Wow this is happening...

So I have mentioned before that I wanted to own a bakery one day. Well my friend Kacy started a Facebook page for us to be one step closer to our dream job and the response has been unlike anything I imagined. We are booked solid with cakes this week and the orders keep coming in! Its amazing! Well last night Kacy informed me that they want us to do an event where we have a table for cupcake tasting. This event is looking like its going to have over 200 people!! Holy exposure event batman! The only thing is it is this TUESDAY! Looks like a long next few days of baking for me. Got to run! Check out my Kaylee Cakes blog to see some of my work! ------>

We have two teeth!

That's right! We are in the middle of teething. Its a blast. The crying and wanting to be held all the time. I mean who wouldn't enjoy that right!?
Kaylee is doing great other than that. She is growing like a weed and has hit the 7 month mark! EEK! She has just started to be able to get on all fours and pretty soon she will be crawling. I am so scared!
We have hired a good friend of ours to nanny Kaylee 3 days a week. I am so happy to have a nanny who I know and know loves Kaylee but it is still bitter sweet to think that soon she will not be coming to work with me everyday, but its time... for both of us.
We knew bringing her to work was temporary and now that she is more mobile, she requires more attention then I can give her at work and she deserves it. There have been days where she plays by herself most of the day cause I am so busy and even though she is ok with it, that is not fair. She should be played with and nurtured. Plus sometimes I leave work on the verge of tears because we have had a particularly hard day and I feel like I have accomplished nothing as far as work goes and then I feel bad because my boss lets me bring her with me and was so patient and understanding with my obscene amount of doctors appointments during my pregnancy that I cant give this job my all and I should. Its going to be hard, but it needs to be done.

I love spring!

Finally! It feels like SPRING! Sunday morning was so nice that we decided to slather the baby in a ton of sunscreen, put on a hat and sunglasses and work in the sand pit we call our front yard. I love being around water so we put in pond! Kaylee helped.
The result was a beautiful start!

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Tonight I packed the 3-6 month clothing. This is always so bitter sweet for me.

I cant be the only mom who wants to keep pretty much all her old clothes. Unfortunatly, due to limited storage space (and the fact that with my luck if we decided to have another baby it will be a boy!), hanging on to them is not really an option. I have someone who I hand Kaylees clothes down to but sometimes, when you're packing them away, you come across some outfits that are just so cute or have such fond memories of that you hate to see them go. Packing her preemie and newborn clothes were the worst! I wanted to keep everything. I have decided the only outfits I will keep are the ones that she wears on holidays or special occasions (like coming home from the hospital) this year, sort of a tribute to her first year in fashion. 
Even better are the ones she never even got to wear. You find that cute outfit you forgot about shoved in the back of the drawer and think "oh man! I totally missed out putting her in this one!" Then you throw it in the hand me down box and its hopefully on its way to someone who hopefully will get to cut the tags off and get some use out of it.
Since we are on the topic, I cant began to tell you how many 3-6 moth outfits this child had. It was borderline crazy really. I think it was mostly due to the fact that she got a ton of clothes for Christmas. (It was awesome.)
But as I was washing and putting away the 6-9, I really got to enjoy all the cute stuff she has in this new size, I mean seriously how cute are these? 

Plus I decided there are some necessities missing. Looks like its time to do some shopping!

How on earth...

Kaylee is 6 months old! How on earth did that happen so fast? I feel like it was just yesterday I met this gorgeous little monkey!
She has recently become very fond of a wooden spoon that my mom let her play with. She takes it everywhere. I told Chris we spend a ton of money on toys and she wants a wooden spoon. Ha ha go figure.
She is also sitting! (WOOOHOOO!!) I am still too scared to leave her without me spotting but she isn't falling over as much as she used to. Where did my little new born baby go? 
To mark her half birthday I decided to post a vintage Kaylee picture. This was her first time in a car seat. I forget how tiny she really was. I still question if this car seat was even safe for a baby so little.
