This is What Six Months Can Do To A Baby

He will be in no time, as big as his *almost* 4 year old sister. Fieldin will be 6 months in 2 days. It has flown by and we have a plump happy baby to show for it. I think I know his recipe for happiness. Lots of laughter, love, kisses, LOTS of food and special time with his best friend Greta. Can't wait to see how this picture looks in 6 more months.....

Does This Look Like Spring To You?

Things I Am Lovin' Right Now Part II

It has been a bit crazy around here this week so my brain is a bit scattered but thought I would share more things I am lovin'. Feel free to contribute what you love, because I am sure I will love it too...

1. Making cards. Right now, vintage Easter cards.
2. Going paper-free. I am on day one. Let me tell you, it isn't easy. I am still feeling ambitious and so happy to throw away all the post-its taking over our kitchen. The test is if I miss an appt or playdate next week. I will keep you posted...but not with a post-it, you know what I mean.
3. Greta's watercolor paintings.
4. Fieldin's chubby thighs, funny laugh and blossoming personality. (wait that was three things)
5. Jeff and Gretas apple cake. Those two can bake!
6. Sunlight bringing the neighbors outside to catch up and admire each others growing kids.
7. Fieldin sleeping through the night.
8. Me and my rainboots in our muddy tulip beds.
9. Any time I have with my Greta. Just her and I. The time is hard to find most days and I miss her. Very Much. I miss you too, Jeff.
10. Vanilla soy milk. I may stray, but I always come back to you soy milk.

Ginger Will Be Here Soon

Not much going on here. In between the spring cleaning, the playdough bead making(and drying) and the daily visits to the backyard tulip beds we are hearing Miss Greta talk ALOT about the near arrival of Ginger. Greta has talked about Ginger for the last 2 years and "Gingeritis" always starts up right about...now. Every year we forget who Ginger is, but we are quickly reminded. Ginger is the Easter bunny. I probably forget this because the Easter Bunny, I mean Ginger, never let me drop the formalities and be on a first name basis. Honestly, I just cared about the peeps and chocolate eggs and never got to know the bunny. I am not sure when the name exchange happened but Greta has been saying kind things about Ginger since she turned two. We are eagerly awaiting your arrival Ginger and Greta has been watching the tulips grow. Because when the tulips bloom that means you will soon be here.....

Hi Spring. Nice To See You Again.

Hello Spring. We waved hello to you this morning or at least Fieldy did. At 5 1/2 months he chose the first day of spring to start waving. Very cute. We started the morning watching the puzzle prodigy do her magic and took a trip to the backyard to photograph our emerging bulbs. We didn't forget our Friday trip to feed the animals with a basket of bread, broccoli and apples.
Happy Spring everyone!! Check out Fieldins new spring hat picked out by daddy and Greta. He LOVES his new hat. Now we just need to find a spring bonnet for Miss Greta.
