SIX months, you guys!!  SIX.  I go between feeling like it was just yesterday that I was sitting anxiously awaiting the fancy test results from the OB to tell me I was going to be a mama and feeling like she has pretty much been here my whole life.  I honestly cannot picture life without her in it, but time is moving way too fast!  She’s basically a toddler now.  I walked in the other day when she was supposed to be napping and she was sitting up playing.  What?  THEN, I walked in this weekend while she was napping and she was STANDING.  She bathes in a bucket now because her old tub is now a small joke.  Literally.  My guess is she weighs about 20 pounds and she wears around 9-12 month clothes, which is ridiculous.  I am hesitant to pack anything away in the 6-9 month range because I have a feeling that once she starts crawling which is any day now, she may thin out a bit.  She has tried carrots, corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and green peas.  We stopped the rice cereal and switched to oatmeal because I think it was irritating her a bit.  She has slept better through the night since.  She sleeps from about 7-4 am and then eats and goes back to bed till about 6 or 7.  She takes a 2 hour nap in the morning and then a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.  We were trying to be more thoughtful about her awake time and putting her down no more than two hours after she awakes, but it turns out it was probably more the rice cereal than over tiredness.  We have to fight her less with just the two naps, so for now that’s what we are doing.  She literally changes every single day which keeps us on our toes!

In case you would like to look at how far we have come:  here are the previous months!
One Month
Two Months
Three Months
Four Months
Five Months

SO now for the fun part!  Freshly Picked has offered to give one of you lucky ducks a pair of their highly acclaimed soft sole moccasins!  YOU GUYS.  These are the BEST shoes out there.  I have bought so many shoes and socks in the last year in the hopes that she would don them with style and grace.  But then I actually had the baby and tried to put them on her.  Off in seconds.  Seconds.  Plus they mostly just fall off when she wiggles in her car seat.  These moccasins stay on no matter what comes at them.  They can be a little tricky to put on until you get the hang of it, but what that means is that they are next to impossible for baby to pull off.  There is an elastic band that keeps them secure on their feet which is just amazing (hidden inside the soft leather so it does not irritate baby).  They are also real leather which, here comes the best part, once they start walking and crawling, their footprint becomes a part of the sole.  Swoon.  So, I got them in a size 2 for now and then I purchased the size 3 for when she starts walking.  I can’t wait to show her her little footprint someday on these sweet shoes.

Requirements for entry:  Winner cannot have won another Freshly Picked giveaway in the last 60 days, must be following Freshly Picked on Instagram (if you do not have Instagram, you may follow them on Facebook, just enter in the rafflecopter that you are following and put your Facebook name and then let me know in the comments), and  must be 18 years or older!  You may enter internationally, but you will have to pay to ship them outside of the U.S.

Enter Below!

Good luck babes!  Have a great day!

Summer has finally arrived!  This winter babe was ready to soak up that vitamin D!


E and I celebrated our first Mother’s Day (well, with her on the outside) and while she didn’t give me a whole lot of sleep, she did give me lots of smiles AND a spa gift certificate.  Girl knows her Mama!


E LOVES her high chair!  She has learned to mostly keep her toys on there, but when she wants to make a game of it, or get my attention, the toys go flying!


Y’all I have been waiting to put this sweater on this baby for far too long.  I bought it way before we knew about E and I gave it to Matt as an extra birthday gift to tell him E was on the way.  There were definitely squeals when I put this on her for the first time!  She went with our school to the zoo.  This shot was of her looking at all the students looking at her like she was one of the zoo animals.  She ate it up all day long.


I took this selfie after we saw the baby polar bear, Nora, for the first time!  She doesn’t look it here, but she loved it, I know she did.


I got exactly one hour to myself and what did I do?  Went and stocked up on baby accessories of course!


Contrary to this photo, she does not in fact like these glasses, so this was really the only photo I got that she wasn’t trying to rip them off and play with them!


We have been squeezing in lots of family time and little miss E is loving it!


…and just like that…it’s JUNE!  I honestly cannot believe it!  I decided that this month, I need to focus on myself a little, treat myself to a little pampering; cash in that spa gift card, but first I obviously had to splurge on these cute moccasins for E’s first birthday.


Just yesterday E starting doing this weird gasping/coughing thing that she immediately noticed got our attention REAL fast so now she does it all the time…IS THIS NORMAL?!  Gah, babies are weird, but golly they are the cutest!

What all have you guys been up to?!  Hopefully soaking up these sunny days!

Five Months!

My sweet baby girl is 5 months old.  FIVE.  She changes so much everyday, but she still also kinda stays our same sweet Eleanor.  She now rolls all over the place, scoots, can mostly sit on her own, and eats rice cereal with a spoon!  We are also in the throes of teething.  She goes down a little less easily than her 2-4 month self, but she still sleeps a lot, just wakes up every hour. 😂.  Yesterday, we went to the zoo and she got to meet the new baby polar bear, Nora!  We got her a little memento and I could cry…she loves it.  Best $5 I ever spent (which I realize makes me my mother, officially.)  We love you, Eleanor!

Have a great weekend!

Erin

Why, hello friends!!  Happy Friday!!  Things are busy busy around here.  This week baby girl and I were alone for a few days while papa was on a business trip.  Let me just tell you, E and I had the best time.  I was prepared for chaos, but she was so calm and happy.  BUT I am still so tired and ready for the weekend!  Matt does a lot around here and we sure miss him!

Recently, we also took a trip for E to meet her Great Grandma White, gone hiking, Eleanor has busted out of all of her clothes, had a fourth month well visit, cried with another new momma in the bathroom because we missed our babies, started rice cereal, taken lots of naps, and eaten more than our fair share of pizza.

…and we have a winner of the Meijer Spring Beauty Event + Giveaway!…Nataly C.!  Be on the lookout for an email from us later today!!  Thank you to all who entered!

Hope you all have an excellent weekend!
Erin
