High chair

Last weekend Tim and I had a rare chance to get brunch together on Sunday. Between the craziness of event season and him usually playing baseball Sunday mornings it was nice to get together for some yummy food.

Raya had fallen asleep on our way there but within 10 minutes of being there she was awake!! We hadn't even ordered yet and I knew I didn't want to leave her in her carseat the while time if she was awake, she'd certainly get bored and fussy. So she can sit up with assistance pretty well now I thought lets try a high chair?! Totally unprepared mind you! I have one of those cushiony high chair/shopping cart covers but wasn't even thinking it was time to start using it yet...sure enough it's time!! I threw a blanket in which wasn't too smart she kept sliding all around. But it worked and she sat and played with her toys while we ate, we had to adjust her wiggling self a few times but lesson learned and we are certainly ready for this next step...the high chair!!

Such a big girl :)

Move over Babar

Just a little sneak peak...Raya is VERY excited about her Halloween costume!

I looked and looked for a baby Halloween costume and online I kept seeing these cute Carter's costumes with a bubble outfit and tights and shirt under it...knowing I wasn't going to dress her in something scary I thought these were cute! So I decided to head to the Carter's store where I ended up finding a whopping TWO costumes left...huh?!? Weird! A flower which was 24 month size and a cute little elephant size 3-6 month, phew!! There isn't much about an elephant that says Halloween but the colors match her nursery (not like she'll be hanging in her room in her costume!!), she looks darn cute in it, AND I love the little added bonus that we can use the tights and shirt in the months to come not just on Halloween :)

Trick or Treat!

Staycation

A few weeks ago San Diego Style Weddings ( a local wedding magazine) was holding their annual magazine launch party, this year also happened to be their 25th anniversary. We were invited to attend and since I've been missing a lot of the event functions Tim and I so often frequented, due to my new role as mommy, this was one party I knew I didn't want to miss!

The party was at La Costa Resort, about 30 minutes north of us. Coincidentally, Tim had DJ'ed the hotel holiday party last year and part of his payment was a two night stay which we had not redeemed yet!

One of Tim's employees lives about 5 minutes from the hotel and offered to come watch Raya while we went to the party, yippee!!! We made our reservation to stay the night before and the night of the party for our staycation!!

We hung out at the pool and Raya had her first inner tube experience. This resort has 4 different pools and a few water slides, Tim had a great time and a I did go down a few times too. It was nice to just go back to our room and get ready and walk a few yards over to the party!

Once there we noticed a few additional vendors that brought their babies and since everybody was asking about Raya we decided to let her come hang out :) I'm not sure what was funnier that Tim said we can't bring her we don't have a party dress to put her in or my response which was yes I packed on just in case!! Haha! Tim went to the room to get her party dress on for her appearance.

We had a nice time it was fun to get away in our own town :) its always so hard getting back to reality!
