This is about to be a blog post on nothing other than the developments of my child. Edison is no better or less than any other child, but he is mine and I’m excited. Especially because I’m not the mommy type so all of these emotions are VERY new to me. If this isn’t your cuppa tea, then leave this post be 🙂 Also, in case anyone is wondering, our matching shirts are from Kin&Kith! Use code MONNIIBEE and get free shipping Ya’ll. We’re officially out of the fourth trimester and we no longer have a newborn! And oh, how…
