Groupie


My dad plays in a band back in my hometown.. He's always been a musician and I can remember tagging along to random, um, nightclubs, during daylight hours as a kid when he would have practice. :) Don't tell my mom...

Anyway, when I discovered I was pregnant the first time, I made little onesies for each of our parents as our way of sharing the news. I thought the one I made for my dad and step-mom was pretty cute:


I just remembered a little while ago that they had this, so they sent it our way to get some pictures of Evie in it before she's too big! My little baby is growing!


One of these days we'll make the trip home so she can see her Grandpa play a gig. I have a feeling she's going to be their #1 Fan.

Here is where things started going south.
Sister wasn't hearing the tunes she requested...

Friday Morning Thoughts

Not really sure if this is going to become a regular thing... like a dumping ground for my overactive mind. Not even sure if anyone is reading these posts. But it's Friday and I've got thoughts. So here we go.

1. At one point in time I announced that I was going to give up dairy to see if it helped with Evie's "colic". Well, this time I'm really going to make an effort. Starting today, no caffine or coffee (including decaf) and none of the major dairy foods (cheese, milk, etc). I just don't know if I can do the entire food group, with all the label checking. There is dairy in everything. I also seriously considered the Total Elimination Diet, but I think I'll start with this and see how it goes... wish us luck.

2. On the same theme, I am taking Evie to see a chiropractor this morning. This has long been suggested to me, but since I've never been to one myself, I've been a little apprehensive. Let's pray it gives the little Blueberry some relief!

3. Last week, my phone nearly completely stopped working.. stopped receiving texts and wouldn't show missed calls, so if I actually MISSED a call, I had no idea. Not a great thing when you're home alone with a wee one and don't have a land line. But now I'm in limbo, waiting another 2 weeks for my stupid contract to be up so I don't have to pay 5 jillion dollars for a phone. Gaaaaahhhhhhhh.

4. Are you watching The Bachelor? What am I saying, of course you are. I really like Emily. But for some reason I don't think he's going to pick her, because of the way they're editing it. You know how they like to try and trick us. Dumb. And Hotter Than Crap Brad Womak? By far the best Bachelor they've had in a long time, even if it is his second time around.

5. In other reality news, Bethany Getting Married is on!! YAY! I pretty much enjoy all of the Real Housewives and their unbelievable drama. Hubby hates it. But I love Bethany's one liners and now feel a kinship to her, since her little girl looks just like her daddy, too. :)

6. I really need to schedule some family photos. This seems like such a task to me, since I like to take pictures of Evie myself. However, I'm pretty sure I have like 3 pictures of Evie and I together. Asking hubs to take our photo would be like asking him to saw off his arm with a butter knife. So as you can imagine, we have even fewer pictures of the three of us all together. Also, aren't they expensive???

7. My brother and sister-in-law just moved into a new house!! I'm so excited for them. They live in Southern California, and I'm pretty sure paid more to rent their tiny one bedroom apartment than we pay on our monthly mortgage. The new place looks beautiful and we can't wait to go out and visit!!

8. I'm dying to go to the beach. Somewhere hot and sticky with a gorgeous ocean view. We've been lucky enough to take a trip each year on or around our anniversary, which is in May. But somehow I just don't think that's in the cards for us this year.. Sigh.

9. Spring Break is like, next week, right?? This means nothing to me.

10. We have oh, about 26 weddings to attend this spring and summer, and suddenly I'm feeling like it's my junior year of college all over again. The only major difference this time around is that I'm not in a single one of them. Cue the hallelujah chorus!

Tiny Dancer {Three Months}

Look who's 3 months old already!!!


Our little munchkin has been so much fun lately.. she has the sweetest little personality.
She's happiest and most talkative right after she wakes up.

I just can't get enough- she has so much to say and will talk and coo back and forth with me for a long time!
We've been specifically working on "Mama".. why not, right? :)

And her faces.. this little Evie Girl has a million!


Love it.


We've been working on tummy time.. not her favorite, though her neck is very strong!



I think she'll be sitting up on her own very soon!


My sweet little girl finding her toes..

We love you Evie Girl!

Friday Morning Thoughts

1. February is almost over.. February is almost OVER!!!!!!

2. Pumping in the conference room at work is equal parts exhilerating, shameful and just plain weird. All I need to do is schedule a conference all at the same time to really bump it up to that next level.

3. Evie girl finally took two bottles in a row yesterday! WAHOOOO!!!

4. I am trying to decide on a new rug from Pottery Barn. I have some major credits to spend and want a rug for our front living room that I will soon transform into an office/playroom type space. SOON is all relative. Also? Not loving PB's rug choices at the moment. Can we bring back the last few seasons, please??

5. Spring is finally, definitely in the air around here, and it's doing wonders for me!! What is it about the weather that affects my mood so much? I am all energized to get started on about 15 projects around the house, clean everything and get outside!

6. I am soooo behind on my blog reading. Like majorly behind. Like it's the ever-growing pile of laundry that you just want to shut the door on and ignore rather than facing. I need to catch up!

7. National Margarita Day was some time this week. Did you celebrate accordingly? I did not, and am really feeling like I let down America.

8. Just remembered that I missed Modern Family on Wednesday and need to catch it on Hulu. Best.Show.Ever.

9. So far, I am enjoying being back at work and talking to adults and frankly, just getting out of the house. Thankfully, I only go in two days a week, so you can't beat that!

10. A few of you have asked about Evie's nursery.. yes, yes, I fully intend to do a full reveal!! We just recently got the shelves (thanks D&A!), so I need to get those hung. Stay tuned!
