Sandy`s Baby Shower May 15, 2011

Remember how I was planning my cousin`s surprise baby shower. Well finally, here are pictures. She was really surprised and we all had a really good time. I think everything turned out beautiful.




Obviously it was a baby girl shower. My theme started out as `Vintage Baby`and in the end just turned out being a pink wonderland!



These cupcakes turned out soooooo nice! And not to mention, Delicious! They were a vanilla buttermilk cupcake that I died pink. They were covered in buttercream frosting and topped with a homemade fondant butterfly. (Homemade fondant is so much tastier than bought!). I finally got to use my cupcake stand. So excited!




We had a brunch buffet. I made a bunch of Mini Muffins (Carrot cake and Blueberry Jam filled). Other things on the menu were a delicious Spinach Cheese Quiche (courtesy of my mom), fruit and cheese platters, fruits, potatoes, smoothies, bacon deviled eggs, etc. Everything was really good! We all ate very well. There even was a candy table. YUM!



For the party favors, I decided on mini potted violets. They were really sweet and looked pretty all lined up. 




Here is a picture of the most beautiful baby shower cake. It was a triple chocolate cake, filled with buttercream, and topped with homemade pink fondant. It was really tasty (some ladies even had seconds!). My mom and dad worked hard on this cake and it turned out fantastic!

So that pretty much sums up the first shower i`ve planned. Success!!!

Luca turned 8 months last week! How time flies. I can`t believe how fast time is passing. He`s growing up to be such an amazing little boy. Always smiling (almost always!). I love him so much!

Having Fun at the Park

Baby and I have been going for a lot of walks lately (when the weather permits of course). Its so nice to get out of the house and soak up the vitamin D. I love strolling around with baby. Its great exercise too, which should help me reach my weight loss goal faster. I`m already feeling better. My legs have lost the most weight I think. they`re much smaller and much tighter. I`m loving saying bye to the jiggly! Hehe! Anyway.

On May 10th, I took baby to the park for the first time. I put him in the little swings for babies. I wasn't sure how he would like it, or if he would hold himself up. But lo and behold, he loved it. He laughed as I slowly pushed the swing. He thought it was really funny seeing mommy getting far and then really near as I would bring my face close when he would approach. It was very cute and very fun! Cant wait to do this more often during the summer. So many firsts for my baby! I love watching him discover new things and enjoying life!

All done at the park and time to go home!

My First Mother`s Day

May 8th, 2011 marked my first mother`s day! It was a very nice day spent with my lovely family. My mother is very special to me. She is one of my best friends. I dont know what I would do without her. She is always there for me. Whether I need help with the baby, or planning something, or just need an ear to listen. Among a long list of other things! I hope I become a great mother just like her. I love her very much and even if I become a fraction of what she is, I`ll be happy! :o)

Here is a picture of my munchkin and I on Mother`s Day!

7 Months Old!

I know it`s been awhile since I`ve updated my blog. I apologize for that. It`s been very busy around here. I finally get a little break today. Baby is sleeping right now, and I dont really have any pressing matters to attend to. So I thought now would be a great time to catch up! Here is a picture I took when Luca turned 7 months old!! Picture Perfect Cutness!
