ulgh, besides a delicious lunch out with liz (which was awesome)... its totally been one of those days! Its rainy outside, so i cant take dixie for a walk, and shes going stir crazy. Shes been naughty all day, sean is working, and i am thus left to deal with her crabbiness alone. Nothing will soothe her little soul, not even my boobies. I am so ready for today to be over!

ok, i admit it. I broke down and reconnected my cable. I just cant live without 16 and pregnant. its seriously the best show on tv. those poor young girls all knocked up. i totally feel for them.

ps- my nike group got in!! yippeee!!!

We Moved!

WE're now in a 2 bedroom/2bath on the main floor at our same complex. Its only been a couple of days, but it is fantastic!! I cant even fathom hauling dixie up 3 flights of stairs ever ever again! This is the life man! Our complex has really nice gardening and a nice outdoor pool, so its going to be so nice playing in this summer with dixie. Now to buy some water wings so we can swim together-oh so exciting.

SO yes, we have more room. I can breath again, and im not constantly tripping over things. I even cooked dinner last night vs. cheap take out food, becuase i have the space! I feel like freakin betty crocker. Life is good.

XOXO

WELCOME LITTLE ADA ROSE WERNER

Dixie is really excited to be joined by her little cousin Ada who entered the world a few days ago. Additionally, she found out that she will have a little boy cousin who we are expecting to join us near the end of the summer, compliments of Terry and Michelle.

Proud Papa Rob holding his little girl. It is hard to believe that only four months ago, Dixie was this small.

Just another Manic Monday

This is Dixie's most common positon lately- stuck on her tummy because she's rolled over and cant roll back. Hopefully she'll learn how to roll from tummy to back soon- shes one frustrated little lady! Eden- can you please come over and teach her how to roll the other way?

Dixie's second favorite activity next to walks outside is Bathtime! I recently purchased this PERFECT bath seat. So much better than the external kiddie tubs that just make a mess of water on your counter and take a long time to fill up and put away, i know, i have one of these as well. This little goodie was $10 on craigslist- best ten bucks i've spent on dixie yet! It just sits inside the regular tub- no prep or clean up necessary, and it perfectly positions dixie so shes in a relaxing position and can kick to her hearts delight.

The next 2 pics are of the new slipcovers i made for my glider and
ottoman. They took freakin forever to sew, especially since i didnt have
a pattern, and since i only get to sew after Dixie is asleep. Please Note
that my first sewing class EVER was Jan 2010, so im a novice sewer, and there are many areas of improvement to be made. However, I did learn how to sew piping and
zippers with this project, and I learned the importance of percise
measurements. The footstool slipcover is a very loose fit ( my first try), whereas
the back cushion is nice and tailored (my last one). Dont you just LOVE the fabric?? It's from Amy Butler's latest spring line up. I wanted to make kitchen curtains out of it, but Sean said it was too "Gay". I dont care... i LOVE it!

This is me and Dixie- doing what we do every day, three times a day- walking outside in the baby bjorn. Did I mention that the Baby Bjorn is the only way this child will travel? The stoller is no longer good enough- shes needs to be front and center of all the action. It was pouring rain outside the last 2 days and shes going insane inside. So i just suited up for the weather and out we went. THanks auntie nunu for the fabulous baby uggs- we've made good use of them in the rainy weather! (if i knew how, i would have cropped me and my double chins out of this picture. Dixie is so much cuter)

Oh, and we also had dixie's 4 month appointment last week. She is now 14.1lbs (60%), 25inches long (78%)--- I wonder if shes going to be tall?

DIXIE MAE DISPLAYS HER ATHLETIC PROWESS

My baby girl is growing up oh so fast! Here she is showing off her latest trick- rolling over! She's just shy of 4 months, so i think shes right on track with her development. Its really funny bc she can only roll from back to belly, but not from belly to back (yet), so she gets frustrated when shes stuck on her tummy, and yelps for help. I love this sweet girl!

Dixie's first Easter!

Easter 2010 was such a blast! We travelled via plane (aka time machine) up to my sister B's house. She lives in a tiny washington town that feels like America 50 years ago. It is quite refreshing visiting there, enjoying the simple things and enjoying nature. We got to play and play with our cute neices and nephew- they are all just soooo adorable, and they were so cute playing with baby Dixie, smothering her with kisses and love- she enjoyed every second of it. I also got to cut lots of hair, do arts and crafts with Eden, and chat with my sisters N & B! My brother even came up as a surpise, and it was SO NICE to see him again FINALLY. I havent seen him since Poo's wedding, 2 years ago!!! ( Brother- please come to SF this summer to visit. We can mountain bike, hike, and go to tons of movies- pretty please :) Oh, and did i mention that my sister betina is the best cook ever! Everything she makes is from scratch and it is oh so delicious (and healthy too!). My papa made the drive up from SL- thanks for coming daddy dear! And a big thanks to Betina for hosting, making delicious food, and taking cute pics of my baby!
