Neila (pictured at thirteen months) was born at
home during a five-hour, pain-free labor. She lifted
her head up off of Mom’s chest moments after
birth. Mom drank plenty of bone broth, which
calmed heartburn and aided with sleep, as well as
consuming raw butter all summer from the fam-
ily’s grass-fed Jersey cow and plenty of cod liver
oil, liver, egg yolks, sauerkraut and garden-fresh
produce. Neila smiled by a week old and hasn’t
stopped smiling since. A very happy, easy-going
baby, she eats everything and anything and loves
her kefir! She took her first steps at ten and a half
months, walking perfectly by eleven months. Now
at twenty months, she is potty-trained and re-
peats many words. She amazes us and everyone
she meets. We are so thankful to God and WAPF
for helping bring healthy babies into the world!

Ava (pictured at age two) was born at home
during a five-hour ecstatic birth. We put a
moose roast in the slow cooker at 11am, and
by 6pm, the family was sitting down for sup-
per with the new baby. Ava smiled within days
of birth and still wears the biggest smile. She
was walking by eleven months and was saying
“have pee” and “want some more” by twenty
months, when she was fully potty trained. She
has always slept through the night. Many people
tell us that we “make it look easy.” It is a lot
of work to raise and prepare all of the family’s
meals, but Ava is already a big help with the
chores. She loves helping and loves animals!
