Welcome March

I can't believe it is March already! I am definitely excited for spring and enjoy hearing birds chirping outside. The winter has been long and cold, but what a delight to be warm inside with our little babe. Spring makes me anxious for walks outside with Addie and for her to be able to experience so many things outside. She is getting more and more curious of the world around her. I love those big eyes of hers trying to take it all in. I only wish I could know all that is going on inside that brain of hers.

I can't believe you are making me wear this hat?!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope you are all having a great V-day! Here are a few shots from the past couple weeks. Addie turns 3 months this week, which is quite exciting. She is growing more and more each and every day. We love seeing her personality evolve and watch as she learns new tricks and skills.

Adeline has picked up some new skills in the last few weeks. Smiling, cooing, and munching on her fist. We are so proud =)

2 months

Our little baby isn't so little anymore. It's hard to believe how fast the time goes. What a blessing little Addie has been to our family. She is such a good natured baby!

We had her 2 month check up today and she is doing very well. She now weighs 11lbs. and is 23in. long (both stats in the 75%). Unfortunately she had to endure a set of shots and was not too happy about that. She was also naked, tired, and hungry. All combined, make a sad sad baby! The doctor was very pleased with how well she was holding her head up and how she was making really great eye contact. Adeline, of course, flashed her a big gummy smile and that won her over as well!

Knitters Unite!

Last night I snuck out of the house on a little adventure. My Mom had informed me that a favorite author of ours was going to be speaking at my local knitters guild. I convinced my friend Sara to tag along with me, not knowing what we would encounter. After a bite to eat and a little catching up, we headed off to the meeting. The meeting started at 7pm, but on their website they said the doors opened at 6pm. We didn't know why until we arrived to a completely full parking lot!

As we entered the banquet hall we could barely find a seat among the 300+ women (and one guy). We couldn't believe it! Women young and old were waiting anxiously for the meeting to start, while furiously knitting away. The speaker, Susan Anderson, is a local author who has written three really neat books. Her blog is also a hit... www.susanbanderson.blogspot.com . Susan definitely won over the crowd with her funny stories and cute projects. She is currently on tour for her new book Itty Bitty Toys. Even though I felt silly among the expert knitters around us, I was definitely inspired to try my hand at some of those adorable toys. Here is a link to a free pattern of one of her designs (for any knitters out there)... www.petitepurls.com (go to Patterns and click on the lamb).

What a joy it is to see our lil babe work those cheeks... even at 3am!
