Alyssa's Pink & Grey Nursery

When Tyler was born we still lived in Buds beautiful 1 bedroom condo by the Marina. I didn't get to have fun decorating a Nursery for him. So I went a little overboard with Alyssa's. Not only did I get to decorate a nursery but a GIRL nursery! At a certain point Bud told me to calm down with all the pink and ruffles, but I just couldn't help myself. Here are a few pictures of the Nursery before she was born. We've added some things here and there. I'm a bad mommy and don't put her to sleep in her crib... she likes to cuddle with me. But it still looks pretty in her room!

 

We got her bedding from the "Baby Guy: at the OC Swap Meet. I picked out the fabric myself and designed it. The owner said so many of his customers wanted to buy it when he had it out waiting for us to pick up. I should go into baby bedding design! LOL

I searched Etsy for the perfect quote for her room and was so happy when I found this one!

Love the soft colors. It makes it feel so calm and relaxing in her room.

Her bow collection has tripled in size since this picture thanks to Danicas Chic Bowtique!

A Pink Paradise!

Tyler brought this pink elephant to Alyssa in the Hospital

I love the butterfly mobil my friend Jenny got us!

Also loved these set of frames we picked up from BabiesRUs. I was determined to have a comfy gluider when I got pregnant too and this is the perfect one. It reclines. You can practically sleep in it!

Alyssa 2 Weeks Old

We could not have asked for a better baby girl! The moment she was born she has been so mellow and calm. We have to be the luckiest parents alive to have a newborn that sleeps the entire night! That was the biggest thing I was worried about before she was born. Tyler was such a fussy newborn. We would literally take him on car rides in the middle of the night to get him to sleep. But I honestly think we just didn't feed that poor boy enough, he was probably starving! Alyssa has a booby milk buffet right before bed and she sleeps nice and sound for 8+ hours. I have to actually wake her up on some mornings. I think she is a lot like her mommy and loves to sleep in! :) She also has the sweetest little personality already. Tyler just loves his sister. Our family is truly complete.



I saw this cute idea on Pinterest.com and have done it for her every month. I can't wait to display them on her birthday!



Our sleeping Angel!

Just can't get over those Chubawuba Cheeks!

Alyssa's BFF Harper came for a visit!



Alyssa's Hospital Pictures

I remember when Tyler was born and the hospital photographer came around to take his picture. They set him on what looked like a projection monitor they use in classrooms and took his picture. It was cute but I swear it looks like a baby mug shot! When Alyssa was born it was a whole nother story! They propped her and tried to create a little photo studio in my hospital room. They aren't the best pictures but I still love them because they are of her! She is so sweet and such a chubbers!

She's so chubby she can't even open her eyes! She looks like a little asian baby with perfect heart shapped lips! :)

Tyler's Super Mario Birthday!

Tyler turned FIVE last year and he has been OBSESSSED with Super Mario! He has a ton of little figures that he lines up EVERYWHERE around the house! So he told me he had to have a Super Mario Party! Every year I swear I'm not going to go all out with details for his party, but when I start something my mind just goes bonkos with all the little details and it ends up being SO much work AGAIN! I don't know how I did it with a little baby this year, but this CRAZY mamma pulled it off again! Tyler and the kids had a blast and that made all the work so worth it. There is nothing better than Tyler's smile and excitement. I figured all he went through with the new baby he deserved a good party!

I actually painted Mario and Luigi myself, I know I'm CRAZY!

Cake Pops!

Tyler Year by Year

Crazy Boys!

So much fun! That bouncer gave me a heart attack though! The boys are getting so rough they were trying to make it tip over the entire time! Thank God for rentors insurance! LOL

Mario made an appearance!

He was a little weird but the kiddos loved him!

The Birthday Boy!

Make a wish!

Alyssa even loved the party too!

Tyle's best friends and their chocolate mustaches!

Tyler just loves his sister.
