Oh how we love our Bijou Baby Planners! We feel so spoiled, actually, to be able to see them several times through their first year of life. It’s special, ever-changing, entertaining, and so incredibly fleeting. When we see baby at 1 year, and think back to what they were like at just a few days old, well, […]

Little sweet Hadley. She may have been born a bit early, and just over six pounds at birth, but this little lady is larger than she seems. Her name carries a beautiful history, family and courage. You see, Hadley was named after her great grandfather who died at sea while serving the Navy. Hadley, the great grandfather, […]
