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. 

see more of there cute headbands here. 

mornings.

the mornings with Little S are our favorite. she wakes up bright eyed and ready to eat. i never realized that i would be so excited to wake up each morning. this morning we woke up and just laid in bed, and looked at our sweet girl. could she be any more perfect? she just has the sweetest little face and features. we are so in love. 

as you can see she has found her feet, and her toes are her favorite chew toy as well as her fingers. she's not a thumb sucker yet. she prefers all of them, not just one, haha. with that flexibility it looks like we have a future dancer or cheerleader on our hands.
