Kivelli Baby Review

I won a giveaway from The Baby's Den (on facebook) for a $100 credit to Kivelli Baby (on facebook). It was so hard choosing what to get with the credit! I really wanted a bracelet for Adeline, but I also wanted a robe and the blanket was to die for! I am loving Damask right now! I just got the Robe and Blanket for now, and maybe a bracelet for Christmas! Kivelli Baby has a lot of very cute baby things, I highly recommend checking them out.

As soon as I got the Robe and Blanket I immediately washed them so I could take some pics of Adeline and use them!

The blanket is 30"x36" which is a great size for naps. I love the minky and the colors are gorgeous. My only suggestion to Kivelli Baby is to state on the website that the back of the blanket is not the same as the front. The one we received had a White back on it, I would have liked at least black if you can't have the same pattern on the back. But it is still Minky and super soft.

Adeline has to be playing with something!

The robe is super cute as well. The Robe is soft Terry Cloth with Minky on the borders. The size is 12-24 months. Adeline is currently in 12 months clothes, however the robe is still huge on her! I love it though and can't wait until she's a bit bigger to wear it properly.

Super cute packaging!

After her bath - sleeves so long, needed to be double rolled. But she loved it.

Stylin' and Profilin'

There was an issue with the shipping of my items, however as soon as it was brought to their attention they acted on it fast and got my items out to me as soon as possible.

Disclosure: I won a credit to Kivelli Baby, however all opinions are my own.

Adeline is 10 months old!

I know I've probably said this before - but she is growing up so fast and she is the best baby!

She basically is crawling, just isn't going very far yet. Just a "step" or two forward. Today when I went in to get her out of bed she was FINALLY sitting up on her own! Then when I went back to check on her later in the day while she was in the crib, she stood up again on the side. She is getting more and more adventurous every day.

Also I swear she is saying Baby! - more like Bah-Bah. She loves other children, definitely need to get her to more playgroups!

Here is Adeline with her Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds

TEETHING!

This week has been something. Miss Adeline has 4 upper teeth coming in at the same time! Two have already poked through with two more following. For a couple days I forgot to put her amber necklace on and I could definitly tell the difference! When she has it on she is such a happier and uncranky baby! The days I forgot, oh me!

So since she is being a bit more needy than usual I haven't got much done this week. Working on some items for my ETSY shop - bibs! I'll post once they are done. They are all cut out and pinned together waiting for me to have some time to sew, have about 5 all with the same cute Giraffe print fleece.

Adeline is working on pulling herself up. For my birthday last Saturday (8th) she pulled herself up for the first time in her crib!!! I think I cried a little! Crawing will happen any day, she is so close and tries all the time. She is also trying to pull up on everything. Though, like the doctor said, she's a very content baby and usually just happy to sit and play. Here's some pictures of her from the past couple weeks. Most are cell phone pics so sorry for the crummy pics!

Trying to pull up!

Likes to visit mommy's craft room - she scoots and moves around some on her butt

Attempting to stand!

We've gone to B&N several times and she gets to play with the trains!

Love this hat! Just didn't want to pay $16 for it!!! yikes.

On my birthday when she stood up all on her own!

DIY Baby Shoes

Yesterday I went Olde Salem Days and while there bought some super cute shoes from Crazy Leggies and they inspired me to make some for Adeline. I used the Modern Baby Bootie Tutorial from Tao of Craft. These are my first attempt and I am a beginner sewer so they are not perfect! But they are wearable and hopefully I learned a lesson or two so I can make more for Adeline!

Any recommendations on how to sew a straighter line in the curve of the shoe? That was my worst newbie mistake!

Hairbows! DIY

Adeline doesn't have enough hairbows, I can never find one to match certain outfits. So I decided to make some of my own. Michaels had their Fall Stems on sale last week for $0.99/each - which is a great deal! Here is how I made the flower hairbows:

1 - Pull the flower heads off the stems - they came off very easily for me and I just cut off any excess stem with scissors so the back of the flower would be as smooth as possible.

2 - Cut out felt circles dependent on the size of your flowers. You can buy pre-cut circles, but I had felt already and didn't want to spend extra $$!

3 - Using your glue gun connect the hair clip to the felt. I put a line of glue then clamped the clip down, then added more glue on top to attach flower to.

4 - Once the flower head is attached it will look like this:

5 - Add hot glue and finish attaching felt to flower:

6 - And you are done! I made all 6 in about 30 minutes.

If anyone would like for me to make some for them let me know.

Claytor Lake - Impromtu Photo Session with Adeline!

While at Claytor Lake we decided it was too cool for Miss Adeline to go swimming so we went down to the water and decided to watch the boats go by. We were down near the Gazebo when I spotted this beautiful tree with gold moss and decided Adeline needed some photos taken!

This is my favorite!

Claytor Lake - Adeline's First Camping Trip

This past weekend we went camping at Claytor Lake with my parents and brother in their RV. This was Adeline's first camping trip! She did great, the first night took some adjusting and by the second night she slept great. It ended up being a pretty cool weekend so we didn't get to take her to the beach on the Lake, but we still had fun.

PHOTO BOMB!

Yes, it's a Bumbo on a table!! There are 5 adults right beside her. NO worries!

Where we spent 90% of our time this weekend!

My brother...ugh...

Chillin' on mommy's bed!

Happy Baby!

Fell asleep on her walk - love her socks? They are mine! Forgot hers of course.
