The main reason for not blogging has been the whole having a baby and not getting much free time really. Nothing more exciting than that. Tuesday and I have been trying to figure out when and how she sleeps best and the results are still up in the air, which means neither one of us is getting as much as we should. I'm wearing her right now during what should be her morning nap, but she's currently craning her neck around to see what I'm up to. She nurses and is so so sleepy after so I lay her down, but she protests, and loudly and will not go back to sleep. In the afternoon it's much the same, except sometimes she just ups and takes a nap:
And looks so cute out here next to my mom's pool napping in the breeze for TWO hours that I could just die. And I think, what was I talking about? But the next day it's the same. And if she was happy go lucky all day and didn't need any sleep that would be fine, but more often than not I've got a cranky pants on my hands and we don't get a lot done. Speaking of my sparkly girl, she requests I not sit still any longer! Move, mama, move!

Besides the text sometimes coming out wonky I love being able to instantly post photos from my phone. I’ve been back through them recently and often forget about the little moments I was trying to capture. This is from our drive yesterday. I think I need to make this girl a baby friendly scrapbook, she loves looking at photos… and sometimes eats them ๐

Argh, the second time making this post, darn you internet and your weak signal!
So this last week Tutu and I have been hanging out with lots of our friends big and small. At the beginning of the week we got together all of the Capricorn babies (all born with in two weeks of each other and were due on the same day) for pictures. Most turned out like this:
So funny and cute. Isn't that always the way with pictures of lots of kids together? We did get some good ones though:
(from the left: William, Tuesday, and Lachlan) Later we all went to the park for a picnic lunch and ending up hanging out for hours. The weather was perfect and the kids loved it:
Karen was also with us, along with her beautiful little girls. Four weeks old and she is already going on adventures with them, rock on Karen! They are not quite as mobile of course, so we didn't want our crazy five month olds mixing it up with them yet.
Mama baby love! The girls are chillin right behind Lachlan and Tracy in their mega stroller.
Donna holds one of them while William rests. Sorry Karen I need to get better at capturing your sweet girls. Goodness knows it goes fast! The next day we were lucky enough to have my friend Beachwood come down and visit with us:
We love you Katie!!! And I love that T-shirt, I put it on her pretty much whenever it's clean:
Of course all this merriment wears a girl out, so we sleep while we can:
Speaking of crazy sleepers (she throws her head back like this every night – even when swaddled!) I have to start the next project:
A bumper for the crib – yes crib! She's outgrowing the sweet little cradle. So we went today to pick out a crib. I am going to make an effort to get the nursery done up all extra cute soon and give you all a little tour of it. I have some cute ideas. Right now I'm off to clean up the craft den before any cute little fingers find their way to not so cute paper piercers!
