So I was cleaning out the baby's closet...

getting rid of the clothes that no longer fit (that's always really difficult for me to do!) and I realized that about half of her clothes that fit now are handmade by me. I hung up the handmade ones and took a picture:

How cool is that?

Shirred Dress

This week when I took Ellie to the doctor for her two month check up, the doctor told me that "she is the tallest girl in the class." It's true! She is in that in-between stage of her clothes (you know that annoying nothing fits right stage...mommy is going through it too!) So off we went, looking for some clothes in the next size up.  It sure seems like everything looks the same after shopping all day!

I whipped up this dress in about an hour-give or take with feeding a baby girl who didnt care about her new dress. I shirred the top (from two rectangles) and then made straps and hemmed. Super easy and the best part is, the fabric was a remnant at the store, so it only cost me a few dollars (with the elastic)! I made it on the larger side so that she can grow into it...I guess she's still got an outfit thats "in between".

Ellie's New Toy

Ellie was really excited today when she found a new toy out in the mailbox. We came right in and checked it out.

Its a Tiny Love brand activity mat (I think Tiny Love makes some fun toys) and she really enjoyed her tummy time on it today! 

The pillow that she lays on is a lot bigger than the one we used for the boys so it seems a lot more comfortable for her.

and she recently has discovered that one of her favorite pasttimes is looking at herself in the mirror, so its nice that this mirror can be placed wherever baby prefers to look. 

As she gets bigger, I know the toys will be a bit more intriguing, but she already likes the crinkly noises that it makes. For now, its just great to help her neck muscles get stronger :)
