Grandmas Visit

Rylie's grandma left this morning to go back to NJ. We had a very busy 2 weeks during her visit and are exhausted!

We ate a lot of yummy food, including these delicious Oreo cupcakes we made for her birthday from Bakerella (one of my favorite food blogs)

Carters was having a huge Labor Day sale so we brought Rylie shopping. She has acquired quite a wardrobe and even has a Halloween Costume. I get so sad though when I go through her closet and realize how fast she is growing. She has outgrown so many of her clothes and my 2 month old monster is wearing nearly 6 month clothes! All except for Gymboree who I'm totally disappointed in. Does anyone else have this problem; Rylie has a good number of summer outfits from Gymboree in newborn sizes but they are HUGE on her. Thank goodness we live in Arizona so there is a small chance she will grow into them before the cooler weather comes.

On Saturday my mom babysat so my husband and I could go on a date. I haven't been to a movie since before I was pregnant so we went to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. It was seriously a great movie, one of my all time favorites I think. We went to dinner after. Dates are totally different when you have a baby. The whole movie I was one of those annoying people who check their phones, but I couldn't help but worry that maybe something was wrong. Then when we ate the whole conversation was about how AWESOMELY CUTE our baby is.

I've been LOVING my new camera but am no pro at using it, so on Sunday my mom and I took a beginner photography workshop with Mike Maez Photography and took some great photos of some models at a beautiful place called Venue at the Grove.

Rylie took her first dip in the pool on Labor Day (photos to come) and she loved it. We dressed her up in her sunglasses and swim diaper and she chilled on the steps with her dad. 

Monday was the final full day of Grandmas visit so we went to the park to take some photos together.

You will rarely see pictures of me on here, it's very seldom that I like
having my photo taken, but in this shot I have to say, my hair looks FABULOUS!

That concludes Grandmas visit. Sadly, I now only have 20 days before I go back to work. I'm really hoping for a lottery win before the day comes. I don't want to miss a second of this baby's life.
