This last weekend we took an extra day and went on a three day adventure to visit Bj's parents. Because they live a bit away this included two 4.5 hours car rides – there and back. Of course we have to stop now to feed her, but we had to stop a couple of other times to change her diaper or just sooth her a bit. She is much better in the car now that she has learned a couple of great tricks: tracking things really well and focusing on books and toys, being able to get to her fist and suck on it, and the newest of new tricks; grabbing toys. It is so beyond cute!
This toy from Sarah continues to be a favorite. Right now we have a balloon tied to it and she is so funny with the thing.
Also loving the links you use to hook toys together. My favorite funny new trick of hers:
Playing with her tongue. She makes clicky sounds with it. I sort of had her dressed like an elf this day:
It was an accident. She got hot (we have had a couple days of insanely nice weather), and she only has a few pairs of shorts that fit. I think the days of head to toe wool might be over (but not head to toe knits!). Ah sweet baby
The reason I haven't blogged by the way? This is the first time I've gotten any real time on the computer in days. She has been keeping me busy (in a good way). Today we walked to the park with grandma and a friend and had a picnic! It was so lovely. She pays more attention to the world now so everyday is more interesting than the last. But I still would like a little time on the computer ๐

I can't believe two years ago I was turning from a Miss to a Mrs. It really is crazy how time flies, huh?
Tuesday, Bj and I headed to Portland this weekend for a shower and a wedding. A baby shower for my friend who is having twin girls in a month or so. I was just stopping by with 2 before the wedding. I had to get her all dolled up of course.
I'm not a huge fan of that really soft pink, but the more hot pink I think looks pretty cute. I had her in a different outfit for the wedding, but this is the best picture I got of it:
Don't worry I'll definitely be putting her in this get up again. Bj picked out that zebra print jumper.
Tuesday did so great the whole day, and the next day. But the first night away, in the hotel, not so great. I learned a few key things, number one: bring our fan! The room was so quiet, I'm sure that's part of what kept her up until one. Little crazy bean:
Since then I've been trying to catch up. On sleep, on work, on crafting. And just being with the family. These past two years have been amazing. Difficult at times, but mostly fantastic. And now with our little daughter we couldn't think of anything better than chilling tonight having dinner with her in the bouncer near us, babbling away and tossing us those beautiful smiles. Or her new favorite look…
the "what are you doing mama?" -
Remember this yarn? I wanted to knit it up ASAP to see if I liked knitting singles, so I could see if I should spin some more. Turns out I do like knitting singles, a lot. I made up a quick little vest from a free pattern I found online. It's called the manly vest, hehehe.
I was so happy with this knit that I actually took the girl out to go look for buttons!
The trip went great!
I consider the quilt shop not walkable alone so we went in the car. I was so pleased she did not scream the whole time. So pleased that later we went through the drive through at DQ for a Blizzard, we are so brave.
Who is the cutest baby ever? Who? Ah my sweet tutu.Oh and she has a newly developing trick:
Grabbing things! Had to flash her because the swing was moving. She loves this toy from Sarah, it's perfect for her dainty little hands.I am loving each day more and more with her. You know that giddy butterfly stomach you get when you know something awesome is going to happen? I swear I feel like that every day with Tuesday. She is so sweet and I love playing with her. I love cuddling her, changing her, nursing her, bathing her. I love everything about her! I must post video soon she really is the cutest little bird ever (says her mama :).
