I've been dying to share B's one year pictures with you but wanted to wait till her birthday invites went out. Well, they're out and here are some of my favorites by my BFF Carrie below...

Believe it or not these are not all the pictures we took! I'll be posting the rest soon but in the meantime I'm still getting ready for the party of the century. Joking. Kind of.

This is all I got today. Enjoy :)

I was going to be lazy and not blog (today is totally a holiday!) but I had a little extra time and figured I should get serious. :) We had such a fun, long weekend at the beach in San Diego. My whole family was there and we all stayed in a house that my parents rented. It was right on the beach and I loved watching all the people go by on the boardwalk.

Health

I am thrilled to report that Blair is totally clear of her pneumonia. She is back to gettin down with her bad self and playin with all her toys.

Sleep

Since being sick she's been throwing me a slight curveball. Every once in a while she will wake up around 10 or 11 pm and matt will go in to soothe her. Sometimes she goes back down but other times she won't until she nurses. She's also trying to drop her last afternoon nap which is fine but means she cannot stay up till seven. So on days when she refuses to take her afternoon nap she goes to bed around six, and when she does nap she goes to bed at seven. So many options. :) I'm thinking she will eventually be going to bed more often at six which initially made me worry that she would be up earlier but this doesn't seem to be the case. Sigh. Babies sleep patterns are always changing and this drives me batty!

Diet

Back to her old habits of eating everything in sight. Just like her mama :). This weekend she may have tried a French fry and a bite of ice cream. Both went down like water. This will not be a recurring thing... Also still nursing like a champ every three to four hours. She is showing no signs of weaning. PS how do I do that?!

Crying

Sometimes around 10-11 pm for no reason. Sigh. Now that we're home from vacation we can let her cry it out more.

Social

We're getting back on the social wagon now that she is feeling better and I'm less worried that her immune system is down. We went to music class last Monday and that made her pretty happy. Still waiting to send her to the nursery at bible study just to be safe. She was very social with her auntie and uncles this weekend. Lots of playing and a few melt downs ;).

Milestones

 

I feel like she is really growing up so quickly this last month. B is really getting the hang of crawling although still not giving me a huge run for my money with this (yet). She is developing a sense of humor and thinks we are pretty funny people! It's so sweet to hear her laugh all the time. She's starting to understand how some of her toys work better. It's cute to watch her brain figure things out. Oh and she loves her big girl bath!

Post partum

Gotta figure out the whole weaning process. To be honest I'm not in that much of a hurry because I like the bonding and I also the calorie burning. It will be a sad sad day when I can't eat whatever I want. :(

I actually got to see three different friends of mine who all live in the San Diego area this weekend. Good times. :)

Happy Valentine's Day! Too bad there was nothing happy about taking the photos below. Gah it was actually pretty frustrating. M and I were racing against the clock of a tired baby and the sun going down. I had no "vision" for what I wanted (and apparently am no good at leaving a pretty lipstick kiss) but we did end up with some pretty cute shots. :)

M booked a massage for me this morning (!!!!) and tonight we are heading out to dinner just the two of us. :)

*B's infinity scarf from bundle up buddy shop at etsy.com. <3 br="">

I got the Land of Nod catalog in the mail recently and I have to say that they nailed it! SO many adorable things for a nursery or kids bedroom (shoot, even mine!). I jumped on their offer of free shipping last week and got some adorable throw pillows. Here is what I'm loving...

anything with a bow is so feminine!

so pretty for anyone's bedroom

gold or silver dot decals... you could do any pattern you choose! i die!

super reasonable price for a pouf seat

had this been around when I was decorating B's nursery I'm sure I would have snagged it. Totally reasonable price. Serena and Lily sells one for like 3 times the price!

rug detail (however I'm sure this isn't so easy to vacuum or remove dog hair from) :(

got this for B's room. love.

this is supposed to be for a little boys room but i thought it looked like a Christmas sweater. already thinking about next year's Christmas decorations. :)

same here...adorable and half off!

could. not. resist. i think sequins have super powers over me. and it's ombre. so much good in one pillow.

 I was also coveting swooning over some pretty items in the west elm catalog. I wish I needed all these things. Or had a spot for them. Or that they matched my decor. Any of the above excuses would work.

floor seating

so fun!

for a grown up girl's room

 Instead of the pillow I just bought, remember?

you know how i feel about sequins

this is fun too

Which pillow do you like for my living room? Do you like them more than the one I have? Worth swapping it out? I'm considering... now who wants to buy my old pillow? ;)
