All Ready for Winter

I am seriously addicted now...must. knit. something. else.

A Hat!

almost. I ran out of yarn. So it will be scrappy...




"what's that? a hat!
crazy funky junky hat.
slept in? hair unsightly?
trying to look like Kiera Knightly?
we've been there. we've done that.
we see right through your
funky hat" (I watch way too much Disney Channel)

She Makes Me Smile

YUMMO!

Leftover daddy-made Indian food is nom nom nom. (She actually says that now!)
Saffron Rice and Yellow Dal.

Crazy Kitten

Picked Up Knitting Again Yesterday

Hopefully this will be a hat...

D Has Been Cranky Today

I wonder if her Crankypants have anything to do with it...


Flirting with the puppies...or just rubbing it in that she's the one inside?

9month Portraits

Picture People doesn't do CDs, so this is as good as it gets. I love their packages. Always so classy.

I Love Sunday Mornings

Because we usually clean on Saturdays, so on Sunday, everything is right with the world.
And then we make breakfast with eggs and "sausage".

Baby Gate

We went to Babies-R-Us yesterday and got a babygate for the top of the stairs now that Delilah is moving everywhere. It didn't come with instructions and I was too lazy to look them up online so I decided to spend about 3 hours figuring it out, putting countless holes in the wall that I will have to patch when we move, only to realise that the wall won't support the weight of the door. So we had to make a trip to Home Depot this morning to get wall anchors. After not having the right size drill bit and having to improve with a screw driver, I finally got it up. The fruits of my labour:

Delilah sleeping

This is a picture of Delilah 2 hours after she went down for bed. So cute in a why won't you go to bed kind of way...

Why We Joke...

...that her daddy is the mailman.
redhair and mommy's fondness for mail.
A pumpkin set for my November baby from Rock Star Knits.

independence

Delilah likes playing in the hallway now. And because she is especially fond of pulling up on the stair banisters, I have to be following her 24/7.

Naptime

shhh...mommy is actually getting things done!

Mail!

Got pretty mail today!
An Ella Elephant stickypeas prefold, Cat in the Hat and Ella Elephant Mutts, and a beautiful clip homemade with love by my friend, Kristi.
Yes, we have a thing for pink elephants in this family--well, all elephants!







I tried it on too.

First Words

Kee-Caa









Daa

Campaigning in Rehoboth

We added another state to D's list--Delaware. She rode the carousel and a train at Funland and showed off her teeshirt on the boardwalk.

Joy

She's a Mover and a Shaker

She is actually much better than this as of a couple days ago--hands and knees!

Pediatrician Appointment

20lbs 4oz
29in

no hassle about solids, vax, iron or vitamin D!

Success!!!

and just because...

Plastic Monstrosity

I have tried my damndest to avoid plastic-BPA-China-cancer-toy crap, but we decided D needed a table for pulling up on after she loved the one at her friend Kendall's birthday party.



So we got her this FisherPrice one. She loves it almost as much as we do. (wheee!!! smooth banana! lumpy berries!)

Bedtime Traditions

We finally have a bedtime routine. Daddy is in charge of most of this since Daddy is the current favorite.
We brush D's teeth with her Earth's Best flouride-free baby toothpaste.
Then we strip her and go for a run yelling, "nakie baby! nakie baby!"
That gets her happy enough to get on her night time diaper and pjs with no tears.
Then we NAK (nurse at keyboard) to sleep.

She still sleeps with us.



I want to incorporate a story with Daddy in there somewhere also.

Reminiscing

I was realising today that she is so much closer to a year old and toddlerhood than she is to these pictures.

7 weeks old



2months old
