She is our little Glow worm, but we got her her very own vintage Glo Worm too.
Naturally, we couldn’t resist getting her this. I had a glo worm as a child and Ben and I loved the look of the vintage ones much better than the new ones, so I stalked a few auctions on ebay to get one (surprisingly they go for a whole lot and I was in a bidding war to get them). Actually, I not only got one, but two (I am good at ebay), to make sure at least one worked. We wanted her to be able to hug it later and have fun seeing it light up! After all, that is what helps make this little worm so darn adorable.
I can’t wait until she can play with it. Actually, I can. I love her being so little and since she is our last, we are soaking up every minute of this newborn-ness before it’s gone. Plus, she is already a month old! Can you believe it?!! And I did indeed take her chair picture yesterday to mark the occasion (and I am almost done writing her birth story, so hopefully that will be up next week).
If you are interested, since I bought two and both work, I am selling the other one in my shop here. It works and is washed and ready to be loved!
Be back later with my week’s huzzahs and tomorrow, but I am going to keep the raffle giveaway going one more day, so you still have a chance to donate and I will announce the winner of the dollhouse pillow tomorrow. Thank you so much to all who have tweeted, blogged, facebooked and donated thus far. It is so very much appreciated by me and the Martinez family.
Oh my goodness, sweet sweet child!!!
My little brother had also one. Love it! He is now 24 years old and i don't know where the worm is. Have to ask him!

Have you ever thought of doing a tutorial for the swaddling you do on Glow? is this something Filipino people do? (i hope not to offend with this question. if i am, please forgive me.)
best post and pictures ever!
awwww….love it! We got the Chitlin a new mini version and she loves it! We can hear her in the middle of the night playing with it in her crib. It just melts my heart and makes me smile. =)
These pictures are darling! So cute. Congratulations on your sweet baby girl!
I've been catching up on your blog and am loving your baby blankets (green and gray) — and I'm wondering where I can find some? I'm due for my fourth child next year and I love the colors!

P.S. You look fabulous — and I can't believe you just had a baby!
Now I'm just dying to have another baby. Hopefully our third will come by adoption though.

That is adorable! I loved my glo worm when I was little. 🙂 Your family is so beautiful 🙂
I had a glo worm!! Extreme nostalgia lol
I am so happy that skunk boy creatures featured your blog today! I followed your blog YEARS ago and something happened to my blogger and all my blogs deleted. I can't believe you have another adorable baby!!! Congratulations!
Wau!!! Incledible eyes!!!!
I had the same Glow Worm when I was little! It was such a source of comfort in those big bad scary nights!
xx.
I love the vintage Glo Worm. Checked out the new ones and darn it! Why do they have to make a girl and boy version? They totally cheapened the whole thing. Love that you found a vintage one!
rubyellen, your babies are just so gorgeous. little glow is perfect. i love your blog, and you and rachel have inspired me to dress my seven month old, evie, in vintage. i am always showing my husband your vintage here, vintage there posts and oohing and ahhing over them!
p.s. – do you mind sharing where you found glow's swaddle blankets? they're so adorable and would make perfect baby shower gifts. thanks!
I want to know what you would've named a boy baby 🙂
I love your creativity…have been so curious!
(you know, since you are “done” and all…)
Aww,I had one when I was in fourth grade that I loved sleeping with and lighting up when I couldn't sleep….it was one of my fave toys that comforted me when we had to live with my grandparents for a while and slept in the bed my mom slept in as a little girl.Glow worms are awesome and I agree that those are better than any newer ones. 🙂
Omg, that is just too stinkin' cute! She's a beautiful little glow worm :)!
Awesome photo! they're the same size!! super cute!
I want to squeeze her (nicely). She's so beautiful! ALL OF YOUR KIDS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!
<3
So cute! I still have my Glo worm from the 80s and now my 5 year old son sleeps with it every night and ?LOVES it!!!! So happy I kept it. Ellen
