Baby Registry Guide: Newborn to 5 Month Essentials

I published a baby registry guide post (here) almost two-and-a-half years ago, and I’ve been sharing it with friends ever since. I recently read through it again and realized a lot of links were broken, and that I needed to add new ‘Emi favorites.’

When I first compiled this list, I thought to myself, ‘I need to make a concise list of all essential items for a baby’s first five months.’ Then I listed all of the products we use on a day-to-day basis, and oh-my-gosh – it is quite the opposite of concise. Babies require lots and lots of stuff.

Introducing Emilia Wilkie Petrovic

Our sweet baby girl is here! It truly feels like yesterday that I was penning Isla’s birth story, and I still am pinching myself that our second daughter is now at home with us (and her due date isn’t until Friday!). As corny as it sounds, I really did worry that I wouldn’t be able to love another baby as much as I did Isla, but ohmygosh, once that baby is in your arms, that fear dissipates. And now that we’re at home as a complete family unit, my heart keeps growing and growing. We are so, so in love with this teensy tiny baby. I wanted to write down Emi’s birth story before forgetting any details, so here we go!

Introducing Baby Lincoln

Ailee_Petrovic_151024_4B3A0542 Last weekend, I had the privilege of photographing sweet baby Lincoln, who was less than two weeks old and the cutest little man. I’ve followed his mama’s blog – Veronika’s Blushing – for years now, but hadn’t actually met her until this newborn session. She is just as gorgeous in ‘real life’ as she is in photos – and sweet to boot. 

Some of my favorite photos were those of Lincoln’s older sister, Harper, holding him for the very first time. She softly stroked his head, and it melted my heart. Plus, we let her bounce on her brand new bed, and she loved that too! 

I’m sharing some photos from the session below – prepare yourself for some serious baby fever.

Introducing Baby Jack

Ailee_Petrovic_150929_4B3A0759-2On Tuesday, I got to meet the cutest little newborn named Jack. His mom, Katie, asked me to take his baby photos at their gorgeous house unknowing that we have a few mutual friends in common – the world is so small! I’m grateful that she asked me, because Jack is adorable and I’m glad I got to photograph these special early days. 

Today I am sharing a few of my favorite photos from the session! Isn’t he a doll? Plus, his nursery decor is perfect!

Introducing Murphey Grace

Murphey Grace (1 of 1)-20 Last Thursday, I took newborn photographs for sweet Murphey Grace, whose Mom I was introduced to by a friend, but it turned out I had already met Morgan because our husbands were in the same MBA class at The University of Texas. Not to mention she went to college with my friend, Danielle, and played volleyball in high school with my cousin, Natalia. Smallest world ever, right?

Murphey was a little angel during the shoot, and didn’t even make a peep when her dad tried to pose her in one of his cowboy boots! That baby girl was over 10 pounds at birth, and she was not sliding into any leather shoe! Ha.

Izzy, their dog, was the perfect co-model. Belle was not having it during our newborn shoot with Isla, but Izzy just sat there and ‘smiled.’ Aren’t Izzy and Murphey just adorable? I’ve got a few newborn shoots lined up when I get back from Colorado – already excited about them! If you’ve got any pregnant friends in Houston, send them my way, please!
