All the baby products I have gotten lately…

….

Happy Tuesday to all of my mamas,

this post is for you. I wanted to round-up some of the latest baby things I got cause first of all we don´t always use anything I get (Emilia doesn´t like everything) plus baby items are so cute and I tend to order too much.

All of the products are available on amazon which means you get everything in one place plus most of them are prime shipping. I definitely slowed down purchasing stuff cause Emilia has her favorite things and mostly uses these. Sometimes she will play with something else but she always comes back around.

 

Play phone // I got this retro telephone because I had the exact same as a kid and thought she would like to play with it but it doesn´ t interest her at all so this was definitely a fail

Silicone bips // Awesome for feedings. The food will fall right into it which means less of a mess. 

Hair bows // These are adorable and come in every color you will need. The bows are clip in and hold up very well.

Dinosaur book // Emilia loves all the touch and feel books so I got her the dinosaur version. It is the cutest thing when she “reads” a book. 

Lego Duplo bus // We also have the animal and number train. I couldn´t wait for her to start playing with Duplo and maybe I got all these a little more for myself and for her but she likes to destroy all the trains I build.

Playmobil 123 safari truck // Got this cute safari truck for Emilia´s Easter basket. Can´t wait for her to open it. 

Philips Avent straw cup // She loves drinking out of her straw cup. I think she feels very “grown up” with this and I have a feeling she even drinks more with it than with her usual sippy cup.

Peppa Pig book // This book actually was for her little Valentine´s basket but it ended up being way to big so I gave it to her early and she loves to look under all the flaps.

NUK tooth set // Since we have 8 teeth now it is time to get Emilia used to brushing her teeth. This is going to be a tough one.

Cabinet childlooks // These were very necessary cause she stared to open the cabinets and pull out everything. They hold up very well and we didn´t have to exchange one yet.

Fruit nibbler // Never used this. I got it for teething to put cold fruit and ice inside but she didn´t know what to do with it and just played with the handle.

Bathrobe // This will be one of Emilia´s birthday present. A baby in a bathrobe is just the cutest.

11 Months with Emilia…

….

Happy Saturday, 

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

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.

Good day to all of my lovely readers,

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

I am finally coming around of sharing the details of Emilia´s baptism two weeks ago. This was such an emotinal and exciting day (rather for me than for her) and so nice to spend it with family although there were still some restrictions due to stupid Covid.

Church hasn´t been a problem since we only were a small group of people but for our at home celebration we sadly had to reduce so only our parents and the godparent of Emilia have attended. All of the others got a big slice of cake to-go. We decided whether to change the date or not but I wanted to finally “get over with it” cause we alreay had the candle and the cake ordered and her clothes would not fit in a few months.

Hopefully there won´t be many restrictions around her first birthday so we can have a big celebration.

Anyways let´s talk about the cake table I set up. I loved loved loved how it turned out. I definitely wanted to do something special for her blessing and I think the table turned out great.

First of all I started with the sequin blankets I also used for the gift table and candy bar at our wedding. I got them from etsy and they are huge and heavy and made of great quality. The other highlight on the table was the fir garland. I ordered it for the whole length of the table and added tiny twinkle lights and it just looked stunning. 

The cake of course was the show stopper of the table. The cutest 2-tier cake I have seen in a while and it was really tasty too. The pink petit-fours had the symbols of the baptism candle painted on top. 

To the left and right I added candle holders, tea lights, a cute picture in a beautiful frame as well as forks, spoons, napkins and plates.

Our theme has been pink and white with lots of golden accents. I personally loved it a lot and this was so much fun I am already looking forward to plan her first birthday.

Everytime I sit down and write another monthly update I can not believe hot much time has passed already. She is going to turn 6 months shortly and I still remember taking her home from the hospital like it was yesterday. 

Emilia started rolling from her back on her tummy last month and now she is quite the pro. Back and forth all day long and she is getting everywhere she wants – mostly with a little detour but she´s got time you now.

Teething toys have become very interesting the last few weeks. She likes chewing on them and makes the funniest squeekie sounds. I ordered a cute little fox from amazon as well as a banana from Nuby and she loves both.

She has grown to be a very good sleeper and sleeps through the night on 6 out of 7 days I would say. The first time she wakes up and needs to be breastfed is around 6 to 7:30 am which is a huge stretch, after that she fall aspleep again and sleeps until 9 or 10 am. She goes to bed around 11 pm and I know this is late but her last long nap is from 8 to 9 pm so this has become pretty normal for us. 

I haven´t started solids yet cause I want to wait until she reaches a full six months before I slowly introduce her to other foods. This is handled different by every mother I know so far but that´s what we decided and to be honest I see no harm in feeding her purely breastmilk a little longer than expected. So far she has shown no interest in any other food at all and she has grown great with my milk.

She is now wearing size 74 in all of her clothes. I got a huge bunch of new things the other weeks. Thank good for H&M and Zara for the cutest but affordable clothes.

Sitting is another favorite activity of her although she can´t sit up by herself but she loves to sit on my lap or on the sofa over lying around. We just got the seat for her Stokke chair so she can sit in there and “eat” with us at the table.

That´s it so far. I am really excited how she is going to react to other foods and if she likes it. Going to be an interesting period of trial and error.
