Winter Morning
Originally uploaded by m.Lee

Been cold here in Boston this weekend. This piece seems appropriate, right type of houses (in certain neighborhoods) with the chill air breezing through. Winter is extra rough here since we do a lot more walking than in much of the rest of the US. Even if you drive places and that is something to be avoided in many cases you often can't park all the close and need to walk. The best ways to get around Boston are bike, foot, T then car. But I am too chicken to bike here much.





Pouch for mommy and one for daddy. I am completely hooked on baby wearing and find myself lurking around the internet looking at others and coveting. There is this one seller on Etsy that makes some gorgeous ones. Right now I really wish I knew how to sew because I have some fabric that would work really well. While I adore these fleece pouches for winter I just find myself wanting more. They are incredibly addictive.

Blee turns three months old in just over an hour (7:14pm)! Wow! Today we took her to the Cambridge location church and she met other friends and other babies. Tiny babies for her to devour since she is monster baby that eats small babies for snacks. Speaking of monster baby I am fearing she may be heading into another growth spurt. She's been eating tons lately. She is so much bigger it is crazy, I see little ones walking that have smaller heads and aren't that much larger than her. Of course my cousin was a big kid but she just ended up tall not overweight. I am hardly considered about baby fat, obesity on babies is extra cute!

Taking it easy Monday

Well not totally, but after the full weekend we had we aren't going anywhere tonight. We have stuff for food and Veronica Mars season 1 on DVD to watch so we aren't budging.

So far the show is pretty good, but there are certainly some holes here and there that I pick up on. And some of the cheesy is good, some not so good. Through the flashbacks it doesn't seem like she got a personality until her life got totally turned upside down. She got that and a haircut.

Between seeing friends, a mouse in our bathroom, church, picking up a replacement bouncy chair that I wish was for me and running far too many errands all three of us came home exhausted on both Saturday and Sunday. blee has been to her first noisy bar. She slept in her carseat on the floor the entire time we were there, it wasn't too long but it was impressive. Of course as soon as we got away from all the noise and were leaving that is when she woke up.



I've figured out slinging and both of us are loving it. At this time the adjustable fleece pouch is the one for us. I just slide her into it, put a hat on her and go for walks. She comes back totally asleep. And after car trips I give dad's back a break by picking her up and carrying her home in the sling instead of him dragging in the infant seat. She loves it and so does my back.

I'm going to do some light studio cleaning as I finish my coffee then do some carving. I'm working on another good sized block, the other side of the "crazy block" actually. It is a very loose unplanned piece.

Have a great Monday!
