warm piggies

I love these booties (size options go up to 2½ yrs.) from Stonz.

I only wish they came in a ladies size 8.

cutest way to burp

Almost five years ago, my sister introduced me to MoonbeamBaby.com when she sent several burp cloths for our soon-to-be-born little guy, Baby Aidan. They were one of our favorite gifts, and held up like a champ for over a year to all the abuse heaped on them by a very colicky and spit-up-prone little guy. And despite the months of abuse, his precious burp cloths remained just that -- precious.

"Baby" Aidan will be five in December, and now Baby Paige is about a month away from making her debut into our family. And once again, our Moonbeam Baby burp cloths are ready and waiting for all the "action" that's sure to accompany our newest addition once she arrives.

Over the years, Moonbeam has expanded their inventory to include an assortment of baby goodies (towels, bibs, blankets, clothes, backpacks) beyond burp cloths. But my favorites are still the most adorable burp cloths in the world -- they're soft (and get softer each time you wash them), pretty, bright, and so well-made. Over the years, I've ordered and sent them to so many expectant mamas near and dear to my heart. And they arrive in a pretty package with a pretty tulle bow, neatly folded and perfect.

However, this time around, I'm oh-so-happy to once again have my own, brand new, Moonbeam Baby burp cloths waiting for my little one.

She'll be spittin' up in style, for sure. :)

slippers for a princess

My sister sent us a beautiful pair of ballet slipper booties for our baby girl, and I fell in love with them. So much so that I had to visit the Etsy store (TillyWhistle) and do some poking around of my own.

Of course I couldn't resist buying another pair -- this time, Mary Janes. They're precious and perfectly adorable, and I can't wait to see them on her tiny little feet.

class of 2033

My little girl is going to be representin' right from the start, thanks to her first Aggie gifts from Aunt B.

The only thing greater than maroon gear is maroon gear in a size newborn.

Whoop!

rockin' the youth vote

I don't think I've mentioned in my blog that we're expecting Bundle of Joy #2 in September.

I ran across these onesies today and got a total kick out of 'em . They probably wouldn't be as well-received in [our future home of] Boston as they would be in [our permanent home of] Texas, but I think most people with even a smidgen of a sense of humor would chuckle.
