Matchy-Matchy: Mommy and Me DIYs

Happy Mother's Day!!  Hope all you mothers out there have a wonderful day!  The morning of Mother's Day 2009, I received the best present ever - our baby boy was born (3 weeks early) so that I could officially be a Mommy.  This Mother's Day, I get to celebrate with 2 children and I feel so very blessed :)

My kiddos <3
E in a Mommy-made navy gingham dress to match my Crewcuts gingham shirt

Both of us in our skirts.  I LOVE her little Popeye forearms :)

Matching polka dot skirts

Pleating

Baby dress and Mommy skirt

 Rick-rack to add a little something to her dress

Matching striped belts

Many more to come!

And I'll leave you with my favorite Baby moments:
  • When she cups my face with both little hands and stares deep into my eyes, I feel like she's saying, "I love you, Mommy"  (I'll note here that hubby rolled his eyes when I told him this)
  • Kissing those chubby cheeks and seeing her smile as I do so
  • Her laugh out loud occasions
  • Seeing her get a kick out of blowing raspberries and getting spit everywhere
  • When she follows her big brother around with pure love in her eyes and a giant grin on her face
  • When big brother pats her on the arm and says, "It's ok, mui mui (little sis in Cantonese)" to comfort her during cranky moments
    • Or when he insists on holding his baby sister because he loves her
How are you celebrating Mother's Day?

    I wish I had half of your sewing talent =) Those matching clothes are adorable. Motherhood is hard work but I wouldn't do it any other way. Your kids are super adorable. We're getting ready to take my Mom to brunch then spend the day with her and the rest of the family. Happy Mother's Day to you!

    Awwww, this is too cute! You have lovely kids. My daughter is now all grown up and my little boy is no longer a baby (11 and 7 yrs old). I love them more than anything. Those baby to toddler years are the best I have to say. Happy Mother's day to you too! :)

    Oh my gosh, your little E is sooo bright eyed and adorable! I could just eat up those popeye arms ;). I'm sure she's saying "I love you" as she cuddles your face too!!! LOVE the mommy + me creations. They are totally appropriate for mommy and yet cute for baby! Love that gingham dress! You are such a pro with the sewing machine! I had a lovely Mommy day. Hope yours was great too!

    Awwwww....how adorable are your two little ones! Actually, I had no idea you're a mom until recently. Didn't think you're old enough to be a mom so I had a mini shock when I found out.

    Ahhhh! The gingham dress makes an appearance! I LOVE IT. I'm not sure if I like that more or the polka dots. Gosh, I'm such a sucker for prints on navy and white.

    Happy belated mother's day, SPG!
