Look at me!

Now, let me remind you that Elia is only four and a half months old. She is in SUCH a hurry to do everything! She has started to sit up! She also has her first tooth coming in. Before we know it she will be all grown up and moving out.

La Leche League picnic

This was World Breastfeeding Week and the local chapter of La Leche League had a picnic.

Elia in her Daddy chair

Several businesses made donations for a raffle. Some of my new friends here encouraged me to donate a gift certificate for a centerpiece. So I did an example of a Thanksgiving centerpiece and donated a gift certificate. Unfortunately they did not have the turn out that they expected and so the raffle was postponed for the next La Leche meeting, where we hope more woman attend. (There is a chiropractic package I really want to win! LOL) So I had hoped to advertise a little more but it was good practice and I gave the arrangement to a woman that just moved into a brand new house as a house warming gift. It also really "put it out there" and I was considered a REAL business!

Four Months old!

Elia is four months old today! She is so hilarious. Everyday she makes a new noise or does a new trick. We are enjoying every minute of it!

Turned over

This evening Josh was doing something on the computer and I was in the kitchen starting dinner. Elia was on her activity mat on her back. A few minutes passed and Josh looked over at Elia and asked "Did you put her on her tummy?"
"WHAT!" She had turned totally over and neither of us saw it. We have been so worried that she would do some big milestone while Josh was at work and he would miss it. Now we were both home and we both missed it! We spent the next several hours hoping she would do it again on her own. If we put her on her side she would turn over. Can't wait 'til we see her do it again.
It is all happening too fast. She is in such a hurry!

New flower arrangement and blog

With the loving encouragement from Josh, I have been working on a flower blog that will have pictures of my work. I am going to try and do a few arrangements every month to build up my portfolio. Hopefully I will be able to gain small accounts for dinner parties, holidays, or even small weddings. We were invited to our first baby birthday party by a mom I met in one of my "mommy and me" classes. She has twins that have turned one and it was her birthday as well so I made this arrangement for her. Hopefully if I bring enough arrangements to parties I will generate some business. I have loaded only the wedding photos so far but there are a lot more to come. Check it out.

Elia got her new crib

We finally got Elia a crib. I am freaking about the mattress off gassing and Josh just says I am being overprotective. Probably so. She is still in our room with us though. Her room is full of stuff we don't know where to store yet. We hopefully are getting some visitors soon so we need to clean that room out. Someday she will have a proper nursery....hopefully.

My new trick

This is my new trick. I like to roll over to my side too and make a noise that makes my parents laugh and smile like idiots.

Omi and Opa

The other day my Omi (Grandma) told me that if my Opa (Grandpa) was still alive, they would have been married for seventy years. My Dad told me later that every year Opa would send Omi flowers no matter where she was at the time of their wedding. 11 AM. (why so early? I have no idea) AWWW
Put that in your "pocket full of sunshine"!
