It's only my first week back at work & I'm exhausted! Who knew opening up a new store was so much work? ;)
No, but honestly, it has been so much fun. Today I got to learn visual merchandising & how to put THE cutest outfits together. DYING! I was giddy all day.
Here is a sneak peek of the baby display that I got to design myself!

However, I'm not so sure Sophia shares my excitement. She has been acting a little odd around me since I started. The first day, she cried when I tried to hold her as soon as I got home. Is that normal? I thought she'd be running towards me the second I walked in the door. Obviously, I'm still upset about it. And then she has randomly decided to bring crawling back into the mix. She hasn't crawled since she was 11 months. I'm not really sure what is going through her mind.
She has been doing some super cute stuff though. I've been teaching her to cover her mouth when she sneezes. So far, she covers her mouth when she fake sneezes. And forgets what to do when it is for real. Silly girl.
Sophia has also picked up two new phrases: "what's that" (pronounced watsdat) whenever she points at something & "oh dear" (odea) for when she drops, or rather throws, something on the ground.
Oh and somehow she has more energy than ever. She's energyenergyenergy in a tiny little package. Sophia runs laps around the couch & squeals every time she sees one of us.
She continues to copy what she sees around her. I make her stuffed animals clap & she'll make them do the same. Then, grinning, she will look to me for approval. It's adorable. I can't get enough of her.
She also tries to wear my bobby pins. She'll take them out of my hair and push it against her forehead thinking that's enough to make them stay. She doesn't give up or get frustrated each time it falls...I like her "I'll just try again" attitude. Babies are pretty cool like that. I hope she never loses that determination.
And according to Johnny, Sophia now puts the phone up to her ear and "talks." I can't wait to see if for myself :)

I could go on all day about her, so I'll just leave you with a picture.
P.S. I need to improve my Sophia photo taking skills. Any tips?
Those clothes, circus peanut??? Adorbs!!! I am rediculous with taking pics of B- pot of coffee seems to get my photography thinking cap on with him! He will let me doll him up and occasionally do an impromptu shoot! Catch them when they are really into something and use the filters! They make so pretty:) but really I'm obsessed w pic taking:)
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I'm seriously going to go broke from all the cute outfits Peek offers. And I'll definitely keep at the photo taking :)
DeleteDo you love work!? Looks like it's going well, love the display you made - Sophia will be the best dressed little lady now ;)
ReplyDeletePS- My Sofia acts the same way when I go to pick her up from work, she clings on to whoever is watching her :(

Hello Newlywed Life Blog
I'm absolutely loving it right now!! And I'm definitely going to be broke working here. I want EVERYTHING for Sophia.
DeleteAnd I hate that! Everyone always says that they'll be so happy to see you after work. Makes me a little sad :(
Love your display! I want everything from there! I wish I could here her say, oh dear! Lol! I hope she's gets back to her normal self. And with the pics, if you have an iPhone I'd say just make sure their really in focus ya know tap on the screen where you want it focused (usually the eyes) and hold it steady or push the camera button down on the screen but don't release your finger until you want to snap the pic. Try to find a lot of light. The pics always turn out the best! Love ya girl!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm pretty sure we can take phone orders & ship it to you :) And I'll try to get a video of her saying oh dear. She just usually stops doing anything cute when she sees the iPhone or camera come out. But I'll keep your tips in mind. Thanks and love ya too!!
DeleteHow am I following your insta but not your blog? Oops!
ReplyDeleteOh life is SO busy for you! But that store looks adorable! How fun! And I don't know what to tell you about Sophia. I went back to work in the very beginning and Mia has only started showing excitement when I get home the last monthish.
It's so hard to get pictures of our babes once they become mobile! Mia doesn't have time to take a good picture these days, ha! Oh and you totally have the best dressed baby in the social media world :)
Thank you Courtney. You are so sweet :)
DeleteJust came across your blog, it is adorable (& so is your daughter!) New follower :)

Thank you! And thank you for checking out my blog :)
DeleteShe's the cutest! I think it's normal. I remember when my son was just three months old when I had to put him in daycare and the first day when I got home he cried when I held him and I read that I guess it's their own way of showing you they missed you? It broke my heart but it got better and now he's 8 months and lights up when I get home! So don't worry mama I'm sure it's just a weird little phase. She misses you but she will adjust! :)
