Onesie Cupcakes

Wanting to celebrate the birth of a very special baby girl, I was ready to test out a project I had seen on Pinterest.  Those who know me know that I am addicted.  My house is now full of crafty-ness.  It's true.  Back to the Onesies.

Baby P arrived & I was ready to give this Onesie Cupcake project a go.

Step 1
Go to the store and grab (4) Onesies and (4) matching/ish receiving blankets.



Step 2
Find a cute box or cupcake container; I scored mine at Dominick's in the bakery department.  It was a little more snug that I had hoped, but in the end, it worked just fine.  A box might be cuter.  Guess we'll have to wait for another birth before we try again!

Step 3
Now the fun begins.  Fold each receiving blanket into a 2-in strip.  Bunch up a corresponding Onesie in your hand and push your finger into it to puff it up.  Wrap the blanket around the blanket; holding it securely the entire time.  I then used a coffee filter as the base & wrapped a ribbon around the outside of each "cupcake."  A rubber band would also have sufficed.  Repeat this step 4 times (or however many cupcakes you intend to make & put into the box).


Step 4
I then jammed all 4 into the cupcake container & sealed it up. 

Cute right?!  It was fun to make and super easy; would be an adorable baby shower gift.  :)  I'm so glad Baby P is here, now I have someone to make all of my fun Pinterest projects for!  Hooray!

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?
