I Won!

Ack!! I am so excited! I just found out I won a contest on one of my all time favorite blogs- Enjoying the Small Things.

I won a gift certificate to Bambaroos, an adorable Etsy shop with the cutest little headbands for Evie!!! I've been wanting to find her some of these headbands, and have even contemplated making some! Check out the adorable-ness:

Thank you so much to Kelle at Enjoying the Small Things! If you haven't checked our her blog, you totally should. She's a great writer and takes amazing pictures. I got hooked when I read her story in Parents magazine while pregnant.. when her second daughter, Nella, was born, it was discovered that she had Down Syndrome. Kelle shares her story beautifully, and with such honesty. And they just celebrated little Nella's first birthday!

Anyway, what a great little Monday surprise!

Tiny Dancer {Two Months}

My little tiny girl is two months old!!

8 Weeks 5 Days

She's changed sooo much in the past month!

I feel like she's a completely different baby than when we brought her home..

And this munchkin has been keeping us on our toes lately.. in the form of...

COLIC.

Yeck. But that's another story for another day.

Besides, how can I complain when this little 2 month old face is smiling back at me???

Pretty pretty baby

Snuggle Bear

We've had some relatively nice weather this week, so Evie and I have been trying to get outside for some fresh air and exercise. Since she's finally big enough, I broke out the Baby Bjorn and we bundled up to take a long walk.

A view from the top.

This face cracks me up.

I know these pictures aren't the best, or even in focus, but I just thought they were hilarious and too cute!

We got two of these cute little bear suits from Old Navy on clearance at the end of the year, and Evie is just adorable in them!

Weekend Fun

Evie had a big weekend! On Friday we got dressed up for a little trip to the mall.

And no mall trip would be complete without some ruffles and knit booties...

Then on Saturday, my mom (otherwise known as Grandy) came into town for a visit!

Uncooperative photography subject.

As you can see.. I don't look too much like my mom.. and now my daughter looks nothing like me! Some sort of full circle crap. :)

Actually, I do look like my mom in my features and mannerisms- just not my complexion or at first glance! So maybe Evie will look a little more like me as

she grows..

We had a great visit, complete with bath time.

My mom is planning to start coming down to visit every month, which I love, since I want Evie to know and be close to her. (Hint, hint to my other parents!! You should come down, too!!) I love that my mother-in-law lives here and can help out with Evie, but it makes me sad that she won't get to see my parents as often.

My sweet little girl will be 8 Weeks tomorrow!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Luckily, I've already received the best birthday gift in the world!!

Looking forward to a great day with my girl and a loooong overdue pedicure! :)
