She's Ready To Pop


I love throwing showers and planning parties for friends and family members! This weekend I was able to throw a baby shower for my friend Kayla, with the help of my sister-in-law Natalie! It was a lot of fun and turned out really cute! I got the idea from my sister's baby shower that was thrown by one of her friends. I love how it turned out! A lot of people showed up and showered Kayla with tons of fun things for her baby girl! The theme of the shower was "She's Ready To Pop".




The shower was complete with Pop art...


The treats included Cake Pops...

Poppyseed muffins...

White Chocolate Popcorn, Butter Popcorn and Caramel Popcorn...


And Soda Pop...


We also played some fun games like guessing the size of Kayla's belly...


And of course, Kayla got a lot of fun gifts...

It was a great time!

6 months!



Today is our sweet baby McKinley's half birthday! I can't believe how big she's getting! She's sitting up all by herself now for 5 to 10 minutes at a time! She rolls over like crazy! We'll lay her in her crib and never know how we'll find her in the morning! A lot of mornings we'll take her out of her sleep sack and discover somehow she has kicked out of her jammies and unbuttoned them all the way up to her belly! No idea how, but she is a strong girl and when she wants to do something, she usually finds a way to do it! She's sleeping really well! She now falls asleep on her own at night, wakes up once usually around 4am and I feed her, then goes back to sleep until 7am! It's SO nice to get a full nights rest again! I've forgotten what it feels like, and I'm almost able to sleep through the night myself again :) She's also falling asleep on her own for naps, which is a relief for me and gives me more down time! It's so nice to have a little more "me" time with McKinley sleeping so well! We go to her 6 month check up in a week, so after that I'll post about her 6 month stats then! We love our little girl more than we ever thought we could!!
