Too fast! 9 month update

Well, this little princess has been "out" as long as she was "in"! 

Current Stats

Weight: 16 lbs 6oz

Length

Milestones:

We cut our first 2 teeth at the same time on the bottom. I say we, because as any mom can attest teething is a joint venture. 

Reagan is crawling so fast. If you blink you'll miss her. 

She pulls up to stand and has even let go a few times. 

Self feeding is one of her newest accomplishments. She especially likes bananas and puffs. 

Fun things: 

Reagan celebrated her first Halloween by helping Mommy and Big Brother Trey pas out candy to our neighbors. 

Fix Number Six

Hi y'all! I requested that this fix have some dressier pieces in it because my closet was struggling with outfits to wear to meetings and church. My stylist, Emily, delivered quite well. All of the pieces go well together in the same palate so I could wear them together or with other pieces already in my closet.

Drop Earrings $28.00 - Keep

Very chic and not over stated and compliment everything. I'm hoping these won't be too much of an attraction for Reagan.

Milan Lace Print Back Pleat Top $58.00 - Keep

Love this for fall. Its very flowy so I can wear it in early Texas fall (aka still blazing hot), but still layer it when it gets chilly out.

Marlena Abstract Print Tab Sleeve Blouse $48.00 - Keep

I really like the color on this blouse and I think it goes well with my skin tone. I like the pop of pink so that I can coordinate with some of Reagan's dresses.

Kaleigh Ankle Biter Skinny Jean - $88.00 - send back

I really wanted these to work, but they are just too big. This is not StitchFix's fault, but I've been so diligent about getting to the gym that I'm toning up more. But I'm going to look around to see if I can find something similar elsewhere.

Sloane Colorblock A-Line Ponte Shift Dress $78.00 - Keep

Love love love this dress. First, who doesn't love a shift dress? So classic. Secondly, the color block on this dress was spot on. I like that it is trendy, but not over the top that I won't be able to wear it after the trend has passed.

Trey is Two

Where does the time go? It seems like just the other day we were celebrating his first birthday, and now he's TWO! 

Likes: 

his sisters - all 3 of them. First thing in the morning he says "where cake-an?". He likes calling out for "Chaaas-y" and calls Trinity "baby", probably because she calls Trey "my baby". 

Swimming! He sticks his head all the way underwater. Loves splashing around too! 

Shoes: especially his squeaky shoes! I love them because I know where he is. 

Dislikes:

Bath time. This is new for us since he used to LOVE the bath. I remember Chasity went through this phase too about this age. 

Fav foods:

Bananas "nene", applesauce pouches "souch", and cheese! We recently had to put a lock on the pantry after he learned how to open it and help himself. This resulted in quite a few messes including dumping a whole bag of lucky charms to better access the marshmallows. 

Least fav foods:

Carrots! Nonna got him to eat a few teriyaki glazed carrots when she came to stay, but this occurrence hasn't repeated itself. 

Favorite toy:

Stethoscope by far. We have 3 at this point. 1 upstairs. 1 downstairs and 1 in the car. He loves them and likes to listen to your heart and for you to listen to his. 

Newest phrases: come here, come on, be nice, not nice, open, pleeeease moooommmmyyyy, hold chew, and AMEN! 

Favorite songs: Happy by pharell, Twinkle Twinkle, and Rancho Grande (mariachi band song)

Height:

Weight:

Head:

Sizes: mostly 12 months still. I've started buying him some 18months clothes though. 

Trey lights up our world. I said it last year and I'll say it again, he can turn any frown upside down. He is very polite, says thank you for even the smallest thing and loves giving hugs and "one more" kisses. 

Happy Birthday Trey, we love you! 

Mambo Number 5: Stitch Fix

#1

My only reservation on this was I thought the tie was slightly unflattering on me. But can easily be bubbled under, or hopefully all this time at the gym will pay off and I'll like it more.

#2

This one is so cute. Amazing COLOR! I don't have anything this color in my wardrobe and I was surprised how good it looked on me. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was thinking it was going to be too short on me, but it turned out to be a really good length. The chevron pattern was trendy, but not too over the top.

#3

This dress was my favorite out of the fix. The top of the dress was a little big on me, but that's nothing I can't manage. I loved the length. Since I'm petite so many dresses that are "short" are actually closer to tea length on me. I really liked the floral print. I can see pairing this with leggings and a a cardigan in the fall too.

#4

Simple cream cardigan. Love it, it will be perfect for fall in Texas and very light weight.

#5

This is a cute little nautical stripped dress. It is very much my typical style. I liked the way the skirt wrapped and was high/low. The color works well in my wardrobe.

My stylist did an awesome job! The price is getting back down to where I would like it to be. This fix was right on course for my typical style with a bit of flair mixed in.

$180.0 for the box including my stylist fee, and my buy all discount.

Make Up Routine

I joined Lifetime Fitness late last month and I have loved every minute of it. One if the best parts about it for me are the 2 hours of free child care per day. I go in, workout for an hour or so and then shower and get dressed and ready for the day all by myself. It's awesome! 

I still have a simple make up routine. While it may be child free, I'm still on a time schedule. 

About a year ago I discovered this fabulous product. Loreal Miracle Blur It helps my foundation go on so much smoother and last longer than foundation alone. 

I'm not married to any beauty products. I change it up as the wind blows. Sometimes I head into Ulta and say "what's new" and go from there. My latest find is this Stilla All Day Foundation and Concealer. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4520037

It's awesome because in the cap is concealer and comes with a foundation brush. 

After foundation I brush on a translucent powder to keep everything in place and, if need, be I brush on a little blush, but often times my cheeks are so rosy they don't need it. 

So the last product I have to tell you about is my favorite. I've been using it for a bit over 2 years. It instantly brightens my eyes and adds a little shimmer. Sometimes I wear it alone and other tines I'll use it as an eye shadow primer. I really like that it's in a tube with a sponge applicator - less mess, faster application. 

After those major things it's eyeliner(occasionally), mascara and lipgloss. 

What's your make up routine? 

June StitchFix

Some of y'all saw this outfit on my Instagram. I wore it as soon as I opened the box!

WAYNE SWISS DOT & FLORAL TIE-NECK BLOUSE $68.0

 Awesome color, fits really well on me - not too tight, but still doesn't destroy my figure

AIDEN ANKLE LENGTH SKINNY JEAN $98.00 

These looked great on me! I was really surprised, but I loved them. Since I'm petite the fit like a regular jean length as opposed the ankle, but I'm ok with that. 

ALECIA ABSTRACT PRINT MAXI DRESS

$68.00

$68.00

The abstract print didn't line up in the back so it made half of my butt look HUGE! Disappointed because I really liked how it looked from the front and I liked the style.

BENFELD TIERED COLOBLOCKED MINI SKIRT $44.0

This looked awful on me. It made my thighs appear bigger than what the were and the top two tiers again accentuated my mommy pooch. 

NIMA SWISS DOT CINCHED WAIST SILK BLOUSE $78.0

The waist of this hit be straight where I carry all of my weight. It accentuated my mommy tummy instead of camouflage. I liked the fabric and pattern so I was really disappointed.

 Overall, I was pretty disappointed in this fix. 3 out of 5 pieces didn't fit my shape and the price of this box was more than they have been previously. BUT! The first outfit I loved so much and it really made the fix worth it. I've already scheduled my next fix. Thanks to all of y'all that used my referral link to sign up. I really appreciate it!
