Showered with Love.

Today was one of three baby showers little DLR has. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. There were so many people that loved and supported us- laughing, telling stories, playing games and eating food. It was a beautiful Saturday, indeed. Even the sun decided to come out and play for the afternoon.

We are still sorting out the tons of photos from today, and will hopefully have some video footage of all the (ADORABLE) onesies, tutus, sandals, bouncers, tubs and everything our little girl could have possibly ever wanted or needed.

My family is so hilarious- and creative! My mom and aunt put together the most gorgeous decorations that could seriously be right out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Not even kidding. All I'm saying is... we Votta's definitely know how to party. I had such a wonderfully long day of driving, middle school musicals and parties. I'll leave you with a few photos from today's shower before I turn in for the night.

We had such a wonderful time and are more than grateful for all the gear we've gotten so far. It's so great knowing our little girl will be brought into the world with open arms and a lot of style.

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible. I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa. Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit. I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure. Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ? It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013." SOFIA: You are my goofy child, my prankster. You are the spitting image of your Papa, though every now and again I find some piece of myself in you and it makes me pause. You are my lover, and you are my fighter. You greet me in the morning with sweet, breathy kisses that only the mouth of a little girl can give. I hope you will look back on this blog and find strength when you're feeling kicked-down, confidence when you're doubting your abilities, and daily reminders of how much love we have for you, for our home, for our marriage, for this little life we've made. I am thankful for every day I get to be your mum, and you are certainly becoming the most beautiful soul I could have hoped to raise. This photo was a stand-out favorite, but you can find more from our day here . TAKING PART IN THE 52 PORTRAIT SERIES | STARTED BY: CHE AND FIDEL
