Shopping Spree

Sunday I met Kristen & Sara at Easton to replace some of the mangled pieces from my  chap stick stained work wardrobe. We stopped for a few pics in front of the fountain. Thanks Aunt Sara!!!!

My new favorite place to shop for work clothes is NY& Co!!! They have GREAT coupons (hello $90 off $180).Also on the list of required browsing Francesca's LOVE & H&M!  Even better, their pants come in petite & are the PERFECT length (I'm 5'3), WITH NO HEMMING REQUIRED. Yahoo!!

5 Month Birthday

Not a lot has changed since I posted this after your last check up.  

Your dad went hog wild at Babies R Us & got you an awesome Baby Einstein ExerSaucer. You love to sit in it and try and eat the toys. We put a pillow under your feet so you can bounce. You haven't quite figured that part out yet.

The tongue out is a signature look for you. You love to smile & laugh, sticking it out.
When bottle fed you drink 4-4.5 ozs. I'm wondering if I will ever need to buy the bigger 9 oz bottles?
I wish I was a better photographer. You are TRUELY a BEAUTIFUL girl!!!

This picture is the face your dad gives me when he is done having his picture taken.  Sloth from the Goonies? The apple has not fallen far from the tree my love!

The Help

Off to see The Help with Sara. Hopefully it cheers me up. i washed my work clothes, the ONLY ones that fit me in my post-pregnancy not quite into my pre-pegnancy body, with a PINK CHAPSTICK.  I know from experience after those clothes hit the dryer I may as well throw them ALL away:(  I'm so upset..

Taken 9.5.2011

You are OFFICIALLY swaddle free. I thought the day would never come:)

With a cloth diaper on you can where 3-6 month clothes.

We moved you from the bassinet in our bedroom to your crib!!!

You can seriously ROCK the skinny jeans!!

Around 4 months you had a horrible  sleep regression. You used to sleep 5-7 hours straight almost every night. Between no more swaddle & being in your own room (plus I think a massive growth spurt) you have NOT been sleeping well. Sometimes up every 3 hours.  Just when I thought I was going to go crazy you slept through the nite 3xs in a week.WOOT WOOT!!!
