We’re getting ready to welcome the first baby into the immediate family.  I have 2 sisters, one older, one younger, and the older isn’t even remotely interested in having children, and I am busy moving about the country and things like that. So we left it up to the youngest.  Never one to disappoint, my little sister announced the future arrival of Little Baby B shortly after I moved to TX.  I just headed back to STL to help put on the awesome Owl/Fall themed shower.  It was all sorts of adorable. Just some of the shots from the party below! And check out the awesome owl quilt my Great Aunt Vicki stitched up.  Amazing, right?

And goodness, when did baby clothes and toys get so fantastically cute? My sister received so much fantastically cute stuff at her baby shower last weekend. I literally almost died from cuteness overload.  There were a few themes, though: elephants, owls and guitars.  And you better believe this little fella will turn out to be a rocker.  I got him the guitar pillow below to be sure of it. I did a little last minute shopping at City Sprouts in the St Louis Loop and after I spotted it, I simply couldn’t leave without purchasing it.

Lately I’ve been digging the dreamy and psychedelic sounds of the girl band Warpaint.  It is also quite fitting for this post that they sing a song called “Baby”.   The four girls originate from SoCal, and their songs are restless and even grungy at times, but definitely worth a listen.
