We have had a couple of nice days here and you better believe we busted out Eleanor’s sunglasses and stroller and hit the town!

 
Eleanor and I had our first playdate and let’s just say the bow was the only survivor.  First public blowout.  Check.


Mama got birth announcements out.  Feel very proud of myself.  Only took two months!

It rained one day.  Soooooo I had to put her in the raincoat I bought a year ago that is 4 times too big.  Had to.


Last Friday was quite somber at our house, knowing it was our last official day together.  We decided to forgo the crib nap and nap with mommy instead.

 
On Sunday, daddy thought it might be a good idea for baby girl and me to have a girly day together shopping.  I came home with so many bags of baby clothes and the hubby said NOTHING.  I guess he knew better.


This week has gone better than expected, leaving her in the mornings is hard, but I know she is in great hands.  Plus, it helped that Matt’s mom came to stay a couple of days so I could run home and give lots of kisses!  Our reunion each night is the highlight of my day!

What all have you been up to? Hope some sun is headed your way next week.  This snow has got to go!
Happy Friday!

Hi, friends!! I wanted to pop in and share my favorite place to shop these days!  I LOVE H&M for baby clothes.  They are affordable and so so adorable!  Let’s just say Eleanor’s closet is getting a little out of hand.  Luckily, we have an H&M where we are so E and I went and did a wee bit of damage there this weekend.  They have so many cute goodies for girls AND boys this season!

Where are your favorite places to shop??  Please share because all I do lately is change diapers and shop for adorable baby clothes.  It’s the best. 🙂

Happy Thursday!

Two Months!

Happy happy Monday, friends!  Yesterday, Eleanor turned two months old and today she is 9 weeks!    She loves sleeping and taking baths (she even plays a little–she kicks her foot out of the tub and daddy playfully pushes it back in; repeat for ten minutes).  She loves to go out to eat with us and we do try to get out of the house when we can–the cabin fever struggle is real!  She hates to be cold and has definitely developed a very cute fake cry which she has figured out gets our attention because it is so darn sweet (and slightly manipulative). I really can’t believe how fast time is moving.  Seems like we just brought her home from the hospital and now I only have one week left of maternity leave with her.  I know it’s time for me to get back, but I am sure going to miss my days with her.  Everyday is a new adventure with her and we cannot wait for all that is ahead!  We love you so much, Eleanor!

Hope you all have a great start to the week!

Eleanor is getting more and more curious about the world around her.  It is so fun to watch!


Our little Valentine needed a little  spoiling this holiday!  We gave her this book, these leggings, this giraffe, and a lovely tee from Jean and June!


I hope hope hope her eyes stay this blue.  Alas, genetics will probably turn them green/brown.  Also:  this was her third Valentine’s day outfit due to a series of lovely blowouts.


You guys.  I printed pictures.  Like, actually, physically printed them.  500 of them.  My mom was the best about taking and printing pictures when we were kids and it is so so fun looking through all of them.  I resolve to be better!


Reading to E is just about my favorite thing to do.  Books with lots of colors and almost no words are her favorite.  We love this book!


Today was E’s two month appointment.  I was absolutely dreading it.  Not only does it mean she is getting big, but it was the SHOTS appointment.  I brought all of her favorite things and I skipped the mascara!


Turns out the appointment was harder for me.  She let out a little cry, but they are fast and before we knew it, it was over.  Now let the extra cuddles commence!

Next week she officially turns two months!  Back to the dreaded yellow chair we go!  She will definitely thank me one day.  I am sure of it.

Have a great weekend, friends!

We officially brought our sweet pea home December 22nd!  It was a surreal experience walking her through our door and showing her her new home!
(Home Onesie, Bear Slippers-Gap old, may be able to find on clearance in-store?, Swaddle Blanket-JCrew old)

  We had two doctor’s appointments for her in the first week and we were late for both, but she did great!  Back to birth weight within a week!
(Booties-$5 and free shipping!, Car Seat, Diaper Bag)

Santa was good to this mama. This year–he knew just what I needed to feel like a human again!
(Sugar Lip Treatment, NARS Eye Makeup Remover, Bare Minerals Foundation, Sephora Sleeping Mask, Gingham Pouch)

 It was a Happy New Year indeed.  2015 was so so good to us, but we can’t wait for all the fun in 2016!
(Headband, Onesie-JCrew Old)

 We are finally getting some snow and some colder temps!  Our weekends have mostly consisted of laying around in our pjs, making a big pot of soup, and bottomless cups of coffee.

 Her feet absolutely kill me.
(Onesie and Leggings-Target, Rockaroo Infant Seat)

 Eleanor is still not so sure about bathtime.  She sure loves to cuddle after though!
(Babyganics Shampoo + Body Wash, Changing Mat, Duck Bath Towel)

  We have had so many wonderful visitors over the last month.  This nursing scarf allows Eleanor and me to actually be with everyone and not holed up in a room!  For 15% off your purchase use code PLANNINGPARIS15!  I love all of their patterns!

 I was able to get out of the house this weekend and all I wanted to do was go look for clothes for baby girl!  Paying full price for baby stuff is just not really my style unless it is something I HAVE to have.  I decided to stop in Once Upon A Child and most of the items were barely touched!  Some of the items I found still had tags!  This is my new spot, I tell you!

So that’s our last month in a nutshell!  It has been such an incredible (and fast) month since our little one entered this world!  We can’t thank you enough for all of the love and support!

Hope you all have a great start to the week!
