Fun Friday–Babies

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
27 Apr

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! IMG_0064 (800x533)

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…eating watermelon like a boss

(Thank you to everyone who has emailed / tweeted me this picture. You guys know me!)

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:IMG_7392 (800x600)

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. IMG_7380 (800x600)

Can anyone point us to a similar dress in the comments?

    My younger brother was awesome enough to get married and have babies first. That took all the pressure off me! 🙂

    I bought identical dress last year at Venus.com. It’s usually swimwear but they have sexy little dresses like that too!

    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 🙂

    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.

      You lost your dress in Mexico? Sounds like a good time.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

        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.

      This is her 3rd, the first two weren’t so fast (and I heard some horror stories).

    Cue the “it’s your turn, Monica” bombardment from family 😉

    Can you believe I’m allergic to watermelon (and all other melons)? So lame.
