[Delilah & her many beautiful blankets]



Four weeks old.




I put my foot down and took my camera out to take a few shots of my Lilah Bear. We're definitely experiencing 2nd child syndrome over here.... When Simon was 4 weeks old, we'd already accumulated hundreds (seriously) of pictures of him. Delilah has only a few.... but hopefully I'll make more of an effort to take photos of her in this precious newborn stage. She's already changed so much!!

I wanted to dedicate a blog post to some beautiful gifts that Delilah has received... blankets! I love them all so much, and I know she's going to appreciate them when she's old enough to know the work and thoughtfulness that went into each of these gorgeous blankets.

This one is a quilt from Ryan's Grandma. She told me "It's quilted by hand you know, it's much softer when it's quilted by hand."
This one is knit by Ryan's aunt Audrey. I love it! I'm a little jealous, I'd love one of these big enough for me! lol. I love the color block design.
My Grandma had one of her friends quilt this blanket for Delilah, it's adorable.
The lovely Rachel Denbow made this quilt, and I love the vintage florals so much.
My good friends Jenna & Anita made this quilt, and it was the first quilt they've ever made! How special is that?! The fabrics are so cool, and the little "fawn" detail to go with her name is super cute. (not pictured, oops)
A big thank you to those who worked so hard to make a special gift for my baby girl. XO

Some link love for your friday:

and a great DIY crocheted blanket by the talented Dottie Angel.


Happy Weekend!!
