jcrew baby.

jcrew baby was introduced last year. i immediately loved some of the onesies they offered, but other than that i was a little disappointed. i love crewcuts, and really was hoping they would make some of the same stuff just in mini size. they recently came out with some new onesies and and pajamas in crewcut patterns that i adore! here is a few of my favorites...

babe, puppy + cheerios.

after reading a blog post last night about taking the camera everywhere you go, i woke up feeling inspired and not wanting to miss a thing. baby girl is growing so rapidly, i cannot believe she is closer to 1 than an infant. i know i will blink my eyes and her first birthday will be here. (cue the tears) 

slow down clock, will ya? 

this morning my girl was in her highchair while i made myself breakfast, and i looked over and scarlett puppy was sitting right next to her on the floor. i couldn't tell if she just wanted to be close to her or if she was secretly hoping to score some delicious gluten-free banana cheerios.

either way, it was a little moment that made my heart swoon. these moments seem to happen pretty regularly these days, and i can't get enough. it's all about the little things. taking in the last few days of her two teeth smile, her tiny baby nose, the way her mouth curves when she says "dadada," and her little laugh that can literally make me melt. 

doing laundry.

Little S is going through a phase where she doesn't want to be put down. i'm not too upset about it though. i know one day i will wish i could still pick her up, or that she would still let me.

so this is how we do laundry these days. whatever works, right?

lips.

 february 12, 2013

little s has my lips. i love how they curl when she is "talking" to me. i want to remember everything about this first year. one thing i know i will never forget are those sweet little lips. 

she is getting so big so fast, and i don't know where the time is going. everyone tells you that, but you don't really comprehend it until you personally experience it for yourself. 

one thing is for sure, i am crazy about that little girl. 

winter water factory.

 lately, winter water factory kids clothes have been all the rage. i first heard about their clothes last spring on pinterest, and have been keeping my eyes open for new designs each season. are organic and are made here in the US. they have some of the cutest prints i have ever seen. i ordered SKB several things back in january and am dying to get her some cute things for spring. here are a few of my favorite things from their spring collection:

 

go see for yourself.

mesmerized.

i never knew that a child would be so mesmerized at such a young age by something. before having a child, husband and i would always look at other kids out in public watching tv on ipads and iphones and vowed that we would not be those parents. 

who was i to judge? 

when your baby is screaming and will stop in an instant if you put on mickey mouse clubhouse, how do you say no. as a first time parent and a stay at home mom, i was unaware of just how much time i would have to accomplish things. baby girl doesn't always nap + at times she wants to constantly be held. mickey mouse is my savior. i can put on a 20 minutes episode and make my breakfast or lunch, put a load a clothes in and maybe have time to make my bed. 

i'm not saying that when she gets older we will let our kids constantly have to be entertained by electronics, but for now, i will let her watch mickey for 20 minutes. 

hip headwear.

 

i just stumbled across the cutest jersey cotton headbands. have you heard of little hip squeaks? they sell hip and modern baby blankets, burp cloths, baby hats, bibs and other gifts made from organic fabric. i just order SKB some that were on sale on brickyard buffalo (another great site if you haven't heard of it) and can't wait to put them in her 1st easter basket.
