the sky / Raise em’ up, show everybody that newborn smile / Raise ‘em up tall and strong / Raise ‘em up right from wrong / Raise em’ up so high they can hear God singing along…”

We sure are smitten with you, Sweet Baby Levi Rhett!! You are pure JOY and sugar sweetness, and truly our best Christmas gift of all this year!

 These truly are the days -

and I couldn’t be more grateful to spend my days

raising these sweet

country baby boys of ours -

days full of baby snuggles,

playing outside in nature,

all the walks & playground dates, and getting our sweet little old family farmhouse decorated for the holiday season (yay for the outdoor lights officially up)!!

And yesterday at our weekly local Bible study group (our last meeting for a bit with Thanksgiving next week), a sweet elderly woman named Mary Ann stopped me as I was walking into the large group meeting (who I had never met before!), and said she had hand knit this little hat for my baby!!! How stinkin’ precious!! She said she wanted him to have it in time for the cold winter months ahead! I mean… what an act of kindness and just a way to love on a new mama - made my whole week!!! There are so so many wonderful kind people in this world, and this woman was such an angel to love my baby so! I love taking my babies there and seeing what all Judson learns about in his little preschool class, too (this week it was Daniel and the Lion and his little craft activity has been so much fun)!!

And onto an EMC note…
