Crib Guardrail for a teether

So Lilly is clearly working on getting her teeth, although she is behind other babies her age, and I am not complaining.  I mean nursing and teeth means ouch, and I can wait.  Needless to say, she has started biting her crib when she is standing up, and before those little pearly whites come in and scratch our furniture, I decided to make a rail guard.  I used the bed skirt, because the crib is so low, there is no purpose for the skirt.  I took it apart, and made the railing for one side, and will be finishing the other soon.  I am using the other sides for a window valance. No more wasted bed skirt!  I think it turned out pretty cute.  I'm thinking something like this might be a good shower gift for other mommies to be.

Easter outfit

April is here!  What on earth? Where did the time go....

This coming Sunday is Easter, and I am so behind.  I would love to get Lilly an Easter basket, so hopefully I get that done this week.

I did at least make her dress forever ago, which was a blog I posted a while back and all I need to do is attach the straps.  The only thing is now that she is crawling up the wazzoooo, it is hard for her to wear dresses because she trips on the dress, so I made a little outfit that she can wear for the rest of the day.  Here is the onesie I made...yes I found the idea on pinterest.  I see pinterest as more of a bucket list of things I should try, so here it is. 

 

I hope you all enjoy your Easter!

Lilly and mommy, we don't look a thing alike

For my baby shower, my mom gave me a picture of myself when I was around 6 months old in a dress that she absolutely loved.  She also gave me the dress that she had kept for more than 25 years for my daughter to wear some day.  I kept it in a box because I didn't want it to get ruined and almost forgot about it.  eek.  I did however want to get a photo of Lilly in it and frame both pictures on either side of a shadow box with the dress in it.  I also happened to find the same clip that was in my hair as well.  Unfortunately Lilly doesn't have much hair, but we made it work.  My mom said she looked for the bear and was certain she had kept it, but she had no luck finding it, so I used a different bear. And now, here are the pictures.

It is obvious that Lilly gets her looks from her daddy. :)
