Scarlett's Blessing- 3 months

Last month Daddy gave Scarlett a beautiful blessing. One that brought tears to Mommy's eyes.

We love this little girl so much ( all chubs and thunder thighs included).

She continues to be such a happy, easy going baby. She hardly ever cries.

She loves to suck her thumb and bat at things, smile, giggle, watch her sister play, and just recently she started grabbing toys and bringing them up to her mouth so she can suck on them.

My Mom and Dad were her for the special event. We had a wonderful weekend with them both here.It was hard to see my Mom go after 2 weeks. She helped me unpack and when she wasn't unpacking she was watching the girls so I could unpack and run errands. We miss you!

Magnolia Bakery- LA

On our way to LAX to fly to TX we stopped at this new bakery in LA. I'd never been to the one in New York ( I actually waited outside of the one in NYC in a line once, but ditched the line to go put my name in the raffle for the $25 Wicked Tickets and I'm glad I did because I won.) Sophia, being the cute, lovable girl she is walked into the bakery with my Mom and started watching them make the cupcakes. They then offered her a free one and took her photo. This all went on while I was changing Scarlett in the car (a blowout). When I got inside I found this happy little face eating her cupcake.





As you can see it's the cutest little bakery, I loved the decor



I couldn't leave without trying the famous Banana Pudding and it lived up to it's name- delish!

Also tried the Magic Cookie Bars- more yums.

Thanks Dad for fighting the traffic to drive us there :)

The Party

We celebrated with my family

The birthday girl requested flowers on her cake

(after seeing Doug and Ashley's wedding cake that's all she talked about)

She also wanted balloons, candy, and goodie bags

Some of her favorite gifts: a Cinderella Barbie Doll, Angelina Ballerina plush doll, and the gift she got when we got to Texas- a water table for the back patio.

Peepa made the girls matching rings out of some silver he had, they just loved them.





Funny thing about the tissue paper pom-poms- I sat down to practice making them one afternoon and my Mom said let me show you how we use to make these when I was a kid. She then proceeded to show me the exact way that Martha Stewart makes hers. My Mom has never read or seen a tutorial for Martha's. Apparently Martha has nothing on my Mom ;)

3 years

Sophia celebrated a birthday while we were in CA this last summer. Since she loves the beach so much I thought it would be the perfect place to capture some 3 year memories.
