i've been buying yards and yards of fabric but i can't sew.  go figure.  so i went ahead and bought this adorable apron/skirt off of etsy since i won't be making anything this cute anytime soon.

i also saw these adorable vintage wallpaper animals & trees - what a great idea!

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I posted over here.  Things are going well - Ava just turned 6 months old and is the coolest kid ever! 

I suck at blogging so I doubt I'll be doing a lot of posting.  I just wanted to pop in and see if there'd been any changes to the comments & lack of email notification to replies that drove me so crazy.

Here's a couple pix of our little girl

Gotta run - baby's crying!

• when she tries to sneeze but it doesn't come out she makes this really cute high pitched squeal - her sneezes are pretty friggin adorable too!
• when she nurses she really gets into it and starts making all these funny sounds and pinching and squeezing my boobs
• her big toothless grins she makes when drifting off to sleep (or they could be from gas, who knows!)
• she is obsessed with her tongue and sticks it out constantly
• when she purses her lips into a little "o" - i melt!
• when she sees her dad she just stares at him w/amazement

i can't wait until she starts smiling at me for real....i may just pass out!

but, oh so worth it.   

I'm typing one handed and Ava is being one fussy little lady - I'll be back as soon as I get a breather
with the details.

Thank you all for thinking of us!!
