Happy Saturday,

wow where to start, where to start. It has been quite some time since I have updated you guys on Emilia´s progress. She is now 11 months and one week old which means we are in her birthday month now. I am planning a Minnie Mouse birthday party for my little girl and I hope so much that she will be excited as much as I am.

She recently started walking which is amazing. I never thought she would start this early and I am so proud of her. It is the cutest thing when she waddles around with her tiny little feet and tries to kick away everything in her way.

Another thing she loves is looking at pictures. We need to look at all of our photos in our house over and over again. Same with books. It is the cutest thing when she picks out a book and starts “reading” it. Also a book won´t be great if there aren´t dinosaurs or dogs in it.

Emilia can say Mama and Papa and she can make like a fish when you ask her to. She winks when she has to go to bed or if someone is leaving.

She takes two big naps a day for which I am very glad cause otherwise I wouldn´t be able to get stuff done. Now on to solids. We had our fair share of problems with introducing solids. I thing she just didn´t get the concept of why she suddenly had to add food to her diet when she was totally satisfied by her milk.

I had all the big plans on making baby food by myself and tried so many different vegetables but it was two spoons full and then done. Meanwhile we have found some things she will definitely eat containing oatmeal, chocolate pudding, pear, cheese, spaghetti and bread. It isn´t the variety I had wished for but to be honest this is a win in my book plus our pediatricin said that eating before their first birthday is still just a game to babies.

So that post was long overdue hence the long text but thanks for sticking with me. This is it for today. I am going to share recent baby finds on the blog next week plus I am planning on sharing our daily schedule which took us about 9 months to get there.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

DIY – Baby / Toddler Valentine´s Day Basket…

Happy Wednesday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

today marks my last Valentine´s Day post for this year but also the best one too (at least for me). To be honest this was one of the things I got excited when I was pregnant with Emilia. I love to gift little holiday themed things / baskets (not only to my child) to other people in my life but getting baby items is definitely on the cuter side. The little basket is not only for playing / snacking but also a teachable moment. I know she is too small to fully understand what´s going on this year but I also know how happy Emilia gets when I show her a new toy or book she gets to keep so this will definitely warm my mama heart.

Anyways if you are not interested in making the basket by yourself you can skip the next paragraph where I am sharing what you will need to get crafty asap.

What you will need

Congratulations! You are trying to accomplish this by yourself rather than buying. I have to admit I thought it would be super easy but there are definitely some tricky parts. So let´s start with the felt. I got it from an etsy shop. Make sure to get a thickness of 4 or 5 mm otherwise it will be to thin and won´t hold up. You will need a very sharp scissor to cut it. I had to go over to my parents house cause obviously all of ours are too blunt.

The meassurments should be as you need it. I just put down the tallest object which was the book in our case and went with the width plus some additional space of a few mm. You will need three pieces of the bigger parts (front, back and bottom piece) and two pieces of the small parts (the two side pieces). If you want to you can also make a handle but I didn´t do one. Another cute feature I added are the hearts on the back and the front. I got the template from Pinterest.

After you cut out all your pieces it is time to heat up your glue gun. The glue dries fast on the felt so you should work quick. Another tip from my side – don´t use too much glue. It dries white and you will see it on the sides if it leaks. The hearts are higher than the sides but that was intended to add some dimension.

Overall I am very pleased with the look of my little Valentine´s Day basket for Emilia. But to be honest I am sure she is going to rip it apart in no time cause that is what she love to do at the moment. Nevertheless I gave my best to give her a great first Valentine´s Day present.

What to put in the basket

This is the second fun part (maybe a little too much fun for me) – filling the basket. I went with snacks, a Valentine´s Day themed pekaboo book, cute little house shoes with an embroidered heart, a Peppa Pig stuffed animal and a little wooden toy.

I can´t wait to give it to her and see how happy she will be.

Are you planning anything for your kids. Heart shaped pancakes or doughnuts would be so cool too but she isn´t eating any of that yet.

See you tomorrow guys.

Baby, Holiday

Emilia ´s Eight Months Update…

12/11/2020 Keine Kommentare

Having a baby totally changes your feeling for time. It definitely goes by super fast and some days come to an end and I couldn´t tell you what we even did. Maybe that is why my sweet little newborn isn´t a newborn anymore. She is eight months now (and 14 days) and couldn´t be any cuter. I definitely want to eat her up most of the time. I absolutely forgot to post about her 7 months update so this will be a mixed one.

She is super smiley not only with us but also with other people. She recently started to sit up and has become very good at sitting for longer periods in a short amount of time. She can also sit up by herself when she likes to.

One thing we got really surprised about is that she started crawling last week. I gave up the thought about her crawling some time ago and was even more happy that she actually crawls now. Emilia is really fast now and makes the cutest sounds while doing so. I just love to watch her.

Standing up has been her second great achivement for the last few weeks. She pulls up very nicely by kneeling and then standing up. Totally perfected that technique.

Still doesn´t want to eat any solids. We have tried a ton of different foods and some are more in her favor than others but overall Emilia doesn´t eat enough to cut back milk now, so milk it still is.

We are currently having four teeths and I am so happy that they are through now cause she sleeps a lot better than some weeks ago.

I can´t wait for Christmas Eve to come to see her with all the lights and family and her presents. I always loved Christmas but it is definitely better with a child. A thousand times at least.

By the way, the sweater is from H&M but I couldn´t find it online.

Baby Girl – Winter Outfit Idea…

Happy Humpday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not spnsored)

can you believe Christmas is only two weeks away?! This was quite the bummer to realize that the Christmas time is over in two weeks. Our calendar has been full last year and now there are just a handful of appointments in there mostly the non fun ones like the dentist.

Anyways how cute is our little baby girl in her adorable teddy suit. I got this a while back but it always has been too warm for her to wear but now is the perfect time.

She was smiling all the time when we took the pictures. It was so much fun for her getting animated by my husband behind the camera.

My favorite places to shop for baby clothes is H&M still. They just have the cutest pieces and they fit her the best. Another place I love to look at is C&A as well as PatPat. We get a lot of handmedown from a collegue of my mom which are always Petit Bateau (a French brand). They are super chic but oh so small. I can dress her in two bigger sizes than she is actually wearing.

I am going to share some of our Christmas looks the next days/weeks so stay tuned and follow on Instagram.

For size reference, Emilia is wearing size 80 now and she is 7 and a half months.

If you are still looking for Christmas gifts check back tomorrow. I am going to share some great ideas for the Binge Watcher.
