  • So basically what I got was: hopefully she'll grow out of it? ๐Ÿ™‚ Good thing I have some friends nearby whose babies are not so anti-car. My crew girl friend Tracy (as opposed to my neighbor friend Tracy) who had the same due date as me brought over her little boy Lachlan (cool name, right?). I've been meaning to take pictures of them together (he was born two days before her):

    They are about the same height I think. Those tights from Sarah are still big, but I couldn't wait any longer for her to wear them, they are so cute!030209-3

    Ah ha ha ha that one totally cracks me up. They don't even acknowledge each other at all!
    030209-6

    I'm so glad my mom was there (always helping me out love you mom!) so Tracy and I got one of us with our little ones. Do they look like us? I think they look more like our husbands, but I do see bits of their mamas in there too. Oh man they are just so cute together! I can't wait to look back in a few years, I'm sure we'll have lots of them together over the years.

    And hopefully of this little guy as well:

    My friend Donna's baby was due the same time as us, but she had him just before Christmas. After this picture was taken he started fussing a little so I said, "no problem I'll pick him up" (she was holding Tuesday). OH. MY. GOD. I hope Tuesday stays small (and light) forever! William weighs almost 15 pounds to Tuesday's 9 pounds 6 ounces. I feel like she is getting so big then we get around these boys! I'm hoping she'll be able to get rough and tumble with them by the time they're crawling around.

    Ahhh total cute baby overload. ๐Ÿ™‚ And my neighbor across the street is due soon… another boy! But we'll get some girls soon; Carmen with one in May, and Karen with TWO in May.

    Oh man Tuesday is going for day three of awesome sleep! Seriously, I don't want to jinx myself but it's 9:23 and she's been in bed for an hour already. Oh and what was that? Did she nap? Yes she did… twice!
    Tutu-7

    let's look at that little chub-a-lub up close:
    Tutu-10

    I can't help it we're so new to the nap thing I needed proof. Don't tell me we're going to be up at like 4am, I plenty scared about that already.

    So since you had some great advice on that, let's tackle this:
    Tutu-12

    Miss Sparkle Pants' name could also be Miss Hates to Travel By Car, seriously. We went two places this weekend and both got us on the freeway and up to speeds that used to appease the little princess. But 65 just isn't cutting it anymore. We had to take out the nice soft bundleme padding because she was working herself up into a sweat! We've tried music, rolling down the windows, making it hot, making it cold, holding onto her arms and holding her tight, pacifiers (oh she hates these, spits out every kind we can find), rubbing her belly, and crying with her. She just can't handle it. We took down the mirror she was looking at thinking that maybe she was getting car sick (Bj gets really car sick and it is genetic). I don't know what else to do, so ideas? I can't go anywhere around town because I never get going fast enough to even have a chance. Good thing there are lots of places we can walk to!

  • With a little Tuesday thrown in…
    Spunk-1

    Because this thing called a nap? Have you heard of it? It is AWESOME!

    Now for spinners, I have this idea:
    So I just signed up for Funky Carolina's Scrappy Club where you get a bunch of her awesome fibers in a tiny little bunches. Here is an example, and here is an example of one of those bunches spun up. What I was thinking was a swap where spinners could piece off little bits of fiber from various stash bundles that they have to total up four ounces and I could randomly assign a partner to send it to. In return you'd get a four ounce bundle of different fibers to play with. That's my rough outline anyway. Anyone interested? If so I'll put together actual guidelines and a sign up. I'm interested to know how many spinners are out there anyway – hello, hello?

    Now I might as well show you some pretty fiber-goodness pictures:

    The cool half of my Spunky Eclcetic semi-solid merino sampler.

    And some batts from her shop. I've never spun batts before so I'm excited about these. Mmm they look like cotton candy to me, and I love cotton candy!
    Spunk-3

    And I got her club. I know crazy fiber around here, good thing Tuesday seems to like watching the wheel go round, for little bits of time anyway!

    Oh and one more picture of Tuesday for kicks:
    022509-1

    Sparkle pants is wearing a handknit sweater from my friend, jeans (without crotch snaps – so cute!), and foot finders. Kay I remember you getting some of these for your brother's baby in Maine. I asked you what foot finders were and you said, "Where are my feet? There they are!"
