beach baby


Whale Cupcakes, originally uploaded by eabryant.

what's better than a week at the beach? getting adorable gifts for your baby at the beach! that's what! david's mom and sisters threw me a beautiful baby shower during their family reunion at pacific beach with all his aunts and cousins. they were all very generous and I'm so grateful to have such cute things to wrap, dress, clean, feed and cuddle my baby in when he comes! the shower was altogether wonderful to every detail. proof:

let’s start with those adorable mini cupcakes beth made you already saw and these adorable whale cookies as a thank you.

  7. Liz, OK I will trade baby gear for photo tutorials from you. Those pictures were awesome and look oh, about one gazillion times better than the ones that I took with my camera. What are your secrets?!

    And I agree..your hair is cute and you look radiant.

  9. that shower was divine. I'm still dreaming about that creme brulee cake...the lighting was naturally perfect for the shower, too--sunset-y and warm. I can't wait to see Little Man dressed up in some of his darling duds.
