Perfectly Imperfect Mom: August 2014

Oh Miss Everly! You are 5 months old.

You are probably the most smiley baby I have ever seen. You have this big mouth and when you smile it is probably the most precious thing ever!

You are obsessed with Ashlyn. You start kicking your legs, smiling and making noises whenever you see her. You also love your brother but you definitely favor Ashlyn. You are a Mama's girl but give Daddy huge smiles.

You have gotten a lot better with being fussy and miserable when you eat. We had to change your formula again and you are now on Nutramigen. You are quite the expensive girl but whatever makes you happy and not miserable is what we will do!

You still don't sleep through the night, you are up 3 times but we lowered the ounces for each bottle so I am hoping we can slowly knock those bottles out. You were down to two but you went back up so we never know if we can officially cut any out. You had your first night in your crib and did really well. I think we can get rid of your Rock N' Play!

At your 4 month appointment you were 13.4 lbs and 25 inches. You wear 3-6 and 6 months clothes and are in size 2 diapers. You drink 4-5 ounce bottles about every 3 hours. You are close to sitting up and I swear you did two little scoots towards me in an army crawl but it didn't happen again so we will just wait on that milestone! You love to play in your jumperoo which is nice since you aren't the biggest fan of the bouncer. Your personality is very interesting. You are super sweet and smiley but then get pissed out of nowhere. Once you are done, you are done! You are very sensitive which is very similar to how I was as a baby (what my mom always told me) and I can see how you are a lot like me. It's funny how personalities are so obvious so young. I can see it with each of you and you definitely give us a run for our money! We love you and can't wait to see what next month brings!!

This past Sunday was my sister's baby shower. She had mentioned having a Paris theme to her daughter, Valentina's, nursery and I was so excited. It was the perfect theme for a baby shower as well! I, of course, eyed Pinterest for any and all Paris theme parties, showers and decor. I knew I wanted to make it a super girly shower because out of the two of us she has always been the griller one. She lives for pink! Just to give you an idea, this was her cake for her 30th birthday party.

So back to the shower. Here is my set up for when people walk in. I got the tutu from Zulily and the dress form and large Paris picture from Hobby Lobby. The little pink ballet shoes were a gift for my girls from my cousin and the Paris box is from Michael's. It matched the picture perfectly.

I had mine and Ashley's baby clothes lined up by the front door. I failed here because I didn't have enough clothes pins to hold them all so this was my sad little solution, ha!

The favors I forgot to set out, epic fail! I made chocolate covered oreos and saw them as I was putting things away in the fridge. Yeah, total waste of time but at least they were pretty!

Ashley's friend Alexis made this adorable diaper bouquet. This was the diaper raffle table. If you ever throw someone a shower always do a raffle. This helps them load up on diapers and it's an easy "game".

This was the food table. Alexis made the Valentina banner and set up the lanterns. The Paris canvas Branden and I found at Home Goods and the Eiffel tower is from Hobby Lobby. Pink Lanterns are from Party City. Food included croissants to make sandwiches (turkey, ham & cheese), fruit (grapes, blueberries, strawberries), crackers (I forgot to put the brie cheese out to go with it, aye!), waldorf salad, quiches, and I think that was everything.

Beautiful diaper cake was made by Alexis. This girl has major talent!

Another one of Alexis' creations.

I got this little Guess Valentina's Statistics poster at Party City. I wanted to make a cute little calendar and frame it but with me being in the hospital it was not happening. This was easier and it had a blank spot where we got to guess if Valentina will have back hair or not! Weird? You bet but it wouldn't be mine and Ashley's weird sense of humor if it wasn't up there.
