Happy Friday! How’s it going?
First off I have to welcome two new babies into the world! My cousin Vanessa (I went to her baby shower a few weeks ago) had her baby Autumn earlier this week. And early this morning Ben’s sister had her baby Eloise!
I am happy to report both baby girls are healthy and have better manners than this kid…
To celebrate the arrival of these two new babies, monthly baby boxes can be a great gift idea for new parents. With a monthly baby box subscription, new parents can receive a regular supply of age-appropriate toys, books, and other baby products right to their door. For your babies, you can check out great Kids songs from YouTube, which can be a fun addition to their routine. This can be especially helpful for busy parents who may not have the time to shop for baby products in-store. Additionally, with a variety of subscription options available, parents can select the box that best meets their baby’s needs and stage of development. Monthly baby boxes can be a thoughtful and practical gift for new parents, helping to make the transition into parenthood a little bit easier.
I can only hope to one day have a baby as boss as this little one…

Yesterday a reader emailed me asking where I got the red dress I wore in Vegas. She is graduating college soon and would love to wear something similar to this:
Unfortunately, I got it a few years back. I think it was from Nordstrom, but I could be way way off and really have snagged it from a garage sale for 50 cents. The tag says S K Y by David Park.
*Excessive amounts of makeup and bearded guy sold separately.
Can anyone point us to a similar dress in the comments?

Wow! you are truly stunning lady in red.
Simply sexy you!

My younger brother was awesome enough to get married and have babies first. That took all the pressure off me! 🙂
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
Babies are the best!
Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life says
Congrats on the new babies in the family! Such a cutie pie!

I bought identical dress last year at Venus.com. It’s usually swimwear but they have sexy little dresses like that too!
Deva @ Deva by Definition says
Such an adorable baby – and great dress! My bridesmaids’ dresses are a similar color!
Serena says
I love love love babies! Thanks for sharing. Watermelon kid is hilarious.
Kim @ HealthyNest says
Uh ohh, watch out for baby fever symptoms! Unrelated question…did you get into the Nike Women’s Half??
Heather says
It’s totally baby-season!! I’ve had 3 friends within the last couple weeks have babies, and I’ve got 2 friends who are still preggers! Something’s in the water, I swear…
Hope you have a great weekend!

Cute dress! Not sure if she liked the spaghetti strap style or just the color but here is a similar option:

I also like shopping on lastcall.com (Neiman Marcus) or bluefly for dresses 🙂

Haley @ Health Freak College Girl says

Jenn @ Run It My Way says
Congrats on the new additions to your family!!
I’m glad someone asked about the dress, it’s so pretty. Simple and elegant! Sad face that it’s not still in store it’s a classic!!

Re: the red dress – Dayum.
Hallie says
I had that same dress years back. Def from Nordstrom’s. I think I left it in Mexico because that’s the last time I remember having it.
runeatrepeat says
You lost your dress in Mexico? Sounds like a good time.
Amber K says
Awww such cute baby girls!
Mary R. says
Awww, congrats on all the little new additions to your family! I love that video and the watermelon pic. Do you do crazy eyes like that when you eat watermelon too?
Btw, you look gorgeous in that red dress. All curves and sexpot!
Christina Marie says
You look very Jessica Rabbit in that dress! Vavavavoom 🙂
Yay for other people’s babies!
SaraB says
I totally thought Jessica Rabbit as well! Well Helllllll-oooohhhh there hottie!
Congrats on the new additions, love the name Eloise!
Lauren says
Wow, congrats! Two babies in one week!
My sister has 3, soon to be 4 kids, and my mom brings the kids up with a “so….babies” question every few months. Gotta love moms.
I had a red dress from JCP that I loved…til my cat climbed it.
Chels R. says
Love watermelon too! That dress is hot on you!
Megan @ Run Like a Grl says
Congrats on all the happy baby news! Funny about the watermelons because I was talking to the kid I babysit for and hes growing watermelons in his backyard. We had a long conversation about growing them and how much he loves them. Perfect!
I think Nordstrom sells that brand. And sometimes you can get lucky on ebay.

Congratulations, Auntie Monica! I’m sure you will inspire her as much you inspire all of your blog readers (me included.)
Amy says
I don’t know too much about having babies, but 2 hours of labor? I’m pretty sure she lucked out big time! And I LOVE the name Eloise. Congratulations to all!
Deirdre @ Oh Well Whatever says
So cute, how fun for your family! Um but I can’t get past the part of the text that says “2 hrs of labor” sounds much better than my 26 hrs followed by c-section. Fun times.
Megan @ Run Like a Grl says
I think thats one of the reasons I’m scared to have a baby! I can definitely NOT handle 26 hours of labor. I’m just not made for that.
s. says
um … same here. but i’m convinced that since i have a boyfriend and there’s a nontrivial chance we’ll get married at some point that i’ll have to have them anyways.
runeatrepeat says
This is her 3rd, the first two weren’t so fast (and I heard some horror stories).
Christine@ BookishlyB says
Cue the “it’s your turn, Monica” bombardment from family 😉
Can you believe I’m allergic to watermelon (and all other melons)? So lame.
