After browsing my Etsy shop for the first time, my dad wanted to know why I didn't have any hiking or motorcycle boots for the boys. I think he had a hard time spotting the few lonely pairs of boys shoes that I DID have. In his words, "Everything is always for girls." You need to know that my dad is no stranger to "girl stuff" as my mom gave birth to three of us. So Dad, this one is for you!
Since starting All Things for Baby I've really wanted to offer items for boys. I remember when my son was young, how unexciting it was to go shopping for clothes for him. After all, how much could you do with a boy's shirt back in the mid 80's. It either had a collar or it didn't. It either had short sleeves or it had long sleeves and that was about it. With the explosion of "Babyitis" among celebrities and the rest of the world, I gotta admit boy's clothing has come a long way. As a mom of both a boy and a girl, I know that shopping for girl's clothing is oodles more fun. All the
pink, and
bows, and
ruffles! Not to mention the
hair accessories,
dresses, and just general
cuteness of girl stuff. Sorry. Back to the boys...
Here's my first baseball cap for baby boys
I finally got the brim just right. And no, I'm not doing them in "Dad" sizes yet! If I ever do, my dad will get the first one!

We also entertained ourselves at the beach. I love seeing the sheer delight on children's faces as they splash in the water and try to get that sand castle built before the waves knock it down.
We finished up the weekend with a walk to Yogurtland. If you haven't tried it yet, you must. Fabulous frozen yogurt with all the toppings. Perfect ending to a perfect weekend.
For your viewing pleasure, there's two tiny little beaks sticking out of the top of the nest on the right side. How cute! If I remember correctly from the nest that we had last year, it shouldn't be too long before we start hearing the chirping. Somehow I don't think the chirping will drown out the barking of the neighbor's dog. A girl can dream though...
They've just decided on the reception venue so we are now in full WEDDING PLANNING mode! So many decisions and details. And of course, since I design wedding invitations for a living, I'm feeling the pressure to come up with something pretty spectacular. I love talking weddings with my brides at work, and now it's even more special planning with my own daughter! Dress shopping is the one thing that excites me the most. I can't imagine seeing her in a wedding dress for the first time. It's a moment that I know I will treasure.
I think I read that the babies stay in the nest about 2 weeks. Can't wait to hear their little chirping noises. What's chirping in your back yard?
Have a wonderful day and take time to smell the flowers in YOUR garden.
I told her I'd have it done by her graduation. You can guess what's coming next, can't you. That's right. I haven't even started it yet and her graduation party is just over 3 weeks away. If you've ever quilted than you know that a quilt isn't something that you just whip together in an afternoon. I still don't even have all the fabric yet, but here's the start of it.
Yup, there's 12 different fabrics there and I still need 4 more. Maybe a bit more orange. So..I'm off to the fabric store and I'm thinking I need to call in sick tomorrow. Do you think "quilt fever" is an illness? Somehow I don't think my boss will buy it. Wish I liked coffee. I think I have some late nights ahead of me.
I finally got the brim just right. And no, I'm not doing them in "Dad" sizes yet! If I ever do, my dad will get the first one!
