Engagement Party Time!!

20130728-150533.jpg

We headed to a casual engagement party tonight to celebrate a fabulous couple that will undoubtly live a fabulously amazing life together!

I love a soft purple on Reagan, the color really brings out the subtle gorgeous hits of grey that hide within her eyes.  The precisous bow around the collar, adds the perfect touch to this already super cute tank.  And the button down back…LOVE!

Thank goodness for adjustable waistbands! Reagan’s tiny waist fit like a glove in these jeans…after the waist bands were buttoned as tight as they could go.  With a longer top, the bunched waist is perfectly hidden.

She loves her converse!  They were her shoe choice for the night…who could argue with that?

Summertime

Summer in the city is hot and the humidity can be killer! With the new pup I have not been wearing much jewelry because he tends to think they’re toys and wants to play. I know he has to learn sooner rather than later because I can’t put wearing them on hold forever. I wore this casual outfit for a day of errands, hanging out in the park and lunch outside at a sidewalk table, all of which included Hudson. He loves to take a nap under the table while we grab lunch or a drink at night. NYC is incredibly dog-friendly and he is allowed practically anywhere that doesn’t serve food, aside from sidewalk tables, which is great for us because we want to be with him as much as possible!

Tank: J.Crew (on sale and worth every penny for the embroidery!) | Shorts: J.Crew (old) similar here | Bracelets: Forever 21, Spikes (no longer online) and Lightning Bolt, C.Wonder, love this one too!

IMG_2523Yesterday was weigh in day for Reagan. She hasn’t been gaining adequate weight, her growth chart for weight has plateaued when it should be climbing. She’s a picky eater, a snacker and dislikes eating a full meal. My husband and I try everything; last night it was taking turns feeding each other…one for Reagan, one for mommy, one for daddy- with daddy clapping ridiculously after we each took our bites. Some meals she eats fantastically, others…not so much. We offer her everything we eat, plus some. I can’t, however, be a short order cook for my 20 month old. At Reagan’s 18 month checkup, she weighed 22lbs. Yesterday, two months later, she gained a measly 6 ounces. UGH!!! So needless to say she has been referred for Food Therapy. Luckily, she has been refered to a clinic of a friend of my mother’s, so there is some comfort in knowing that we will be in good hands. I’m not 100% sure as to what Food Therapy will entail; I will post on that after her initial evaluation at the end of the month.

Enough about that and on to these super cute peach polka dots! This top is actually a onsie underneath, which is genius, because it keeps Reagan from taking her top off…which she has been doing lately and always in public- the library is her number one pick for her favorite place to remove her clothing- which isn’t the best place, because the librarians aren’t the friendliest and always look at me like I’m a horrible mother. Nevertheless, we continue to go each week and continue to get the same stares from the same women. You would think that they would just get over it already and find something else to negatively glare at.

Neon yellow flowers…yes please! These shorts are a very thin denim, have a button fly and an adjustable waist band. Adjustable waist bands are a dream for my tiny waisted toddler.

The beloved Children’s Place sandals. I think it may be time to retire these beauties. For $19.95, they totally have gotten their fair share of ware.

I absolutely adore these Janie & Jack seersucker shorts! The ruffles and sailor button design are absolutely precious, and best of all, the shorts are on sale now!   The Mommy’s Love Bird Shirt is a fabulous Old Navy hand-me-down from Reagan’s fashionable cousin, Grace.  Unfortunately, the shirt is several years old, so is no longer available.  However, both Gap Kids and Old Navy have absolutely adorable shirts that would go perfectly with these seersuckers!

It was raining outside again today, so Reagan decided to take Colby for a walk inside.  Doesn’t he look thrilled?  He’s such a good sport!  Yay for best friends!
