8 months!

Oh my word, it's so hard to believe that today my sweet baby is 8 months old! It's totally bittersweet.
She is such a sweet baby.
At 8 months:
-she wears 9-12 month clothes
-she wears size 3 diapers
-wears size 2 shoes
-Has 3 teeth w/ the 4th coming
-LOVES remote controls lol
-Her favorite spot is in mommy's arms
-Her 2nd favorite spot is her high chair
-Her face lights up when sissy is around
-She has yet to sleep through the night, but I've been encouraged by sweet friends that it's normal, most of their kids didn't sleep through the night until they turned 1.

She has been a true joy to our family. It's been amazing to watch her grow and I still have days that I can't believe I've been blessed with this sweet baby girl.

Monday Etsy Finds

I went on an etsy search for some sort of iphone toy for an upcoming baby shower gift. I came across this shop and this adorable onesie. It's $15 plus shipping.


Is this not the cutest!? Perfect for that baby whose parents love apple :)
You can find it and more cute things at SugarBabyLove!

waiting for her mani/pedi to dry :)

new toy

I think I'd posted on here before that almost 4 years ago hubby bought me a sewing machine. He bought it as a surprise, didn't know anything about brands, so I ended up with a brother. It was a good first machine, simple and easy to use. But it quickly started giving me problems. Sewing became a nightmare and I avoided the machine. My sewing buddies kept insisting I get a new one.
SO this year hubby told me I could choose a new machine. It took a LONG time, many fb surveys, many review searches, but I finally got one! I went with singer and I LOVE it!!! Now I haven't done any projects with it, but I have sewn for practice. :)
Sewing with a singer is SO different than a brother. I compare it to buttering toast w/ frozen butter (the brother) and soft butter (the singer). haahaha

The singer has top loading bobbin which is FABULOUS! and automatic needle threader. It is AMAZING!!!!!

Once we're done w/ spring cleaning, I'll be sewing like crazy! :)

teething

Baby sister has been teething like crazy. Her first tooth came about a week after she turned 6 months. It meant several AWFUL nights of sleep. Then came the 2nd tooth, both in the bottom... Last weekend, she was up literally ALL night, it was awful, she couldn't sleep and was in so much pain... Sunday her first top tooth broke through. Can you see those? lol
Her 2nd top one looks like it'll come out soon!

And I just wanted to share a picture of big sis ;) Isn't she so pretty? She is definitely a handful! We love her personality and are trying to work with it.. lol

I love this picture! :)

Unique

7 1/2 months ago, this little beauty was born. She changed my world forever and I just love her to pieces. When she came out (I had a c-sec) I couldn't immediately see her, so once my doctor said "she's out" my first question was, "does she have hair?" He said "a head full of black hair". I was so excited b/c my first daughter was so bald. lol So she was finally placed in my arms and I was in love.

They of course took her to the nursery and then I had to get stitched up and placed in recovery for an hour. Then I was taken to my room. They brought baby sis to me and I finally got to just hold her and stare at her. I LOVED her black hair and then I noticed, the thing that makes her unique. On her left side, she has blonde sideburns. It is SO cute, and I just love it! I then just stared at that blonde little patch and looked at her eyes. Her left eyebrow and eyelashes are also blonde. When she was a newborn, it looked like she didn't have any hair on that side. lol Now it's more noticeable, but the blonde is still totally there. I LOVE it and love how unique it makes her. I've had several family members point out that she'll hate it when she's older and blah blah... My answer is "this is how God made her and I absolutely LOVE it" :) I hope she loves it too. Now I will say that it does make for some interesting close up shots. ;) But she's still my little beauty! Her auntie says she's like Rogue (from x men).

Can you see it? ;)
