Good morning, friends!  Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend!  We spent the weekend celebrating our sweet pea and her special day at church!  Here are some snaps from the day!  We attended mass and then had a private ceremony shortly after.  She was an absolute angel at church!  I was super pumped that the baptism would be slightly before her normal nap time, but church and all the snuggles wore her out JUST in time for the ceremony.  Let’s just say the bonnet put her over the edge.  So she is screaming in almost every single picture of the baptism so we waited until after her 2.5 hour nap to take some more pictures!  The whole day was so beautiful and we are so so thankful for all the family that drove many miles to be here for her special day!

We love you so much, E!

Bear with me on this post, friends, it has been an exciting month!  We love summer!

IMG_9282
Makeshift pools and cute suits are almost a daily staple around here!

IMG_9336
Lunch with eight of her friends that are under the age of four and nine adults.  It was a sight.

IMG_9380
A crop top on a baby.  Who would have thought it would be so cute!?!

IMG_9403
E visited her friend Nora at the zoo!

IMG_9445
As much as I love my mornings with my eighth graders, this is my happy place.

IMG_9570
Stopped by Columbus Commons for some Jeni’s!  The food truck court is open 11-2 every Thursday until October!

IMG_9583
I mean…

IMG_9626
Celebrated papa!  We sure love him!

IMG_9666
Started reading The Nightingale.  SO GOOD!

IMG_9804
I love having E be big enough to sit up front now.  REALLY frees up a lot of space in the cart.  Plus, now I have a people watching buddy!

IMG_9838
Y’all.  If you are local, you MUST try Pistacia Vera.  Must.

IMG_9849
I look a hot mess because I just generally am and when a stranger takes your photo you only get one shot.  But, I had to share.  It’s baby girl’s first baseball game and we take our baseball games very seriously!  And by seriously I mean we mostly just love to eat and drink outdoors.

IMG_9889
Oh, the high chair.  What was once a fun place to be because she could sit up, has now become a cage.  Feed me, then get me outta here!  We have also started trying sippy cups and E loves them!

IMG_9917
We have a fairly graceful crawler!  She gets where she needs to be!

IMG_9943
While we were out running errands, E fell asleep in her Solly wrap which has become rare because she just wants to watch everything.  It warmed my mama heart!

IMG_9979
Yesterday, Eleanor had her six month well visit and she did so great!  She is about 20 pounds which puts her in the 94th percentile, 55th for height.  We love our pediatrician if anyone local ever needs a great one!

The last month has gone by so quickly!  I feel so very thankful for my summer with Eleanor.

And now…the moment you’ve all been waiting for…the winner of the Freshly Picked Giveaway is…ANNA P.!  Congrats!!  Be on the lookout for an email from me later today!  Thank you to all who entered!!

I hope you all have a great day!
Erin

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!

*I was sent a pair of moccasins for review, but as always, opinions are my own

Good morning, friends!! Today, I am so excited to share with you a shop that is based here in Columbus, The Jones Market!  I have admired this shop’s aesthetic and cheery posts over on Instagram for years.  Her pieces are designed with mamas and babies in mind, but are truly beautiful pieces for anyone!  Candis, founder and owner, spent years researching and designing the perfect pieces to allow babies to tug and bite away while still maintaining the look of the piece.  She began by designing for her friends and word of mouth in 2011 and quickly realized how  many mamas wanted something that was not only stylish, but also functional.

When this beauty arrived, I could hardly get it out of the package before E had it in her mouth.  The bright color immediately caught her eye and she had to have it.  Normally, when I am wearing a necklace I have to fight it away from her because she always wants to put it in her mouth, but this non-toxic gem is perfect for her constant teething needs!  It also kept her occupied so that I could carry her in my Solly which has become a struggle with this on the go baby.  And you can adjust the length, so I lengthened it to distract my little wiggle worm during diaper changes and feedings.  Small miracles, people.

Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this shop!  In addition to the one I am wearing, I also love:

Petite Double Infinity in Lemon + Speckled Cream
Keychain Wristlet in Almond + B&W Stripe + Aqua Tassel
Petite Beaded Infinity Scarf in Dark Chocolate and Sailing Stripe
Petite Double Infinity in Almond + Black and White Stripe

These would make the perfect shower gift for mamas to be or to treat yourself to something pretty in the name of #summerofglam.  And bonus: Candis is offering 10% off today to celebrate the launch of her new summer line for the readers of this here blog with code: PARIS

Let me know what you snag–I am positive you will love it!
Have a happy day!
Erin

*I was sent this necklace to review, but all opinions, as always, are my own.

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!
Erin
