She has finally been given clearance to travel, and they are all coming to visit. We decided that this would be a great opportunity to have her baby shower! So, I have gotten busy and made a few things for her. I showed you about the cart cover here!
These are the 3 patterns I have chosen to follow.
Don't you love these little piggies?
Every baby needs a sun hat, especially here in California. I used ribbon instead of a Velcro strap.
I think that an eyelet bonnet should be included in every babies wardrobe!
Look at the matching butterfly buttons.
Love the ric-rac!
This is a little blankie for her to hold onto and enjoy. It is 12x12. The pink is minkie and the purple is satin!
And finally, a diaper basket made with the leftovers from her bedding. I hope that you liked this little sneak peek into Charlotte's shower gifts. I will take lots of pictures of Charlotte so that you can see how big she's getting!!
Now a few photos of Charlotte.....
This is Papa changing her diaper shortly after she was born. 2lb 2oz.
She's holding her daddy's finger! She was about 6 wks old when they dressed her for the first time.
Grammy with Charlotte.
Check out her bonnet! A tad to big HUGE, but she will get use out of it for years to come.
The table was set with the finest that I have. I loved making this bouquet for the centerpiece! I could have gone on, but I wanted to save you the boredom. This little 11 lb, blue eyed doll is safe in her own bed tonight. Thanks for letting me share the fun I have had planning this little celebration.

Praise the Lord! Our sweet Charlotte is doing so well! It is great to see her and know how far she has come. You are right! She will soon be grown into those gorgeous outfits made with love by her grandma. Those flowers are so beautiful, too. Glad to hear you had such a wonderful time with your family this weekend! Hugs!
What a spoilt little (adorable!) girl!! I love everything you made her but especially the butterfly dress set, and your sweet bouquet is beautiful! I hope you had a fantastic little celebration!
I'm so glad to hear Charlotte has grown so much and is so well! She looks adorable and she's very lucky to receive all those beautiful things you've made :)

So many cute baby things, and glad Charlotte is doing better now, my little girl Ida Charlotte is nearly the same, 5 month right now.
How lovely to have Charlotte in your family, and I really love the pretty things you've made for her! How she will love wearing them.
What a sweet little girl. Glad to hear she is doing well. Pretty things you made for her as well.
Oh what a beautiful little girl! You made some beautiful outfits for her
Charlotte is just a little darling, and the outfits you made for her are very pretty. She'll fill them out very quickly! Lovely table setting... I've no doubt everything was just perfect. Loving your bouquet!
So adorable!
What a beautiful selection of things for a beautiful little girl. How lucky you all are to have her!
Believe me, I was anything but bored reading your post and seeing all of your pictures of Charlotte. Having had a preemie myself, I have just loved seeing her progress. And with such a talented grandmother, she is sure to be the best dressed baby!
