  • I don't think Tuesday quite knows what to do with herself in this heat (high 70s). She's developed a coping mechanism:
    Sun-1
    heheh she's quite proud of it:
    Sun-2
    Okay maybe I just blew a raspberry on her tummy. It's hard to resist!
    Sun-4
    Especially when she pulls her dress up for me. I should say tunic since all dresses on Tuesday are ultra short due to her LONG torso. When she was fussy today my mom said it's because she didn't know what do with herself with out a hat on. Don't worry… I got her a sun hat ๐Ÿ™‚

    In other news we went to our bradley birthing class reunion. But I forgot to get permission to show all the super cute babies, so you'll just have to take my word that taking those classes makes you have a cute baby! And I've been working for days and days on this:
    Sun-6
    I still have to get the details on Ravelry, but basically this is the height of my spinning so far. A navajo 3-ply that is very fine. A fingering or sockweight yarn. Each ply was as thick as a sewing thread. What posessed me to do this, I don't know. I have no idea what I'm going to make with it, but I think I need to go spin some bulky yarn now.

  • I've been not so great at doing tummy time with Tuesday, and was feeling pretty guilty about that. I finally found a place to do it that she seems to like, by putting her on our bed and sitting on the floor in front of her. I do it other times as well, but this definitely gives me the cutest view.

    Hi Tuesday! Look how strong you are.
    Tummy time-3
    And what cute noises you make.
    Tummy time-6
    What's that?
    Tummy time-9
    You love puppies? Who doesn't my love, who doesn't?

    She seems to have survived the lack of tummy time. And this mama will do better now that I have it figured out!

    Oh my goodness Tuesday has started this pre-talking babbling thing and it is so cute I could just die! We got a little bit on video so I'll have to see if Bj can get it online. That is a new development as of today. I am reminded that I should write this kind of thing down on the calendar a friend got us, but the thing is I never remember. It is a good thing I have the blog. I do still want to do a blub book of my four years of blogging (oops I forgot the anniversary of it this year). Anyway back to what's happening now.

    Yesterday for easter we went over to my mom's where we were joined by my grandma. Check it out three generations:
    Easter-2
    Hmmm we should have got one with my mom in it, we'll have to try again. My grandma did point out to me that I have very few pictures on the blog with Tuesday and Bj. He is always working during the hours of good light. Now that it's staying lighter later I hope to change that. Tutu hung out in her favorite place at my mom's:

    The awesome vintage buggy from our friend Chris. My mom likes to put Tuesday in there and coo at her:

    I think Tuesday likes that too.

    The main thing I had to do this weekend was all my tax stuff. Ugh. I always wait until the last minute. My accountant actually called me at home on Saturday. I was working on Quickbooks when he called and I told him so. I think he probably though, "ya right." But I did manage to drop everything off this morning. Phew. So I was finally able to take a picture of the yarn I made up for an hourglass sweater:

    I already started knitting it up while Sparkle Pants was sleeping on my lap, but now I'm re-thinking my needle choice. I think the fabric I'm getting might be too dense. I also want to start something with this yumminess:

    Mmm it's so soft (rav link).

    Mr. Purple. A new friend from papa. I keep it on my bed to keep her busy while I take pictures of the fiber yumminess.
