T-Shirt of the Month: MONTHS 4 TO 9

I've been so bad about posting this, so now comes a mega post! The little dude just turned nine months and he is so amazing, we are the proudest parents. Here are all the t-shirts I've made. Look at how much he's grown!

Easter Basket

Whew, where has the time gone? Evan just turned eight months and it's time for Easter. I want to start a tradition for him where I make an Easter basket. This isn't something we do in Serbia, but I like the idea of hiding something and leaving little clues for him to find. This year, because he's so small and enjoys putting things in his mouth, the basket contains chewable and soft toys.

T-shirt of the month: Month Three

I can't believe it's already been three months. I am back at work and the little guy is spending time with his grandparents who came all the way from Serbia. He's babbling (I don't know if it's English or Serbian yet), smiling and generally doing great.

Here's this month's shirt. I'll try to do more posts that aren't just shirts :)

T-shirt of the month: Month Two

Here it is, t-shirt for the second month. Evan is growing so fast, we're almost out of the forth trimester and it's amazing to see how he's changed. Looking forward to posting month three in a couple of weeks.

T-shirt of the month: Month One

This is a little late, but better late than never, right? Here's Evan in his Month 1 t-shirt:

The first shirt was designed by Ashley and me. Hope you like it. Month Two is just around the corner.

Baby style

Why are baby girl clothes so much cuter than baby boy clothes? Well, I am not giving up on trying to instill some fashion sense into a newborn. Here's a roundup of things I've been liking.

Pug and Panda pants by Volgaforkids on Etsy 
Polka dot pants by Oeuf 
Top and bottom combo and Pineapple onesie (might be for girls, but I don't care) from Volgaforkids 
Old Navy bodysuits
Jcrew sweater (similar here)
Zara shirt
Animal hoodie by Oeuf

Baby announcement

He's here! Well he's been here for three weeks now, but I finally got a chance to make a little birth announcement for him. Baby boy is already almost 9 lbs and over 21 inches and is doing great. I'm sleeping a little and trying to enjoy every moment, even the 3 am feedings.

T-shirt of the month

For my baby shower I got 12 t-shirts and a bunch of fabric markers from my friend Ashley (who clearly knows me very well). Each shirt was numbered one to 12, and they got bigger in size. She told me to decorate them and then take pictures of Evan for each month of his first year.

I'm really looking forward to doing that. Here's a sneak preview of the shirts I made.

 I pulled a lot of inspiration for patterns from my pattern board on Pinterest.

These are such a great baby shower present! And so fun to make. Thank you Ashley!

My to-go bag

You should pack a go-to bag for the hospital somewhere between 34 and 36 weeks, so that if you go into labor at any point, you don't have to worry. Your bag is in the car and ready to go. 

The hospital will have most of the things on this list, and you really only need a baby outfit, your own outfit and a car seat. But I like having my own stuff, it makes me feel a little bit more comfortable, not to mention that I'm all about being over prepared. 

Here's a small peek into my bag I have some clothes in there, flip flops, a robe, an extra scarf and socks in case the hospital gets too cold, and some comforting toiletries. I got Kevin Murphy samples from my hairdresser, they smell so good! The Aesop cream is another thing that I find instantly soothing.

Also, here's a nifty checklist I made. You can pin it, print it out, or use it to make your own.

Baby's first outfit

Baby clothes. Is there anything cuter? And even though I know babies mostly poop, pee and puke on them, I couldn't resist buying a few cute things for Evan. This is what I picked out for his coming home outfit.

We got most of the clothes from Amazon, the top and the socks are from Gerber. The shorts are from Lulu and Ro. Check out their cute Etsy shop. I'm in love with all their stuff.

The hat from Mato&Hash is so cute and functional, you can tie the top and resize it as the baby grows. Product designer dad really liked that feature. And they're crazy cheap.

Nursery in-progress

Baby's almost here, so we're hustling to get everything done for his arrival.

I got this little chair from Gilt. The three goats painting is one of mine, we hacked a frame from Ikea.

This little chambray lion is from Restoration Hardware. I love their Baby&Child stuff.

This name banner is another hand-made thingy. I looked around Pinterest a lot for inspiration. Perhaps I'll post a how-to sometime.

The mobile is also from RH. Mind you, they were having a sale, so I went a little nuts.

That's it for now. I'll keep posting and hoping y'all enjoy it.

Love,
