Baby Shower!

Yesterday was my baby shower. I don't have a ton of photos because I was too busy enjoying the people, food and gifts. I will post more once someone shares with me! It was a perfect day filled with my favorite people and my favorite foods - who could go wrong with that? Today I spent the day, detagging, organizing and enjoying all of the gifts all over again. The generosity was amazing - Sophie (we have decided on a name!) is going to be one well dressed little girl.

The amazing cake - it matched the shower invitation perfectly and tasted even better than it looked (can't wait to have the leftovers tonite!).

In lieu of cards, the guests were asked to bring a favorite book. Everyone added their own message on the inside cover which I love! So, this is the start of Sophie's bookshelf (you can see the adorable shower invite in the frame).

Today, I detagged everything and organized them into different bags (towels/blankets, size 0-3 months, size 3-6 months, 6+ months). I also took all of her accessories and shoes and organized them in the drawers. It was quite the feat because everyone was so generous! Now, I just have to launder everything and put it away! The nursery is also almost done... we are just waiting for the rocker and to put up the curtains. Once that is done, I will post photos of the finished product. Photos with my new camera that I have yet to get out of the box.... (one thing at a time!).

My sweet boy, Coodie, kept me company through the organizing today. We are making sure to let the cats smell, touch and see everything so they feel comfortable with the changes since they were our first kids and all. We left our new stroller in the kitchen las night and when I came downstairs, I realized they had pushed it clear across the room. I just wish I could have been there to see the hijinks. I am guessing Gus was inside while Coodie pushed him but that could just be my imagination!

Thanks to my family and friends for a truly amazing day. Also, thanks to the hostesses, Jodi, Kate and Donna for all of your hard work in making this come together. It was perfect!
