Teething Cookies!

Annabella has been teething

And since I like baking so much, I figured it was only fair that I make her cookies like I do the rest of the family!

I found this recipe

 from Chic Mommy

which has applesauce, maple syrup, and wheat flour

I ate one right after they were baked and still soft and they were pretty yummy

Annabella thinks they are pretty good too

studying the cookie

looks pretty good

think I'll do it

hmmmmm

she loves them!

And here is our picture from the apple blossom festival this weekend, please excuse the hair in my face

Fabric High Chair

I found this tutorial from this mama makes stuff about three months ago,

Annabella wasn't able to eat solid foods or sit up yet

As soon as we were old enough to start eating, I stalked my favorite craft store The Legacy in Sebastopol (where they sell recycled fabric at $2.00 a pound)

for the right fabric, and then I found about two yards of adorable green spotted prequilt.

And about four yards of a pink geranium print (how springy!)

I already had the velcro, so here is what I came up with

(excuse the messy shirt, these pics were taken post banana)

It works great

Annabella loves it because she can play with her toes

Its so small, I can take it anywhere with us!

Thanks again to this mama makes stuff

A few from this week

Realized that I've been slacking on pics of my little one lately

So here's a few from this week

I love this dress, the silk over shirt was her grandfather's. And the hat is just adorable.

She got pretty tired of mommy taking pictures

Trying to eat her turtle, and in turn she got a beard!

My little Irish potato bug, caught in the act

You'll have to excuse my messy house.

WELCOME BOBO!

hooray!

My fellow norcal mama had her baby yesterday at 12:40am!

Born 4-20-2010

8lb8oz
(whoa)

What a nice birthday

I'm so happy for Anna and Joey

Its such a wonderful thing when a close friend has a baby. Before Anna, there really hasn't been any fellow mama's that I get along with very well in my area.

But we're gonna be raging the Mercedes wagon

I've never gotten to be a mama and run errands with another mama

I know this probably sounds ridiculous, that I'm so excited to have a mom friend. I never knew how lonely being a mother could be. Even with all the support I've recieved from my friends and family. I know that things will be getting a lot easier for me in the sense that I now have someone who I can lean on

I am so excited to help Anna with Bobo, and help her with all the new baby madness. 

Another Bonus!

Now I can make two of all my baby projects!

Projects I've made/am making for Anna include

• A quilt

• Ring Sling (this was going to be a wrap, but I made myself a ring sling yesterday and I like it way more then my wrap)
• Diapers
• Wipes 
• Changing Pad

Anna is also crafty like me, I'm so looking forward to our craft days!

Or when we will have arts and crafts with our toddlers

Anyways, Congrats Anna! Congrats Joey

Here's to two of  my best friends

and to Annabella's new best friend

When you wish upon a baby carrier

You will look at it everyday, until you can afford it

I want  this Ergo Carrier so bad

My daughter is now 21 pounds, and my wrap carrier just doesn't do the same job as it used to

I only weigh 95 pounds

I also like the thought that Ryan would also wear this one, the wrap seems to be too girly for him.

It also has a sold seperatly backpack attachment $48

this velcros to the straps and makes the carrier into a backpack with a baby!

And of course I always love the idea of a fanny pack $22.00

this straps onto the front of the carrier, and would be great for my cell phone and wallet

The changing pad comes with lots of pockets and  a waterproof bag, to put soiled items $46

Right now the carrier is $110

Mother's day is coming up....

::Ahem::

hopefully somebody has been reading my blog.
