Night Nurse

giraffe sweater: down east basics (only $12 right now!)   shorts: loft  sandals: target

The night times have definitely been the most stressful part of my day since having Addilyn.  She would much prefer to be held all night.  Which is why I am so thankful for my dad.  The last three Saturday nights he's come over to my house around 11 and just stays in our living room holding Addilyn.  She doesn't seem to care to sleep before midnight so he holds her until she falls sleep, stays with her and then brings her into me when she needs to eat.  He even changes her diaper, gets her swaddled up again and puts her back to sleep and stays till about 4 or 5 in the morning. 
He is like the baby whisperer.  I jokingly called him my night nurse after the first time and I only wish that he was there every night!  It has definitely been a huge blessing to get a few good hours of sleep and not have to worry if she is happy and being taken care of.

Happy Wednesday!

High Five for Friday

dress: Eshaki   shoes: gap  necklace: ebay  jean jacket: old navy 

1.   I won this dress from eshaski from a giveaway on my good friend Alison's blog.
This is the first time I've wore it and I have to say I that I LOVE that it has pockets, but I don't love the length.  I feel like dresses this length make me look short.
I'm trying to figure out other ways to wear it.  Especially in the cooler weather!
Suggestions? 

2.  We have been taking advantage of the start of Fall with some delicious Fall foods. 

Like grilled sandwiches, chili and caramel apple cake. 

3.  As the weather gets cooler, I'm excited about getting out some of my Fall shoes.  I can easily spend a good amount of time browsing through womens shoes online looking for ones I want.  I see bloggers wearing cute Fall wedges all the time, and I want to copy!
Here's a pair I wouldn't mind owning:

                                                                    wedges shoes                                                             

4. Let's just start this number by saying how much I love the show Parks and Recreation. 

And am so happy it started last week.  

Ann was wearing this owl print shirt  in the episode and I want it. 

I clearly still have an obsession with animal printed things.  

5.  I have big hopes of going to the pumpkin farm this weekend. 

Eating apple donuts.  Drinking apple cider. 

And taking pictures.  

Here's a favorite from two years ago.  

and now I kind of miss my blond hair.  

Happy weekend friends!
