This crazy thing we call life...

I have a to-do list as long as my arm, but I am taking time to sit down and write since it has been FOREVER since I last blogged.  Let's see what has happened since then...I survived a crazy two weeks at work at the end of July, Easton started crawling and is now trying to walk, we took Kinnley school clothes shopping for her first day of school (eek...tears will be flowing Monday morning!), and we have started peewee cheer practice (yes, I am the coach & no, I didn't think that through fully before I said I would do it).

So...with that being said, I have to show you what I found for Easton Wayne!  My little man has become a blankie, passy kind of guy.  When I registered for my baby shower I found a four pack of swaddling blankets by a brand named aden + anais.  They are made from muslin material and the more you wash them, the softer they get.  They are larger than receiving blankets and thinner.  They are cool enough for the summer, but warm enough for the winter.  I LOVED these from the get-go.  They were big enough to swaddle Easton as he got bigger and were great to use as a nursing cover.

Easton has grown attached to his 'blankies' and we usually carry one with us at all times.  Now that he is getting bigger and moving around more in his bed, I was wanting to stop giving him the blankies, but he would cry for one.  So, I went to the Aden + Anais website and found these...



 They are called Issies!  They are the security blankets made out of the same muslin material with a satin edge.  They come in a two pack, one for snuggling while the other is being washed...genious!!  They are the perfect size and exactly what I needed.  It is the same quality and softness as the larger blankets, but in a smaller size.  As soon as Easton got his hands on one, he started chewing on the corners...I think that was his way of saying he loved it.

Aden + Anais not only have swaddle blankets and 'issies', they also have washcloths, towels, sleeper sacks, and bibs.  I love the material and will definately be keeping these blankets and issies for a long time!  You can find them on facebook under aden + anais and on the internet here.

Have a great Thursday tomorrow!
